Is this product made from Inulin?

It says it contains fructooligosaccharides, also called FOS. According to the wikipedia article on prebiotics, FOS is a short-chain prebiotic (2-8 links per saccharide molecule). Inulin is a longer-chain prebiotic (9-64 links per saccharide molecule). So, no, it is not made from inulin. If you are looking for a good pre-biotic, I would suggest Heather's Tummy Fibre. It is Acacia Senegal and contains about 85% prebiotic fiber, by weight.

Is this FOS made in USA or China?

The raw materials come from Canada. The final product is manufactured/packaged in the U.S.

How many billions of bacteria and how many strains this product contains? There is no info on the label. Thank you

This is NOT a prObiotic...it is a prEbiotic -- the difference is the one with the 'E' is the food for gut bacteria....notice the 'PRE' part -- as in, 'before biotics'...and 'biotics' are what bacteria are. So this is something you give your body to feed the bacteria you introduce, and the bacteria are the 'PRO'...food for the bacteria are the 'PRE'........you never see a prebiotic product that is ONLY prebiotics advertised as being a bacteria strain. So get it right; this is not a bacteria-containing product. And it never will be, because that is not what a prebiotic is. Asking if a prebiotic powder contains bacteria is like asking an apple why it is not a steak. It just is not the same thing, as that would be physically impossible. They are two entirely different things. All prebiotics are only food FOR probiotics. Because that is what a prebiotic is. It is not a probiotic.

Does this contain oligofructose?

this is as the label states fructooligosaccharides which is often referred to as oligofructose -- if you're looking for technical aspects, from what I have read the difference is in how the molecule is terminated -- FOS apparently always terminates with a glucose whereas OF is more often only fructose but can have glucose terminals.

Helps with CONSTIPATION

I have not only irritable bowel syndrome but I now have ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s. Regularity has always been a problem. Having discovered FOS I am thrilled. 1/2 to a level teaspoon mixed in a small amount of water approximately a few ounces taken at night along with some magnesium and slippery elm helps immensely. I noticed quite a bit of difference when I forget to take it at night or even in the daytime. Now I won’t be without it!!

The gut and brain connection

Recent clinical trials have shown an improvement in memory with daily intake of inulin and fructooligosaccharides. It's too soon for me to know how well it is working, but I’m all in. There are other benefits as well that you can find online.

as expected

Have been using it to make Dr. Davis' Clove Green Tea for added gut health benefits. We use 1/4 tsp per cup. No taste no ill effects.
