One kilogram is also one thousand grams, or 1000 grams, or approximately 2.205 pounds, or approximately 35.274 ounces by weight.

This product dissolves quickly in water and has sweet taste, like sugar (sucrose), but only about half the sweetness. Just mix your usual dose with water, a hot beverage, or juice and drink.

Fructo Oligosaccharide (Fructooligosaccharide, or FOS) are short-chain polysaccharides conprised of D-Fructose and D-Glucose and are a naturally sweet mostly non-digestible and low-caloric fiber. FOS is sometimes blended with high-intensity artificial or natural sweeteners, such as Stevia P.E., thereby imporving the overall sweetness profile, perception, and tending to reduce many unpleasant aftertastes. As a prebiotic, FOS serves as a substrate for many beneficial bacteria species in the large intestine and helps to improve overall gastrointestianal tract function and health. FOS is also frequently taken as a supplement to combat yeast infections. As a sweetener, FOS is about half as sweet as sucrose and with less than 1 calorie ber gram (about 2.5 calories per level teaspoon). As a prebiotic FOS can selectively promote the proliferation of many intestinal probiotics including bifidobacteria.
