Isomalto-oligosaccharides
Upon consumption, Isomalto-oligosaccharides (IMO) are directly utilized by beneficial gut microbiota residing in the large intestine, such as Bifidobacterium and lactic acid bacteria, thereby promoting their proliferation. The resulting metabolites, including lactic acid and acetic acid, can help promote intestinal motility and regulate physiological functions.
Bifidobacterium in the large intestine plays a role in suppressing the synthesis of harmful factors within the body. As a nutritional source for Bifidobacterium, IMO promotes the growth of these bacteria in the gut, thereby helping to maintain digestive tract function and regulate physiological constitution.
