Tag: Short chain fructooligosaccharides

Short-chain fructooligosaccharides, the scientific term for short chains of fructose molecules, escape digestion in the upper intestine and serve as a selective food source for beneficial bacteria in the colon. These molecules are a vital component of dietary fiber, offering a range of documented health benefits.

According to nutritional data provided by Abbott, a standard 8 fl oz (237 mL) serving of TwoCal HN contains 1.2 grams of dietary fiber. This fiber is primarily in the form of short-chain fructooligosaccharides (scFOS), which function as prebiotics to support digestive health and beneficial gut bacteria.
