PreBio Formula XOS

Sour apple chewable prebiotic with 2.8 g of PreticX xylooligosaccharides per two tablets to support beneficial gut bacteria.

What it is

PreBio Formula XOS is a chewable prebiotic. Each two-tablet serving supplies 2.8 g of xylooligosaccharides (XOS) as PreticX, a short-chain prebiotic fiber that beneficial gut bacteria use as food. The design idea is a prebiotic that works at a small dose, so it fits in a chewable tablet instead of a scoop of fiber. The tablets are sweetened with xylitol and monk fruit and flavored sour apple.

Who it's for

In the label's words, the formula provides the gastrointestinal tract with prebiotic fermentable fibers that promote a healthy balance of gut microbiota to help maintain digestive health. Because XOS works at a low dose, the fiber load is small. It suits a child or adult who will not swallow capsules or mix powders, and a household that wants a prebiotic without a large serving of fiber. The label gives no separate children's dose; ask your practitioner about use for children.
