Reading time · 4 min

Galacto-oligosaccharides are short chains of galactose units. In nature they occur in breast milk, among other sources. For a supplement they are built up enzymatically from the lactose in cow's milk, during which that milk sugar is largely converted into the fibre itself.

What DP2 to DP6 means

DP stands for degree of polymerisation, the number of sugar units in a chain. This powder is not a uniform substance but a distribution: 31 percent DP2, 42 percent DP3, 22 percent DP4, 5 percent DP5 and less than 1 percent DP6 and longer. That spread determines how the fibre behaves.

Why purity matters

With GOS, the purity percentage tells you how much of it is actually fibre after the conversion and how much ordinary sugar is still in it. This raw material is above ninety percent. What remains is limited: 0.64 grams of lactose and 0.11 grams of glucose and galactose per 11-gram serving.

Biotis GOS-OP High Purity

The raw material used is Biotis GOS-OP High Purity, a patented ingredient produced under European food safety rules. It is heat and acid stable, has US GRAS status and is halal and kosher certified.

What happens to it in the gut

Prebiotic fibres are not digested in the small intestine and arrive unchanged in the large intestine. There they are fermented by bacteria, producing short-chain fatty acids such as butyrate, acetate and propionate, as well as gases such as hydrogen and carbon dioxide.

GOS Prebiotics, Biotis® GOS 400 grams

Biotis® GOS High Purity is a high-quality galacto-oligosaccharide (GOS) of Dutch origin, produced by FrieslandCampina. Galacto-oligosaccharides are among the most extensively researched prebiotic fibers and consist of short chains of galactose units derived from lactose. GOS occurs naturally in human breast milk as part of the broader family of oligosaccharides.

Biotis® GOS is produced according to high-quality standards and is known for its excellent solubility, neutral taste, and versatile applications. The powder is easy to mix with water, yogurt, smoothies, and other foods. Thanks to its mild, slightly sweet taste, it can also be easily combined with other supplements and functional ingredients.

Dutch Quality and Expertise

Biotis® GOS is developed and produced by FrieslandCampina, part of one of the world’s largest dairy cooperatives. The ingredient is manufactured according to strict quality and safety standards and is used worldwide in foods, dietary supplements, and specialized nutrition concepts.

Due to its high purity and consistent quality, Biotis® GOS is a widely used ingredient in innovative nutritional formulations. The powder has excellent processing characteristics, making it suitable for capsules, sachets, powders, and functional food products.

Fermentable Dietary Fiber

GOS belongs to the group of soluble dietary fibers. These fibers are not broken down in the upper part of the digestive tract and reach the large intestine largely intact, where they become part of natural fermentation processes. This distinguishes GOS from many other carbohydrates that are digested earlier in the body.

Synbiotic Combination

Biotis® GOS can be excellently combined with probiotic supplements such as Kefir Probiotics and with oligosaccharides such as 2’-Fucosyllactose (2'-FL). The combination of prebiotics and probiotics is often referred to as a synbiotic approach and is widely applied in modern nutritional concepts.

The Ultimate Prebiotic

GOS is an excellent prebiotic, alongside other prebiotics such as fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS), soy oligosaccharides (SOS), and inulin. GOS is exceptionally well tolerated. Prebiotics are also referred to as soluble fibers. There are also insoluble dietary fibers, which are recognized for supporting regular bowel movements.

Hydrogen Is Also Produced

In addition to short-chain fatty acids, fiber consumption also produces gases such as hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Together with oxygen, hydrogen is deeply connected to the origin and evolution of life on Earth. The balance between oxygen and hydrogen as antioxidants, or between oxidation and reduction, is essential in living organisms.

04 / What we may claim

EFSA claims for galacto-oligosaccharides.

Framework

EU 1924/2006

EFSA register

Subject

GOS

(prebiotics)

In Europe, health claims for food supplements are assessed by the EFSA. Authorised claims are listed in the official EU register.

For galacto-oligosaccharides, that register contains no authorised health claim. The EFSA does not regard a change in the gut flora in itself as a health effect.

No authorised claims
EU register
Regulation 1924/2006

There are no EFSA-authorised claims for galacto-oligosaccharides in the EU register.

On this page you can read how much fibre each serving contains, how the chains are distributed, how pure the raw material is and what happens to it in the gut. If you want to explore the literature, search for galacto-oligosaccharides.

Framework: Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 and Regulation (EU) No 432/2012. No health claim for galacto-oligosaccharides is included in the EU register. Prebiotic claims have been assessed by the EFSA and not authorised.

The content of this page has been checked for factual accuracy, from the composition of the raw material to compliance with the European rules on health claims. This product contains cow's milk lactose. Build up the dosage gradually, because prebiotic fibres can cause gas at a high starting dose. If in doubt, we recommend personal consultation.

All our products are carefully selected, assessed and tested. Products are processed as little as possible and kept as natural as possible.

Ergomax offers natural food supplements and is always looking for unique substances with a carefully documented profile. With GOS, the difference lies in the purity. There is a lot of powder on the market that, besides the fibre, still contains a considerable amount of ordinary sugar. We carry Biotis GOS-OP, with more than ninety percent GOS and a documented chain distribution.

08 / Frequently asked questions

What you still wanted to know.

01 What are galacto-oligosaccharides?

Short chains of galactose units, a type of fibre that occurs in nature in breast milk, among other sources. For a supplement they are built up enzymatically from lactose. They are not digested in the small intestine and arrive unchanged in the large intestine.

02 What do DP2, DP3 and DP4 mean?

DP stands for degree of polymerisation, in other words the number of sugar units in a chain. This powder consists of 31 percent DP2, 42 percent DP3, 22 percent DP4, 5 percent DP5 and less than 1 percent DP6 and longer. So it is a distribution and not a single fixed length.

03 Does this product contain lactose?

Yes, and it is also listed as an allergen on the label. The fibre is built up from the lactose of cow's milk, and a small part of it remains unconverted: 0.64 grams per 11-gram serving, plus 0.11 grams of glucose and galactose.

04 How much do I take per day and how do I mix it?

11 grams a day, about four teaspoons, mixed with a liquid or food of your choice. The powder is heat and acid stable, so hot drinks and dishes work too. A 400-gram jar is good for about 36 servings.

05 Why does it give me gas?

Prebiotic fibres are fermented in the large intestine and gases are released in the process, mainly hydrogen and carbon dioxide. That is part of the process. Start with a smaller amount than 11 grams and build up slowly.
