Lamberts FOS is a dietary supplement of prebiotics with oligosaccharides.
Fructose-oligosaccharides (FOSs) are a form of soluble carbohydrates, found in many vegetables such as acids and onions. When taken orally they are only partially absorbed, as most of them are used as a nutrient substrate for the development of normal bacterial intestinal flora (mainly Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus genera).
Nutrition studies have shown that daily intake of 8 grams of FOS over a 2-week period is accompanied by a tenfold increase in Bifidobacteria, a threefold increase in Lactobacilli, while also causing a reduction in pathogenic Bacteriodes.
It is suitable for all ages, including children and pregnant women, as well as people who are on a non-yeast diet, and those on medication. It can be used for a long time.
Dosage
(1 heaped teaspoon = 5g). This product may be used in one of two ways:
- At low doses FOS acts as a prebiotic (bowel-‘conditioner’)
- At larger doses FOS conditions the bowel and also helps maintain regularity.
For specific requirements:
Initial Dose Maintenance Dose
- Adults 5g 10g
- Children 4 years & up 2.5g 5g
General maintenance:
Initial Dose Normal Full Dose Maintenance Daily Dose
- Adults 5g Try 15g Try 20g
- Children 4 years & up 2.5g Try 5g 10g
Instructions of use
Dissolve in hot drinks or sprinkle onto cereal. Alternatively simply take it ‘off the spoon’. Be sure to drink at least 2 litres of fluids a day.
Contraindications
If any of these intake levels cause excessive flatulence then to 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.
Storage
Keep the product in a dry, cool place up to 25°C (77°F), and protect it from light. Inappropriate storage conditions, such as prolonged exposure to sunlight, high temperature, humidity, and freezing conditions, may result in alterations to the product.
Keep out of reach of children.
