Inulin, also known as inulin, scientific name fructans, inulin polysaccharide. It is a fructan mixture polymerized by 2-60 fructose molecules. Oligofructose is the most excellent representative of prebiotics, which can be fermented and absorbed by probiotic bacteria after entering human colon, and proliferate probiotic bacteria 8-10 times, and regulate human intestinal flora through probiotic bacteria.
As the best water-soluble dietary fiber and natural prebiotic food, inulin has been recognized as a food supplement in more than 40 countries and is widely used in food and health care products. The U.S. FDA recognizes inulin as a recognized safe food, Japan's Ministry of Health and Welfare approves 569 kinds of specific health food products, more than 42% of the products with prebiotic substances, recognized as "special health food", and the European Union puts forward a prebiotic development plan for the whole of Europe, in order to improve the health of the digestive system, strengthen the ability of defense, and until the lowering of The European Union has proposed a European-wide development program for prebiotics to improve digestive health, strengthen defenses, and reduce the risk of many of the diseases of modern civilization caused by eating disorders.

The source of inulin
Inulin is widely distributed in nature, some fungi and bacteria also contain inulin, but its main source is plants. Plants that people eat everyday such as: onions, garlic, bananas, wheat, etc. all contain inulin. However, inulin mainly exists in nature in plants of the Asteraceae family. The content of inulin is 14%-19% in inulin (commonly known as ginger, the main raw material of domestic inulin), and the content of inulin in chicory (the main raw material of European inulin) is 15%-20%. The content of inulin in several common edible plants is shown in

Inulin is suitable for people
1. Young people
Young people who sit still for a long time and lack of exercise are very prone to office syndrome, insomnia, constipation, not thinking about eating and drinking, facial acne, pigmentation, dark skin, and even obesity, etc. Inulin can relieve constipation, regulate the function of the intestinal tract, detoxify the skin, control body weight, and improve the above symptoms. It is also a good way to control weight and improve the above symptoms.
2. Sub-healthy people
Middle-aged people are often in a sub-healthy state because of high work pressure, irrational diet structure, lack of exercise, and much socializing, leading to gastrointestinal dysfunction, and inulin is effective in improving the above symptoms.
3, obese people
Inulin absorbs water in the stomach and swells to form a high-viscosity colloid, which makes it difficult for people to feel hungry and prolongs the emptying time of the stomach, thus reducing the amount of food intake and decreasing the residence time of food in the small intestine. Inulin can adsorb fat in the intestines, in the small intestine and protein, fat and other substances to form a complex, with the fecal discharge, reduce fat, absorption and achieve the purpose of weight loss.
4, the elderly
The elderly is a high incidence of intestinal cancer, there are different degrees of "three highs". In addition, the old people's ability to absorb calcium decreases, resulting in osteoporosis, inulin can prevent colon cancer, intestinal cancer, effective relief of constipation, regulating blood sugar, blood lipids, improve calcium and other minerals absorption, to prevent calcium loss, especially suitable for the elderly.
5, the use of antibiotics crowd
Antibiotics in the killing of pathogenic bacteria at the same time will kill the intestinal beneficial bacteria, so that the intestinal beneficial flora imbalance, inulin so that the intestinal bifidobacteria, such as beneficial bacteria multiply, prevention and treatment of dysbiosis, to maintain the balance of the human bacterial flora.
Inulin taking cycle and effect
3 days Intestine cleansing period: abdominal gas and bloating, increased exhaust, mild diarrhea.
3-7 days Bi-directional regulation period: bowel movement tends to be normal, constipation and diarrhea gradually disappear.
7-21 days Enhancement period: abdominal relief, children's energy concentration, sleep stability, resistance to increase.
21-30 days Unit adjustment cycle: normal intestinal function, bowel movements, light and healthy.
30-60 days Functional manifestation period: blood sugar and blood pressure decrease, women's skin has a glossy finish and increased elasticity.
60-90 days Functional moderate manifestation period: women's waistline and men's beer belly decrease.
90-150 days Functional depth of manifestation period: some patients with liver disease metabolic function adjustment effect is obvious.
The Four Advantages of New Sugar Source Inulin
① Pure natural? No additives? Green and safe
100% purified from inulin, strictly in accordance with the green food planting conditions, without adding harmful pesticides, fertilizers, is the real green and natural inulin.
② Physical extraction of higher purity
The use of a complete set of Belgium imported inulin purification production line, the use of advanced technology extraction, compared with about 70% of the domestic purity, the set of production lines can be realized inulin purification of more than 92%, is a rare high purity inulin in the country.
③Zero fat? Low calorie? High Dietary Fiber
New Sugar Source Inulin is 100% inulin extracted without adding other impurities, which has the characteristics of zero fat, low calorie and high dietary fiber.
④Water soluble? Easy to absorb
This product is water-soluble dietary fiber with excellent water solubility, which is more conducive to human absorption.
