Chicory root is the main source of inulin in supplement form. Product not manufactured with wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish or tree nut ingredients.

I would not buy this product since it doesn't say what kind of fiber ?

just read about this in a Sunday newspaper supplement magazine article on osteoporosis and it said this is a soluble corn fiber supplement that can help body build and retain calcium at any age, according to Purdue University. Just 10-20 grams per day translated to a 5-7 percent increase in bone calcium retention. In your gut, soluble corn fiber breaks down into fatty acids, which aid your bone health.

I see that some people take less than the 1/2 teaspoon because 50 billion is too much. What does that mean?

It means that with 50 billion some people get indigestion. The thing most people don't seem to un derstand is that once you establish a healthy culture in your digestive tract, you just have to maintain it. 50 billion may be necessary to chase out the unwanted organisms, but 20 million is probably more than adequate for maintenance. It is not like you lose the previous days culture and need to replace it. The beneficial bacteria will colonize and multiply in your gut. Once there, you just have to keep them happy.

How long does a 2oz bottle last, taken as directions state?

Good question. Answer: "I don't know." According to the label, you've got 'about' 38 {1/2 teaspoon} servings - that's about 38 days. That said, I typically take 1/4 teaspoon servings - that's dropping down to 25 billion organisms. I found the 50 billion a tad too much. When my bottle empties, I will replace with 25 billion organism capsules, which I will empty and take in same manner as the 'powder.'

The NOW Foods Prebiotic Bifido Boost is an excellent supplement for supporting digestive health. The powder form is easy to mix into smoothies or drinks, and it has a mild taste that’s not overpowering. After using it for a couple of weeks, I’ve noticed an improvement in my digestion and overall gut comfort. The addition of PreticX™ (Xylooligosaccharide) helps promote healthy gut bacteria, and it’s a great way to add a prebiotic boost to your diet. If you’re looking for a reliable, natural way to improve gut health, this prebiotic powder is definitely worth trying!

I purchased these prebiotics after doing a GI Map test that showed I had a massive overcrowding of bad bacteria in my microbiome. One of the recommendations was taking a XOS prebiotic. I went to my trusty Amazon and searched for prebiotics. I am familiar with NOW Supplements so decided to give it a try and I am glad I did. I add a 1/2 teaspoon to my daily smoothie along with my collagen powder. I have had no negative reactions to the product and can only hope it is helping me boost my good gut bacteria.

I think this is great stuff. They say it takes just a little to have the same effect of other oligosaccharides (like FOS, GOS, etc). Ergo, you can, I think, avoid some of the bloating which might come with too many of these FODMAP soluble fibres. Notably, it seems in particular to increase your Akkermansia Muciniphilia bacteria which is all to the good. I read this in a scientific paper the name of which I have forgotten. I'm sure it increases other commensal bacteria as well. And NOW Foods is a good outfit I believe. So how can you go wrong? Check it out! I think you will be glad you did. P.S. From extensive reading and personal experience, I strongly believe in the importance of soluble fibre for good health. In fact, I believe it is time to make FIBRE the 4th. major food group, along with carbs, proteins, and fats. Fibre is real, real, big. Go fibre!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: After I bought, I mix it with water or food every day. It worked for me so I bought it three times already.
