Generally, looking at the history of the Sea-Dweller collection, we know the very modern Sea-Dweller. While, we suppose that you keep up with the previous articles on the four preceding Sea-Dweller models before delving into reading this article about the replica rolex watches. Replica Rolex laid aside the Sea-Dweller model interested in a new and much larger Deepsea Sea-Dweller watch in 2019. Nonetheless, after six years, the Swiss watchmaking monster decided to bring it back.

How is FOS both dietary fibre and prebiotic?
First of all, FOS is a “water-soluble dietary fibre”. The water-soluble dietary fibre will swell and show a gelatine state after being soaked in water. Therefore, FOS can help the hydrate intestines, increase the weight and volume of faeces, thus supporting healthy bowel motions.
Secondly, since the human body does not digest or decompose FOS, it eventually reaches the large intestine and selectively nourishes “good bacteria”. For this reason, FOS is a prebiotic approved by the WHO (World Health Organization).
What is the biggest difference between yacon from other countries and NZFOS+ yacon?
The biggest difference between yacon from other countries and New Zealand yacon is the concentration of prebiotics (FOS). New Zealand yacon are grown organically, the thickness of NZFOS+ is at least 80 Brix, and it has a standardised natural FOS level of at least 37 percent.
Why is the product made into syrup instead of powder or capsules?
The form of the syrup best preserves the FOS and other active ingredients from the yacon in the most natural way. Both milling and capsulation require multiple processing steps, and natural prebiotics will be spoiled if they are processed excessively.

The yacon used in NZFOS+ comes from three plantations in New Zealand. The yacon from the Kerikeri farm is organic and the other two farms – Pukekohe and Mangatawhiri – are in a transitioning period. New Zealand Pure Organic Certification takes a 3-year monitoring on not just the plantation but the entire supply chain, and we are working towards fully organic.
Why not just eat yacon bought from a grocery shops?
Eating fresh yacon fruits may cause blood sugar rise.
The FOS content in yacon fruits fluctuates with seasonal, environmental, or pH level changes and would convert to free sugar. While FOS has no effect on blood sugar, free sugar does.
Diabetics should try to avoid free sugar intake. The purpose of the yacon concentration process is to preserve the natural FOS in yacon to the utmost extent. After years of experimentation, we have ascertained the ideal planting areas, conditions, climate, temperature difference, and even the spacing of the plants and the processing of yacon. Consuming NZFOS+ ensures that you are getting FOS instead of free sugar.
What is the difference between prebiotic and probiotic supplements?
Probiotics are live bacteria, while prebiotics are fibres like fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) that occur naturally in yacon, and feed the probiotics.
Probiotics are external bacteria, we can add different strains according to different body constitutions and needs, Bifidobacterium have significant effects for supporting gastrointestinal health. Prebiotics enter the gastrointestinal tract undigested and promote the absorption of nutrients by feeding probiotics such as Bifidobacterium.
The human immune system may not recognize externally ingested bacteria from supplements and respond negatively to protect its self. These bacteria may also be killed by gastric acid.
What is the difference between NZFOS+ and enzymes?

If you supplement enzymes often, it may change the structure of your own enzymes, which will affect your health. Most enzymes on the market now contain probiotics, but contain less prebiotics and are not natural.

Flavonoids, also known as bioflavonoids, are a group of phytochemicals found in various fruits, vegetables, and plants. They offer several potential benefits:

- Immune Support: Certain flavonoids can support immune system function.
- Vascular Health: Research suggests that flavonoids can support vascular health, potentially supporting normal blood pressure and blood circulation.
- Cell Growth and Repair: Flavonoids may support tissue and cell growth and repair.
