How Pholigo Powder has helped my constipation problem

Pholigo Oligosaccharides

Pholigo is made from all- natural plant derived ingredients. When I first heard about it, I was a bit hesitant to try the said product. First, because it was the kind of product I’m not entirely familiar with. 

Fructo-oligosaccharides are made up of plant sugars linked in chains. They are taken from asparagus, Jerusalem artichokes, and soybeans, or produced in the laboratory. People use these sugars to make medicine.

Fructo-oligosaccharides are also used as prebiotics. Prebiotics act as food for “good” bacteria in the intestine. Don't confuse prebiotics with probiotics such as lactobacillus, bifidobacteria, and saccharomyces, which are live organisms that are good for health. People sometimes take probiotics by mouth to increase the number in their intestine.

Fructo-oligosaccharides pass undigested into the colon where they increase bowel mass and promote growth of certain bacteria that are thought to be beneficial.

Pholigo is a globally known natural plant-derived prebiotic powder used as a nutrition fortifier. Aside from its innate good taste, its excellent versatility in application makes it the perfect addition to any food or beverage you normally consume.

The prebiotic effects of Pholigo has been confirmed in numerous scientific researches and clinic trials. It is proven to nourish and support the growth as well as the activities of beneficial bacteria in the colon, thus improving general health and well-being.
