Inulin (Plant-based Prebiotic)

Plant Phytonutrients

Carbohydrate composed of one glucose residue and 2–60 fructose residues linked via β-(2,1) glycosidic bonds

Benefits

Aids digestion by increasing the number of good bacteria in the gut, particularly Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli, which helps fend off unwanted pathogens (bad bacteria), prevents infection and stimulates the immune system.
Slows digestion, including the digestion of carbohydrates, which allows sugar to be released slowly without spiking, which promotes healthy blood sugar levels.
