xylooligosaccharide

PreticX is a branded prebiotic ingredient composed of xylooligosaccharides (XOS), primarily derived from non-GMO corn cobs. Developed by AIDP, Inc., it is designed to selectively stimulate the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, such as *Bifidobacterium*, at significantly lower doses than traditional prebiotics like inulin or fructooligosaccharides (FOS). Clinical research, including studies in overweight adults, has demonstrated that PreticX can help reduce visceral adipose tissue, lower systemic inflammation markers, and improve metabolic health. It is commonly used in dietary supplements and functional foods to support gut health and immune function.
