Description
AIC GOS Prebiotic Care is a targeted prebiotic formula containing Galactooligosaccharides (GOS), a selectively fermentable prebiotic designed to support the growth of beneficial Bifidobacterium species in the gut. GOS provides a specific substrate for beneficial bacteria, supporting a healthier gut microbiome, short-chain fatty acid production, gut barrier integrity and gut-immune balance.
Key Ingredients
- Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) (3gm): Selectively feeds Bifidobacterium. Supports production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), including acetate and butyrate. Seals gut barrier & reduce LPS endotoxin load. Reset gut-immune signalling. Helps support healthy gut barrier function and microbial balance.
Key Indications
- Gut dysbiosis
- Bifidobacterium depletion
- Poor gut microbial diversity
- Digestive discomfort and occasional bloating and gas
- Compromised gut barrier support
- Post-antibiotic microbiome support
- Poor response or plateau with probiotic supplementation
- Long-term microbiome maintenance
- Individuals seeking targeted prebiotic support
Recommended Dosage
Take 1 scoop of Powder in 200ml water, mix, stir it well and drink or as recommended by healthcare professional. Can be taken anytime during the day.
Why Choose This Product?
- Pure GOS powder
- Precision prebiotic formula
- Vegan-friendly and suitable for both men and women
- Suitable for long-term microbiome support when used at recommended doses.
FAQs
GOS stands for Galactooligosaccharides, a type of prebiotic carbohydrate that selectively supports beneficial gut bacteria, particularly Bifidobacterium.
Probiotics provide live beneficial microorganisms.
Prebiotics provide specific substrates that beneficial microorganisms can use for growth and activity.
GOS therefore complements probiotic supplementation by providing nutritional support for beneficial bacteria.
Bifidobacterium is an important group of beneficial intestinal bacteria. It participates in carbohydrate fermentation and contributes to the production of metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids, which support gut microbial and intestinal health.
Yes. GOS can be taken alongside a probiotic as part of a synbiotic protocol. The GOS provides prebiotic support for beneficial bacteria while the probiotic provides selected bacterial strains.
Some individuals may experience mild gas or bloating when first introducing GOS because gut bacteria begin fermenting the additional prebiotic substrate. This generally settles as the microbiome adapts. Individuals who are sensitive may introduce it gradually under professional guidance.
GOS is a FODMAP carbohydrate, so individuals with IBS or significant FODMAP sensitivity may experience digestive symptoms, particularly at higher doses. Those with active SIBO or significant gastrointestinal symptoms should consult their healthcare professional before use.
GOS may be used as part of a post-antibiotic nutritional strategy to support the growth of beneficial bacteria. The timing and overall microbiome protocol should be individualised by a healthcare professional.
It is generally well tolerated at recommended doses. Individuals with specific medical conditions should consult their healthcare professional before long-term supplementation.
GOS is naturally present in human breast milk and has been used in infant nutrition. However, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their healthcare professional before starting a concentrated prebiotic supplement.
