FAQs
Q: Can I substitute powder with syrup 1:1?
A: No – syrup has 25-28% water. Use 1.3g syrup ≈ 1g powder (adjust for dry solids).
Q: Is XOS safe for diabetics?
A: Yes – low glycemic impact (GI = 2) and clinically tested for blood sugar management.
Q: How to prevent syrup crystallization?
A: Store at 15-25°C; add 1-2% glycerin as a stabilizer if needed.
Q: Does XOS cause bloating?
A: Minimal at ≤5g/day due to high bifidobacteria selectivity.
