FOSSENCE® is a soluble prebiotic dietary fibre that primarily promotes the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, particularly:
1. Bifidobacteria, which is known for their role in contributing to gut homeostasis and health of the host by inhibiting harmful bacterial growth and help modulating the immune system. One of their important function is the production of lactate and acetate that is converted to butyrate by other colonic bacteria which has immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties.
2. Lactobacillius helps in the fermentation of carbohydrates, producing lactic acid which helps maintain an acidic environment in the gut, preventing the growth of pathogenic bacteria. Additionally, they also play a crucial role in maintaining overall gut health and in building immunity.
