Purimune™ prebiotic GOS is a highly pure prebiotic derived from lactose containing a minimum of 90% galactooligosaccharides (GOS). GOS are naturally-occurring oligosaccharides in human milk, containing glucose and repeating galactose units. Purimune supports immune system strength and overall well-being. Purimune is highly soluble, stable to high heat and low pH, and offers efficacy at low inclusion levels.

Purimune prebiotic GOS passes intact through the mouth, stomach and small intestine to the colon where it is completely fermented by beneficial bacteria into short-chain fatty acids (SCFA). SCFA promote digestive and immune health, and enhance mineral absorption. Purimune, prebiotic GOS promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria, and inhibits colonization of pathogenic bacteria like E. coli.

Supports Immune System Strength

Galactooligosaccharides such as Purimune™ prebiotic GOS occur naturally in human milk and support immune system strength. Purimune supports immunity by nourishing and stimulating the growth of beneficial microflora in the gastrointestinal (GI) system. By properly supporting the growth of beneficial microflora, Purimune also helps to reduce the number of pathogenic bacteria. The GI is the body's largest immune organ and, when properly balanced, supports healthy immune system function.

GOS, like Purimune, is prebiotic, and therefore provides immunostimulation and reduction of inflammation related to immune response. GOS also has anti-infective and allergy preventative properties.

Purimune™ prebiotic GOS provides numerous functional benefits to manufacturers formulating immune health products. Purimune is stable in extreme processing conditions, including high temperature and low pH, is highly soluble and delivers desirable textural and sensory properties.
