Galacto-Oligosaccharide (GOS) 27% Powder – Premium Prebiotic for Health & Nutrition
Overview
Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) are functional prebiotic ingredients derived from lactose, closely mirroring the oligosaccharides naturally found in human breast milk. While cow’s milk contains only trace amounts of oligosaccharides (approx. 0.05 g/L), human colostrum offers 20–25 g/L, with mature milk still providing 5–20 g/L. GOS serves as an ideal supplement—especially in infant nutrition—to support digestive health by selectively promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli.
Thanks to their exceptional stability under high temperatures and varying pH levels, GOS can be seamlessly incorporated into a wide array of products including dairy items, fruit juices, bakery goods, confectionery, and functional beverages.
