Characterization of the active compounds
Oliglow® is a food-based ingredient concentrated to 70% galactooligosaccharides (GOS), including 9% 4’-galactosyllactose (GL), a specific prebiotic originally isolated from mother’s milk. These soluble short-chain fibers are non-digestible and ferment in the intestine, where they contribute to a regulation of the local microflora for a healthier microbiome.
ACTIVE COMPOUNDS

Gut-skin axis: it all starts from microbiome
Oliglow® has demonstrated its benefits in rebalancing the ratio of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria of the gut microflora, leading to lower inflammation and oxidative stress, both of which are damaging to skin health.

The benefits of Oliglow® on skin health have been demonstrated in a clinical study compliant with the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH).
