galacto-oligosaccharide prebiotic supplement

A nutritional supplement containing fibers and galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), with potential immunomodulating and prebiotic activities. Upon oral administration of the GOS prebiotic supplement, the GOS stimulates the proliferation of beneficial bifidobacteria in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This modulates the GI flora ecosystem and protects against harmful viruses and bacteria. The bacterial metabolites, such as the short chain fatty acid (SCFA) butyrate, may be essential for normal differentiation of regulatory immune cells in the intestine. In addition, the GOS prebiotic supplement may inhibit inflammation by increasing the level of anti-inflammatory cytokines and decreasing the level of proinflammatory cytokines.
