Did you know that when you take Lamberts FOS Powder, it passes through your digestive system undigested until it reaches your bowel? Here, the friendly bacteria use it as a food source. The result is a rapid growth in the 'friendly' bacteria, such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus species.

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

FOS is extracted from chicory roots and is suitable for all ages, including children and pregnant women and those on yeast-free diets and those on medication. Additionally, you can use it on a long term basis. This sweet, soluble powder can be mixed in to cold or hot drinks, sprinkled on cereals or eaten off the spoon.

• Vegetarian

It is recommended to dissolve in hot drinks or sprinkle on cereals. It can also be taken directly from the spoon. Drink at least 2 litres of liquid daily.

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.
