Use | Overview Galactooligosaccharides (Galacto-oligosaccharides; GOS) is a kind of oligosaccharides, also known as "galactooligosaccharides". It is also a prebiotic that cannot be absorbed by the human body, but it can promote the growth and activity of probiotics in the large intestine. Therefore, it is often added to dairy products (such as formula milk powder) for infants or adults. |
