AIC GOS Prebiotic Care is a targeted prebiotic formula containing Galactooligosaccharides (GOS), a selectively fermentable prebiotic designed to support the growth of beneficial Bifidobacterium species in the gut. GOS provides a specific substrate for beneficial bacteria, supporting a healthier gut microbiome, short-chain fatty acid production, gut barrier integrity and gut-immune balance.
Key Benefits
• Supports a Bifidobacterium-Rich Gut Microbiome – GOS selectively nourishes beneficial Bifidobacterium and supports a healthier microbial balance.
• Supports Gut Barrier & SCFA Production – Fermentation of GOS by beneficial bacteria produces short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and supports normal intestinal barrier function.
• Supports Gut-Immune Balance – A healthy gut microbiome contributes to balanced immune signalling and normal immune function.
• Supports Digestion & Gastrointestinal Comfort – Helps maintain healthy microbial balance and may support occasional bloating, gas, and digestive discomfort associated with dysbiosis.
• Supports Probiotic Effectiveness – Provides a prebiotic substrate that can help beneficial probiotic bacteria thrive, making it suitable for use alongside probiotic protocols.
• Supports Gut-Brain & Metabolic Health – GOS-mediated changes in the gut microbiome may support the gut-brain axis, stress resilience, satiety, and healthy metabolic function.
Key Ingredients
• Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) (3 gm): Selectively feeds Bifidobacterium. Supports production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), including acetate and butyrate. Seals gut barrier & reduce LPS endotoxin load. Reset gut-immune signalling. Helps support healthy gut barrier function and microbial balance.

Frequently Asked Questions
1-What is GOS?
GOS stands for Galactooligosaccharides, a type of prebiotic carbohydrate that selectively supports beneficial gut bacteria, particularly Bifidobacterium.
2-What is the difference between a prebiotic and a probiotic?
Probiotics provide live beneficial microorganisms.
Prebiotics provide specific substrates that beneficial microorganisms can use for growth and activity.
GOS therefore complements probiotic supplementation by providing nutritional support for beneficial bacteria.
3-Why is Bifidobacterium important?
Bifidobacterium is an important group of beneficial intestinal bacteria. It participates in carbohydrate fermentation and contributes to the production of metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids, which support gut microbial and intestinal health.
4-Can I take GOS with my probiotic?
Yes. GOS can be taken alongside a probiotic as part of a synbiotic protocol. The GOS provides prebiotic support for beneficial bacteria while the probiotic provides selected bacterial strains.
5-Can GOS initially cause bloating or gas?
Some individuals may experience mild gas or bloating when first introducing GOS because gut bacteria begin fermenting the additional prebiotic substrate. This generally settles as the microbiome adapts. Individuals who are sensitive may introduce it gradually under professional guidance.
6-Is GOS suitable for people with IBS?
GOS is a FODMAP carbohydrate, so individuals with IBS or significant FODMAP sensitivity may experience digestive symptoms, particularly at higher doses. Those with active SIBO or significant gastrointestinal symptoms should consult their healthcare professional before use.
7-Can GOS be used after antibiotics?
GOS may be used as part of a post-antibiotic nutritional strategy to support the growth of beneficial bacteria. The timing and overall microbiome protocol should be individualised by a healthcare professional.
8-Is GOS safe for long-term use?
It is generally well tolerated at recommended doses. Individuals with specific medical conditions should consult their healthcare professional before long-term supplementation.
9-Can GOS be taken during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
GOS is naturally present in human breast milk and has been used in infant nutrition. However, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their healthcare professional before starting a concentrated prebiotic supplement.
