AOR XOS Unflavoured Lozenges

XOS (Xylo-oligosacchride) is a prebiotic fiber that promotes the growth of the probiotic Bifidobacterium.  XOS is one of many different prebiotics.  All prebiotics promote the growth of gut microflora, good and bad, but XOS selectively promotes the growth of only beneficial microflora, namely bifidobacteria. As the number of beneficial flora increases, they can inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria by competing with the harmful bacteria for resources.  The beneficial flora can also lower the pH of the intestines to make it an inhospitable environment for harmful bacteria to live.  Improved gut microflora has benefits for digestive, cardiovascular, and overall health, especially in improving occasional gastrointestinal disorders.

Features:

• XOS is a prebiotic fibre that promotes the growth of the probiotic Bifidobacterium
• Quickly and gently relieves constipation and diarrhea
• Benefits digestive and metabolic health
• Promotes the growth of only "good" bacteria
• Safe for long term use and safe in the 2nd and 3rd trimester of pregnancy

Dosage: Take 2-4 lozenges daily for intestinal regularity and constipation relief. Take 4-6 lozenges daily as a prebiotic for growth of Bifidobacterium.  Take 5-6 lozenges for a source of fibre.  Take 2 hours before or after taking other medications or natural health products, or as directed by a qualified health care practitioner.  To maintain adequate fluid intake, take with at least 1 glass of water.
