XOS (Xylo-oligosaccharide) is a very beneficial prebiotic that increases bifidobacteria (one of the friendly and important good bacteria) in your gut. After Jarrow Formulas discontinued their line, NOW food is the only brand I can find that provides xos in powder form. XOS not only improves your digestion through an improved gut microbiome, but may also benefit your mood and inflammatory response. Jarrow Formulas had a larger package which is easier to scoop, but this one is also manageable with a smaller scoop. The taste is neutral, so you can easily drink it with water or add it to your favorite shake.

It’s delicious, and I take small spoonfuls of it during the day and when I wake up at night, because I think it’s best when it hits the colon on an empty stomach. My digestion is wonderful, but I also combine this product with other foods high in fiber and “resistant starch”. If you are interested in this product, you also want to know more about resistant starch, as well as the other oligosaccharides: isomalto-, fructo-, galacto-, etc. This product looks cool.

stars. I had extreme bloating, esophageal spasms and unpredictable bowel movements (sometimes diarrhea and sometimes constipation). I started researching the microbiome and learned that xylooligosaccharide stimulates bifidobacteria by 10x. According to most research, people with IBS/SiBo or another colon-related autoimmune disease have low beneficial bacteria and highly pathogenic bacteria. I started taking 1g/day to see the effects. For 1 week I noticed that my esophageal spams had decreased tremendously to the point that I could finally sleep soundly. I increased the dose to 2g after 2 weeks and lo and behold, my esophageal spasms were gone. My bloating has eased a bit but is more tolerable now and my poo has started to form. For years I doubted prebiotics, but now after trying this one, it really makes me a believer. I study all kinds of prebiotics now. This product is really good because it is purely xylooligosaccharide. I still use this product for 6 months now.

This prebiotic is the best addition to my diet so far. It is easy to mix into smoothies. It supposedly helps foster a beneficial environment for bifidobacteria to flourish. I trust Now supplements!

bought it to stimulate beneficial bacteria. XOS is one of the few prebiotic fibers that only requires small doses to work and it does this by selectively feeding bifodobacteria in the gut.

have been using this XOS Bifido powder for a few weeks and found that it has not caused any gas issues like other prebiotic powers like inulin and FOS. I had terrible issues with gas, leaky gut, and dysbiosis. This powder has been very helpful in increasing the balance of microflora in my gut. I use 2 teaspoons a day, one morning and one evening. It has a slightly sweet taste, so it works well in foods as well as in smoothies. I also use it as an enema implant.

This is an excellent prebiotic that should help boost the bifido microbiome in your system. Bifido strains have many benefits related to digestion and gut health. Recommended.

Xylooligosaxcharides are much more powerful in nourishing the microbiome, more so than FOS and inulin. This has been my experience. Don’t overdo it, though. I take 2-5mg a day (with yogurt) and it has really “replenished” my microbiome in the colon. I could literally feel the positive changes. For me, this product helps maintain a healthy colon, which makes the immune system strong but balanced.

bought this based on my Viome test and it exceeded my expectations. I’ve bought a lot of vitamins and supplements, but if I had to give them all up and keep 2, it would be this NOW bifidio and Now Inulin. I had no idea I could get such an energy boost from a prebiotic! they were both recommended by my viome test but I bought them from Ecosupplements at a much better price

works great to reduce my IBS symptoms, I take it once a day half a teaspoon mixed in my hot drink or juice. I have already purchased my 3rd refill.
