NOW Foods Supplements, Prebiotic Bifido Boost with PreticX™ Xylooligosaccharide (XOS) Prebiotic, Powder, 3-Ounce

The NOW Foods Prebiotic Bifido Boost is an excellent supplement for supporting digestive health. The powder form is easy to mix into smoothies or drinks, and it has a mild taste that’s not overpowering. After using it for a couple of weeks, I’ve noticed an improvement in my digestion and overall gut comfort. The addition of PreticX™ (Xylooligosaccharide) helps promote healthy gut bacteria, and it’s a great way to add a prebiotic boost to your diet. If you’re looking for a reliable, natural way to improve gut health, this prebiotic powder is definitely worth trying!

I purchased these prebiotics after doing a GI Map test that showed I had a massive overcrowding of bad bacteria in my microbiome. One of the recommendations was taking a XOS prebiotic. I went to my trusty Amazon and searched for prebiotics. I am familiar with NOW Supplements so decided to give it a try and I am glad I did. I add a 1/2 teaspoon to my daily smoothie along with my collagen powder. I have had no negative reactions to the product and can only hope it is helping me boost my good gut bacteria.

I believe the supplements are working, and I will purchase this item again when needed.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:After I bought, I mix it with water or food every day. It worked for me so I bought it three times already.

I think this is great stuff. They say it takes just a little to have the same effect of other oligosaccharides (like FOS, GOS, etc). Ergo, you can, I think, avoid some of the bloating which might come with too many of these FODMAP soluble fibres. Notably, it seems in particular to increase your Akkermansia Muciniphilia bacteria which is all to the good. I read this in a scientific paper the name of which I have forgotten. I'm sure it increases other commensal bacteria as well. And NOW Foods is a good outfit I believe. So how can you go wrong? Check it out! I think you will be glad you did. P.S. From extensive reading and personal experience, I strongly believe in the importance of soluble fibre for good health. In fact, I believe it is time to make FIBRE the 4th. major food group, along with carbs, proteins, and fats. Fibre is real, real, big. Go fibre!

This prebiotic is offered at a good price. My gastroenterologist recommended adding 1 tbsp of this to green tea with manuka honey twice daily as part of a natural treatment regimen for Heliobacter pylori overgrowth.Go easy when you first start taking this. Prebiotics work, in part, by fermentation, so this can experience a lot of flatulence (gas). This is NOT a flaw of the product. I could not tolerate 1 tbsp twice daily, so I reduced it to 1 tsp. Hope this helps!

Easy to mix with water & recommended by my physician for daily health.

Why would you put the single worst ingredient on the market into this supplement? It completely reverses and ruins this entire supplement. Maltodextrin does the exact opposite of everything the prebiotics are trying to accomplish. Spikes your blood pressure out the roof and works against your gut bacteria. Do not use this supplement!
