Expert Perspective

Low calorie sweeteners like Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) offer a smarter way to enjoy sweetness without sharp spikes in blood sugar. Various clinical studies carried out all over the world demonstrated that these sweeteners used in functional foods and beverages act as prebiotics, supporting digestive health, while maintaining metabolic balance.

Expert Perspective

Low Glycemic Index (GI) sweeteners like Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) provide a healthier alternative to sugar by preventing rapid blood glucose spikes. Clinical studies suggest that these sweeteners function as prebiotics in functional foods, promoting gut health and metabolic stability without compromising on flavour.
