Vegan Galactic Oligosaccharides product

Does anyone know any vegan GOS product? I found this https://www.amazon.com/Health-Aid-GOSPrebio/dp/B07CJLYR82 but it is expensive for how much I need to take and a pain to get to me as I am not in the States.

Thank you!

PS. I also found a Chinese wholesaler but I really do not need 25 kilos of it. Who knows, if I get more desperate: https://www.sdblcycn.com/galacto-oligosaccharide-70-powder/62819518.html

Improving Metabolic Health through the Gut: Rich Maurer's HMO Success Story

Rich Maurer experimented with Human Milk Oligosaccharides or HMOs, a prebiotic found in human breastmilk, while tracking his microbiome using 16s RNA testing. Rich was able to see a significant increase in his and family membersโ€™ gram positive bacteria, Bifidobacteria and Akkermansia muciniphila, and concurrent improvements in their health, including improvements to IBS-D, asthma and acne, lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, and reduced hemoglobin A1C from prediabetic to optimal on The Perfect Stool Podcast with host Lindsey Parsons, EdD: https://link.chtbl.com/theperfectstool-Reddit

Effects of dragon fruit oligosaccharides on immunity, gut microbiome, and their metabolites in healthy adults โ€“ a randomized double-blind placebo controlled study

The effects of DFO on immune stimulation gut microbe modulation and the correlation of gut microbiota and nutrients were investigated in a human trial. This clinical study was a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial. The participants were 107 healthy adults, divided into 3 groups that received DFO in drinking waterdoses of 4 and 8 g/day, compared to the placebo group for 4 consecutive weeks. DFO consumption at 4 g/day increased IgA level (11.31 mg/dL or 10.95% from baseline) and 8 g/day outstandingly promoted the growth of Bifidobacterium spp. (8.41%) and Faecalibacterium (1.99%) and decreased harmful bacteria, especially, Escherichia coli (8.44%)

DFO = Dragon Fruit Oligosaccharides

How many prebiotics should one consume per day? Is there a reasonable upper limit with notably diminishing returns beyond? There are certain foods (legumes, certain veggies, seeds etc.) which I consume almost exclusively for fiber and prebiotics.

Prebiotic intervention in untreated hypertensive patients assessed in a phase II randomized trial

Abstract

Patients receiving the HAMSAB treatment showed a clinically relevant reduction in 24-hour systolic blood pressure independent of age, sex and body mass index without any adverse effects.

HAMSAB increased levels of acetate and butyrate, shifted the microbial ecosystem and expanded the prevalence of SCFA producers. In summary, a prebiotic intervention with HAMSAB could represent a promising option to deliver SCFAs and lower blood pressure in patients with essential hypertension.

Would you buy this prebiotic supplement?

Would you be interested in a proprietary blend of prebiotics, selected using a data-driven approach, to alleviate gastrointestinal symptoms, support immune health and promote well-being?

I am currently completing an MBA capstone project with a company that is looking to expand its product portfolio.

Any feedback would be much appreciated, link to the concept product: https://lnkd.in/ghCxFudA

What is the reason for this group?

So many questions go unanswered. Are there any people in this group that actually definitively know things or is it comprised mostly of people like myself who have read a ton of stuff online about prebiotics but can never seem to get a straight answer about anything.

Sorry, Iโ€™m frustrated and venting. Thought this community would be more helpful than it had been.

Resistant starch newbie

I'm just learning about resistant starch. Any thoughts on if potato starch powder or green banana powder are better? Are they different? Should I be trying both? Any brand recommendations?

Gut health research

Do certain foods make you feel bad? Are you experiencing gastrointestinal upset? Are you interested in improving your gut health? Was there a time you would have sold your right arm for a solution? Is there a gut health product you cannot live without? Are there any barriers keeping you from adopting new products?

I am currently completing an MBA capstone project with a company that is looking to expand its product portfolio. I am seeking insights and would like to hear from you - the good, the bad, and the ugly.ย

Prenutra daily tummy defense

Has anyone tried this supplement? 5 g of GOS. Almost double Bimuno and Iโ€™ve seen multiple research studies say 5 g is the optimal dose for most people. Would love to hear from anyone whoโ€™s taken it.

UPDATE: weโ€™ll, itโ€™s back to Bimuno for me. I gave it a full 30 days. The extra 15 bucks is worth it to me since I find Bimuno more effective on my anxiety.

Also, Iโ€™m disabled and have limited use of one hand. With Prenutra, you must squeeze the packet from top to bottom into your drink using both hands or you wonโ€™t get A LOT of whatโ€™s in there. Much easier with the powder.

Question about fiber supplementation for someone on keto

Hello, I am about to come off a long-term fast and about to start a keto/OMAD protocol. I am looking for guidance in fiber supplementation. My current plans are:

  • Flax seeds: 2 tbsp seeds (ground)
  • Potato starch: 2 tbsp

My thoughts are that the resistant starch can be very beneficial but needs some soluble fiber to survive long enough in the GI tract. Flax provides some soluble fiber, and helps cover some sins with respect to omega 3/6 ratios.

Questions:

  • 2 tbsp of flax seeds have about 5.8g of fiber. Is that enough to shield ~20g of potato starch? Should I up the flax a bit? Add something like psyllium that has more soluble fiber?
  • I'm trying to keep things simple, but is it worth adding something in the FOS/GOS space? Would inulin make sense?

Thanks.

Dosage control of inulin?

I am unable to locate inulin in anything other than powder form. This does not allow me to control dosage accurately.

How do you control dosage and are there tablets or capsules available?

It also appears to be completely unregulated, so how do you control purity?

I'm in Australia.

Bimuno and tiredness, what's your experience ?

Hi everyone,

I have IBS and tried bimuno( galactooligosaccharides (GOS)) for a week.

I feel incredibly relax, which is positive. It also takes my anxiety away.

And my IBS and eczema improved. My hunger pangs stopped(i had binge eating disorder).

But i also got sudden brain fog(blank mind), which started after taking bimuno.

And i'm too tired to do anything.

I want to sleep, but its afternoon. I never experienced this before.

Is this bad bacteria die off what makes me tired? Is this going to improve over time ?

What are your experiences ?

โ€‹

I want to continu bimuno(some effects are very positive), but only if my tiredness is temporary.

โ€‹

Thank you

Extra information: i suffered panick disorder my whole life, insomnia, its normal for me to be stressed the whole time. I never experienced silence in my head. Maybe bimuno normalised my stress ?

Lentils = flat stomach first time in years BUT...

I've tested and retested and I'm pretty sure that green lentils have a strong de-bloating effect on me.

I'm guessing this is the pre-biotic fibers at work? The bad news is that I seem to break out in hives every time I eat them (I have many food intolerances).

This tells me that maybe it's just a matter of finding the the right prebiotics for the gut to fix some of these IBS symptoms? ..Makes me wonder what specific strains the lentils are feeding.
