Lamberts FOS (Fructo-Oligosaccharides) is a 100% natural soluble fibre derived from chicory roots, designed to help maintain bowel health. This prebiotic promotes better bowel tone, more regular movements, and a reduction in digestive upsets. The sweet, soluble powder can be effortlessly mixed into hot or cold drinks, sprinkled onto cereals, desserts, or even eaten directly off the spoon.

As a special soluble fibre, FOS passes through the digestive system undigested until reaching the bowel, where beneficial bacteria like Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus species utilise it as a food source. This process results in a rapid growth of these 'friendly' bacteria, significantly increasing their numbers by up to 10 times after just two weeks of taking 8g of FOS daily. This makes Lamberts FOS an effective prebiotic, greatly contributing to gut health.

Suitable for all ages, including children and pregnant women, Lamberts FOS is also appropriate for those on yeast-free diets, medication, and can be used long-term. Free from common allergens like wheat, barley, soya, eggs, milk, lactose, nuts, sulphites, and gluten-containing ingredients, this product is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

If any of these intake levels cause excessive flatulence then reduce the dose and gradually build up. The flatulence is a positive sign that FOS has reached the bowel and is feeding your ‘friendly’ bacteria. As the bacteria consume FOS a gas is produced which can lead to some flatulence at first, however, after a few days this will disappear as further ‘friendly’ bacteria develop and absorb the gases. For intakes over 10g (or 5g in children); dividing the intake into 2 daily doses, 1 at each end of the day, will help reduce flatulence.

FOS may cause temporary bloating. This is a short-term effect and once your system ‘speeds up’ the bloating will disappear. If bloating continues for more than 3 days then reduce the daily intake of FOS.

Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place. Do not use if the seal under the cap is broken or missing.
