KiOtransine is a prebiotic fiber that restores intestinal microbiota, supports digestive health and improves transit. This insoluble fiber is slowly fermented all the way along the colon, producing short-chain fatty acids, butyrate and propionate, with a low level of gas.

It also helps to support the body’s natural antioxidant systems and reduces oxidized LDL-cholesterol levels.

KiOtransine is used within BiOkuris’ technology platform, where it supports the development of medical nutrition products aimed at addressing chronic intestinal diseases.

KiOtransine is also used in products like Gastrap Direct and is available for co-development with partners.
