So, what is oligofruktos?
Oligofructose is a naturally occurring dietary fiber found in a variety of plants, including chicory root. It is a type of fructan that is composed of short chains of fructose molecules linked together. Oligofructose has a mildly sweet taste and is often used as a low-calorie sweetener in food products. It is also known for its prebiotic properties, meaning it can stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut. As a result, oligofructose is often added to foods and supplements to improve digestive health.
