OTHER INGREDIENTS
14 % IMO Isomalto-oligosaccharide (IMO) is a moderately sweet carbohydrate, from vegetable origin, that occurs naturally in fermented foods. It has certain beneficial properties similar to oligofructose and inulin and like these it is made up of carbohydrate chains (glucose) that are mainly resistant to digestion, and therefore low in calories and has a low glycemic index (34)*.
It has been shown to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the colon and even effectively improve bowel movements, stool output and microbial fermentation in the colon without any adverse effects*.
