A balanced gastrointestinal system not only improves nutrient absorption, but also strengthens natural defenses and contributes to a more active and healthy life. That&#8217;s why we incorporate functional ingredients such as prebiotic fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS) into <a href=\"https:\/\/dannapet.com\/en\/our-products\/\">all Danna Pet Food recipes<\/a>, which are essential allies in ensuring this balance.<\/p><p>These are functional fibers that reach the intestine without being broken down by digestive enzymes, acting as \u201cfood\u201d for beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium.<\/p><p>This promotes their growth and activity, contributing to a healthy balance of the intestinal microbiota. MOS also help prevent harmful bacteria from adhering to the intestinal walls and strengthen the body&#8217;s natural defenses.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>In which foods are they found?<\/strong><\/h2><p>FOS are naturally obtained from fiber-rich foods such as chicory root or pulp, beets, bananas, barley, and other vegetables.
