FOS (formerly Eliminex)

•  After 2 weeks of taking 8g of FOS daily, research has shown that it can increase the number of beneficial bacteria in the gut by up to 10 times.

•  FOS is extracted from chicory roots & suitable for all ages, including children & pregnant women, as well as those on yeast-free diets & those on medication. It can be used on a long term basis.

•  It is a sweet soluble powder that can be mixed in to cold or hot drinks, sprinkled on cereals or eaten off the spoon
