Patient's question:
My child is 7 years old this year and has a history of constipation for several years. This year, they were prescribed a lot of Despup Water Sugarcane Juice at Beijing Children's Hospital. They have consumed several boxes, and there haven't been any side effects. I would like to ask if there will be any adverse reactions if taken for a long time?Doctor's answer:
Hello, soybean oligosaccharides do not cause weight gain; they are more like a sweetener. This is because over 20% of the components in soybean oligosaccharides are raffinose and stachyose, which are functional oligosaccharides that cannot be digested by the human body. Their caloric content is only about half that of ordinary sugars.Soybean oligosaccharides not only help prevent weight gain but also improve intestinal function, promote bowel movement, protect the liver, and help clear blood cholesterol, among other health benefits. They can also aid in weight loss.
