Fructooligosaccharide Polysaccharides
PreliminaryMechanism of Action
Selectively fermented by Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus species in the colon, functioning as prebiotic substrates. Fermentation produces SCFAs, particularly butyrate, promoting mucosal barrier integrity and reducing systemic LPS translocation.
