Our certified organic galactooligosaccharides (GOS) powder is a high-purity, soluble prebiotic fiber produced through enzymatic transgalactosylation of organic lactose (from organic milk) or organic plant-derived lactose analogs (for vegan options). With ≥90% total GOS content (on dry solids basis), it selectively nourishes beneficial gut bacteria—especially Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli—to support digestive health, immune balance, and overall wellness.
Recognized by EFSA, FDA, and Codex as a safe and effective prebiotic, our organic GOS is ideal for clean-label, non-GMO, and functional food applications requiring verified gut-health benefits.
What Is Organic GOS?
Galactooligosaccharides are short-chain carbohydrates composed of 2–8 galactose units, typically derived from lactose. Our organic GOS powder is manufactured using food-grade β-galactosidase enzymes under controlled conditions, followed by gentle purification and spray-drying—without chemical solvents, synthetic additives, or animal testing.
We offer two sourcing options to meet diverse market needs:
- Dairy-based: From certified organic milk lactose (contains trace dairy; not vegan)
- Vegan/Plant-based: From bio-fermented organic glucose or sucrose via microbial synthesis (dairy-free, suitable for vegan & allergen-sensitive applications)
Please specify your preferred source when ordering.
Key Functional & Health Benefits
- High prebiotic efficacy: Clinically shown to increase bifidobacteria within days
- Low sweetness: ~30% of sucrose—ideal for low-sugar formulations
- Excellent solubility: Fully soluble in cold water (>70% w/w)
- Heat & acid stable: Suitable for pasteurization, UHT, baking, and acidic beverages
- Zero glycemic impact: Does not raise blood glucose or insulin levels
- Non-cariogenic: Does not contribute to tooth decay
- Synergistic with probiotics: Enhances survival and activity of live cultures

FAQs
Q: Is GOS safe for infants?
A: Yes! Organic GOS is GRAS-approved and mimics HMOs in breast milk, supporting infant gut health.
Q: Can GOS replace FOS in formulations?
A: Absolutely—GOS has superior bifidogenic effects and better tolerance in sensitive individuals.
Q: Does heat processing destroy GOS?
A: No! It remains stable up to 160°C, making it suitable for baked goods and UHT-treated products.
Q: Is this product vegan-friendly?
A: Yes—sourced from plant-based organic lactose alternatives (e.g., beet sugar-derived).
Q: Do you offer private labeling?
A: Yes! Custom branding and packaging available for bulk orders.
