A pleasant form of administration

Fohow Meigui is a prebiotic supplement available in paste form — a deliberate choice that brings real advantages over other forms of administration, such as conventional capsules or powders.

High versatility

It can be consumed directly from a spoon, dissolved in tea or warm water, or spread on bread — naturally integrated into the daily morning routine.

Gradual and comfortable absorption

The paste form allows a slow release of prebiotics in the digestive tract, without discomfort or sudden fermentation.

Naturally pleasant taste

The rosehip petal extract gives the formula a floral and slightly sweet note, making daily consumption an enjoyable experience.

Ideal for individuals who avoid capsules

No gelatin, no swallowing — suitable for individuals with difficulties in taking solid forms.

Traditional Chinese medicine perspective

The name Fohow Meigui is not coincidental. It refers to the rose family, of which rosehip (Rosa Canina) is also a member. Its flowers and fruits are mentioned in classical Chinese texts as remedies for harmonizing Qi, tonifying the blood and supporting digestion.

Rosehip petals are used in Chinese medicinal practice for their properties of regulating Qi flow in the meridians of the Liver and Spleen — the organs responsible in TCM for digestion, metabolism and emotional balance. The aqueous extract from rosehip petals brings unique bioactive compounds to the formula, with complementary action to the prebiotics.

Balancing Liver Qi

Rosehip petals are included as remedies that "move stagnant Liver Qi", contributing to the reduction of emotional tension, irritability and abdominal distension caused by stress.

Harmonizing the Stomach and Spleen

Tone "sweet–slightly bitter, slightly warm". Enters the meridians of the Liver and Spleen. Traditionally used for dyspepsia, bloating and slow digestion — symptoms of a weakened Spleen Qi.

Tonifying the blood (Xue)

In TCM, rose petals are associated with nourishing and activating the blood — useful for fatigue, pale complexion, cold extremities and mild menstrual imbalances.

Synergy with prebiotics

Prebiotics (FOS, XOS, Stachyose) support the function of the Spleen — the organ of transformation and transportation of nutrients — perfectly complementing the action of the rosehip flower.

Natural Vitamin C and Defensive Qi (Wei Qi)

The high vitamin C content of Rosa Canina supports Wei Qi — the body's energetic shield against external pathogenic factors, the equivalent of innate immunity in TCM.

Health benefits

Fohow Meigui combines three types of complementary prebiotics with rosehip petal extract — a synergistic formula that acts on multiple systems of the body, with the intestinal microbiome as the central pivot of general health.

Microbiome, digestion and intestinal health

Nourishing the beneficial bacteria in the gut

FOS, XOS and Stachyose are selective prebiotics — they are not digested by humans, but fermented by beneficial bacteria (Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus). This fermentation produces short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) essential for the health of the intestinal mucosa.

Intestinal regularity and balanced transit

Prebiotics increase microbial biomass and stool volume, stimulating natural intestinal peristalsis. Regular consumption of FOS is associated with reducing constipation and normalizing the frequency of digestive transit without sudden laxative effects.

Strengthened intestinal barrier

The short-chain fatty acids produced through FOS fermentation (especially butyrate) nourish enterocytes — the cells of the intestinal mucosa — strengthening the intestinal barrier and reducing increased intestinal permeability (leaky gut syndrome).

Intestinal microbiome balance

The triple combination FOS + XOS + Stachyose provides substrates for different species of beneficial bacteria, ensuring greater microbial diversity — a key factor for microbiome resilience against antibiotics, stress and an unbalanced diet.

The gut-brain axis

A balanced microbiome supported by prebiotics directly influences the production of serotonin (90% produced in the gut), GABA and other neurotransmitters — with proven positive effects on mood, anxious states and sleep quality.

Reduction of pathogenic bacteria

By stimulating the growth of beneficial bacteria, prebiotics indirectly reduce colonization by pathogenic bacteria (Clostridium, pathogenic E. coli, Salmonella) through competition for resources and the production of bacteriocins and organic acids with antimicrobial effects.

Immunity and natural defense

Stimulation of immunity through the microbiome

70–80% of immune cells are located in the digestive tract. Prebiotics, by balancing the microbiome, indirectly activate dendritic cells, macrophages and intestinal lymphocytes (GALT — gut-associated lymphoid tissue), consolidating systemic immunity.

Natural vitamin C from rosehip

Rosa Canina is one of the richest natural sources of vitamin C. The vitamin C from rosehip petal extract supports immune function, collagen production and cellular antioxidant protection.

Polyphenols from rosehip — natural antioxidants

The extract from Rosa Canina petals contains quercetin, kaempferol, rutin, catechins and phenolic acids with powerful antioxidant activity, neutralizing free radicals and reducing systemic oxidative stress.

Reduction of systemic inflammation

The butyrate produced through FOS fermentation has anti-inflammatory effects, and the polyphenols from rosehip complement this action at a systemic level, potentially reducing chronic inflammation.

Metabolism, glicemie și greutate corporală

Regulation of postprandial blood sugar

FOS reduces the rate of intestinal glucose absorption, attenuating post-meal blood sugar spikes. Clinical studies have demonstrated that FOS supplementation improves insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis.

Supporting healthy body weight

Prebiotics increase the production of intestinal peptides (GLP-1, PYY) that reduce appetite and increase the feeling of satiety.

Balanced lipid profile

The fermentation of FOS and XOS produces propionate — a short-chain fatty acid that inhibits hepatic lipogenesis and reduces LDL cholesterol synthesis. Regular consumption is potentially associated with a reduction in triglycerides and an improvement in the HDL/LDL ratio.

Optimized mineral absorption

FOS significantly improves intestinal absorption of calcium, magnesium and iron through acidification of the intestinal environment and increased absorption surface area. Essential for bone health, muscle function and against anemia.

Skin, hair and beauty from within

Collagen synthesis supported by vitamin C

Natural vitamin C from Rosa Canina petal extract is an essential cofactor for collagen synthesis — the structural protein of the skin, joints and blood vessels. An optimal intake of natural vitamin C maintains skin elasticity and firmness.

Skin health through the gut-skin axis

A balanced intestinal microbiome directly influences skin health through the gut-skin axis: it reduces systemic inflammation responsible for acne, eczema and rosacea, and improves hydration and the natural skin barrier.

Carotenoids from rosehip — antioxidants for the skin

Rosa Canina petals contain beta-carotene, lycopene and lutein — carotenoids with powerful cutaneous antioxidant effects, which protect the skin against photo-aging and UV radiation, contributing to an even and radiant complexion.

Eye and vision health

Lutein and zeaxanthin from rosehip petal extract protect the eyes from oxidative stress often responsible for macular degeneration — a benefit usually overlooked of regular consumption of Rosa Canina extract.

Brain, nervous system and emotional balance

Cognitive health through the microbiome

Recent studies show that prebiotics improve cognitive function, memory and concentration through modulation of the gut-brain axis. A balanced microbiome reduces neuroinflammation and supports the production of neurotrophic factors (BDNF).

Emotional balance and reduction of anxious states

The fermentation of prebiotics increases the production of intestinal serotonin and GABA, neurotransmitters with a direct role in regulating mood and stress resistance. The "psychobiotic" effect of prebiotics is confirmed by multiple clinical studies.

Sleep quality

Serotonin produced at the intestinal level is the precursor of melatonin — the sleep hormone. A microbiome balanced through regular prebiotic intake contributes to optimal melatonin production and more restful and regular sleep.

Stress and fatigue resistance

The flavonoids in rosehip extract (quercetin, rutin) have mild adaptogenic properties, reducing the response to cerebral oxidative stress. Combined with the psychobiotic effect of FOS, they contribute to better resistance to daily physical and mental demands.

Oase, articulații și funcție musculară

Bone health — calcium and vitamin C

FOS improves intestinal calcium absorption. Combined with vitamin C from rosehip — essential for bone collagen synthesis — the Meigui formula supports bone density and strength in the long term.

Joint health

Rosa Canina extract contains galactolipids (especially GOPO) with clinically documented anti-inflammatory properties at the joint level. Studies have demonstrated a reduction in joint pain and improvement in mobility in individuals with osteoarthritis who consume rosehip extract.

Supported muscle function

Magnesium absorbed more efficiently through the action of FOS supports normal muscle contraction, nerve transmission and muscle protein synthesis. Essential for athletes, active individuals and those with frequent cramps or muscle spasms.

Cardiovascular health

Propionate produced from XOS fermentation inhibits hepatic cholesterol synthesis, reducing LDL cholesterol. Vitamin C from rosehip supports vascular integrity through the synthesis of collagen in vessel walls, improving arterial stiffening.

Active ingredients


Fructooligosaccharides (FOS)

FOS are fermentable soluble fibers. With a concentration of 83%, they represent the prebiotic base of the Meigui formula. They are a selective substrate for Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus — the most beneficial bacterial genera in the human intestinal microbiome. Their fermentation produces butyrate, propionate and acetate (SCFA) with demonstrated cardiovascular, metabolic, immune and neurological effects. FOS have a naturally slightly sweet taste, contributing to the palatability of the paste formula.

The Fohow Meigui product contains no added sugar. The sweet taste comes from its ingredients, such as fructooligosaccharides and rosehip flower extract, which have a naturally sweet flavor.

Xylooligosaccharides (XOS)

XOS are prebiotics derived from plant fibers and have remarkable selectivity for Bifidobacterium. XOS are thermally stable (they can be added to warm tea without degradation), have a neutral taste and synergize strongly with FOS, amplifying the prebiotic effects of the formula. Clinical studies show that XOS reduce constipation, lower intestinal inflammatory markers and improve the microbial profile.

The combination of fructooligosaccharides with xylooligosaccharides provides complex prebiotic coverage.

Stachyose

Stachyose is a natural prebiotic tetrasaccharide, with complementary action to FOS and XOS, stimulating in particular species of Bifidobacterium longum and B. bifidum — species associated with robust immunity, metabolic health and protection against infections.

Stachyose adds diversity to the fermentable substrate of the formula, contributing to a greater variety of beneficial bacterial species supported by Meigui.

Aqueous extract from Rosehip petals — Rosa Canina

Rosa Canina (wild rosehip) is one of the European and East Asian medicinal plants with a rich biochemical profile. Its petals contain natural vitamin C (10–40× more than citrus fruits), flavonoids (quercetin, kaempferol, rutin, hypericin), carotenoids (beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein), tannins, pectins, organic acids and volatile oils.

The aqueous extract from the petals is the ideal form for preserving active hydrophilic compounds — vitamins, flavonoids and polar antioxidants.

It adds a unique antioxidant and anti-inflammatory profile to the formula, complementary to the prebiotic action of FOS, XOS and Stachyose.

Frequently asked questions


What are prebiotics and why are they different from probiotics?

Probiotics are live beneficial bacteria that we ingest directly (yogurt, kefir, Lactobacillus capsules). Prebiotics — such as FOS, XOS and Stachyose in Fohow Meigui — are indigestible fibers that nourish the beneficial bacteria already existing in the gut. The classic analogy: if probiotics are the "seeds", prebiotics are the "fertilizer". Prebiotics are more stable (they are not live bacteria), do not require refrigeration and act more selectively, stimulating the growth of each person's own beneficial bacteria.

Why does the formula contain three different prebiotics — FOS, XOS and Stachyose?

Each prebiotic stimulates slightly different bacterial species and acts in different areas of the large intestine. FOS provides the main substrate, with broad action on Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus. XOS has high selectivity for Bifidobacterium, covering the colon more uniformly. Stachyose supports specific species (B. longum, B. bifidum) associated with robust immunity. Together, the three prebiotics ensure greater microbial diversity — an essential factor for a resilient and healthy microbiome.

Can it be added to warm tea without losing its effectiveness?

Yes — XOS is remarkably thermally stable, maintaining its prebiotic properties even at high temperatures. FOS and Stachyose are also stable at moderate temperatures (below 80°C). Dissolving the paste in warm tea or warm water does not significantly degrade the active compounds. Avoid intense boiling temperatures (above 90°C) to fully preserve the flavonoids and vitamin C from the rosehip petal extract.

Can it cause bloating or digestive discomfort?

In some individuals, during the first few days of administration, prebiotics may cause a slight increase in intestinal gas or a feeling of bloating — a completely normal effect, indicating active fermentation by beneficial bacteria. These symptoms usually disappear within 5–10 days as the microbiome adapts. To minimize them, we recommend starting with 1 spoonful/day and gradually increasing to the recommended dose of 2–3 spoonfuls/day over the course of the first week.

What specific benefits does the rosehip petal extract bring?

The aqueous extract from Rosa Canina petals brings to the formula natural vitamin C, antioxidant flavonoids (quercetin, kaempferol, rutin), carotenoids (beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein) and galactolipids with documented joint anti-inflammatory effects. It contributes to collagen synthesis, skin health, eye protection, immune function and reduction of joint inflammation — a complementary and synergistic profile of benefits with the prebiotic action of the formula.

Can it help restore intestinal flora after antibiotics?

Yes — this is one of the most well-documented benefits of prebiotics. Antibiotics indiscriminately eliminate both pathogenic and beneficial bacteria. Administering prebiotics after an antibiotic course selectively nourishes the surviving beneficial bacteria, accelerating the restoration of microbial diversity.

Does it have an effect on blood sugar? Is it suitable for diabetic individuals?

FOS reduces the rate of intestinal glucose absorption and improves insulin sensitivity, contributing to the attenuation of postprandial blood sugar spikes. Individuals with diabetes or prediabetes may benefit from these effects, however they must consult a doctor before use and monitor their blood sugar, as the additive effect with hypoglycemic medications may require dose adjustments. Worth noting: FOS has a very low glycemic index (approximately 0–1) — it does not raise blood sugar.

How long should it be administered to observe results?

Prebiotic effects are cumulative. The first improvements in intestinal transit and digestive comfort can be observed after 1–2 weeks. We recommend continuous courses of a minimum of 2–3 months for sustained long-term benefits.

What does "Meigui" mean and what is its connection to traditional Chinese medicine?

"Meigui" (玫瑰) means "rose" in Chinese. The rose holds a special place in traditional Chinese medicine: the petals are used for regulating Liver Qi, harmonizing digestion, tonifying the blood and reducing emotional tension. Rosa Canina (rosehip) is related to Rosa rugosa — the principal medicinal rose in TCM — and shares similar properties. The product name reflects this East Asian tradition of associating the rose with digestive health, emotional balance and inner beauty — a philosophy of complete health, not merely symptomatic.
