FOS
FOS, short for Fructooligosaccharides occurs naturally and can be found in popular vegetables and fruits such as bananas and asparagus.
FOS is extracted from natural foods and used as a supplement for animals and humans because of the beneficial effects it's believed to have. Some of the benefits are especially useful to dogs, and thats why it's becoming a popular supplement in many dogs foods.
FOS is a short chain of sugar molecules that will not be digested. These molecules pass through the stomach into the intestines when it is used by the beneficial or 'friendly' bacteria to feed on. This promotes the growth of these probiotics, increasing immunity, improving digestion and stool quality.
