What is Organic Stachyose Powder?
Organic Stachyose Powder is a high-purity, plant-based prebiotic carbohydrate extracted from organic legumes (e.g., Stachys sieboldii or non-GMO soybeans). With ≥95% stachyose content, this water-soluble fiber selectively feeds beneficial gut bacteria like Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli, making it a cornerstone for digestive wellness and functional food innovation.
Key Highlights
- Prebiotic Efficacy:
- ≥95% Stachyose Purity (HPLC): Stimulates growth of beneficial gut microbiota.
- Low Caloric Value: 2 kcal/g – ideal for low-GI and diabetic-friendly formulations.
- Health Synergy:
- Mineral Bioavailability: Enhances calcium and magnesium absorption by 15-20%.
- Immune Modulation: Reduces pathogenic bacteria (e.g., Clostridium spp.) via competitive exclusion.
- Clean & Versatile:
- USDA/EU Organic certified, non-GMO, gluten-free, and allergen-free.
- Neutral taste, heat-stable (up to 160°C), and fully water-soluble.

FAQs
Q: How does stachyose differ from FOS (fructooligosaccharides)?
A: Stachyose has a unique α-galactose structure, which is slower to ferment, reducing gas/bloating compared to FOS.
Q: Is it safe for lactose-intolerant individuals?
A: Yes! Stachyose is unrelated to lactose and safe for lactose-intolerant users.
Q: Recommended daily dosage?
A: 3-5g/day for adults; start with 1g/day to assess tolerance.
Q: Can it be used in baked goods?
A: Yes! Stable up to 160°C, ideal for cookies, breads, and granola.
