How it works
PreticX™ XOS (xylooligosaccharide) and BioEcolians® a-GOS (alpha-glucooligosaccharide) are advanced prebiotic supplements designed to support and modulate gut microbiota for optimal digestive, immune, and metabolic health. These prebiotics are nondigestible fibers that nourish beneficial gut bacteria, promoting the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) such as butyrate and propionate. These SCFAs play crucial roles in gut health, from supporting intestinal motility and nutrient metabolism to enhancing emotional wellness and immune function. Both XOS and a-GOS have been scientifically proven to boost the growth of Bifidobacteria, a genus essential for healthy immune development and cytokine balance, particularly during infancy and beyond.
Emerging evidence underscores the importance of prebiotics over probiotics in maintaining gut health. While probiotics provide beneficial bacteria, prebiotics serve as the fuel that supports these microorganisms’ growth and activity. Research indicates that a diet rich in prebiotics like XOS and a-GOS leads to a more diverse gut microbiome, which is strongly correlated with overall health and resilience. Unlike many prebiotics that can cause digestive discomfort, such as bloating and gas, XOS and a-GOS are well-tolerated by most individuals, making them an ideal choice for enhancing gut health without the unwanted side effects.
In clinical trials, supplementation with PreticX™ XOS has shown significant improvements in Bifidobacterium counts and gastrointestinal comfort. For example, a study involving healthy adults demonstrated a 21% increase in Bifidobacterium after just four weeks of XOS supplementation. Furthermore, BioEcolians® a-GOS has been shown to improve bowel motility, stool consistency, and overall abdominal comfort, with continued benefits over a 28-day supplementation period. These prebiotics not only promote a balanced gut microbiota but also support the production of antimicrobial peptides like defensins, which enhance the gut’s natural defense mechanisms.
The role of polyphenols in gut health has also garnered attention for their ability to further support a healthy microbiome. These naturally occurring compounds, found in foods like cranberry, blueberry, and pomegranate, are metabolized in the colon by beneficial bacteria to produce metabolites that benefit both gut microbial composition and systemic health. Studies suggest that polyphenols may improve fat metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and cytokine balance while promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. This combination of prebiotics and polyphenols provides a holistic approach to gut health, ensuring not only a balanced microbiome but also improved metabolic and immune function.
