Super Ingredients Made Simple Prebiotic Sweetener 100% Pure Dietary Supplement Powerful Prebiotic Low Glycemic Index Supports Weight Loss Non-GMO Project Verified Gluten-Free USDA Certified Kosher The Apple of the Earth Who says eating healthy can't be delightful? The yacon root offers a low glycemic index, low calories, and active weight-loss benefits. Its secret lies in a hard-to-pronounce ingredient called fructooligosaccharide (FOS). As a powerful prebiotic, FOS reaches the colon unmetabolized and nourishes the good bacteria in your system. In turn, a healthy gut microbiome has profound benefits on your health, waistline and emotional wellbeing. The Zint Difference: The sunny yellow flowers of our yacon plants can be found blooming in ideal conditions on family-owned farms on the northern coast of Peru. Once pressed, the fresh juice is heat-reduced to a dark, nutrient-rich, honey-like syrup that concentrates yacon's many health benefits.
