Regulates intestinal microflora, improves intestinal health, and prevents constipation. Inulin is a natural water-soluble dietary fiber that can hardly be hydrolyzed and digested by gastric acid, and is only utilized by beneficial microorganisms in the colon, thus improving the intestinal environment.

Some researches show that the degree of proliferation of bifidobacteria depends on the number of initial bifidobacteria in human colon, when the number of initial bifidobacteria decreases, the effect of proliferation is obvious after the use of inulin;

When the number of initial bifidobacteria is high, the effect is not obvious after the use of inulin, and then after the intake of inulin, it can enhance peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract and improve the function of the intestines and stomach, increase digestion and appetite, and improve the immunity of the body.

Expanded Information:

Inulin is widely distributed in nature, and certain fungi and bacteria also contain inulin. Inulin is also found in certain fungi and bacteria, but its main source is plants. Plants that people eat every day, such as onions, garlic, bananas, and wheat, all contain inulin.

However, inulin in nature mainly exists in plants of the family of Asteraceae, with the content of inulin (commonly known as ginger, the main raw material of domestic inulin) at 15%-20% and chicory (the main raw material of European inulin) at 13%-20%.
