What is Inulin?
Inulin is a natural form of carbohydrate (fructooligosaccharide, FOS), found in over 36,000 plants worldwide. Inulin is used, among other things, as a substitute for sugar and fat in various products. Smaller amounts also improve the taste and consistency of food products. This makes inulin a very effective ability in diets that are low in fat or sugar.
Some good reasons to use Inulin
- Bifidogenic, stimulates the natural Bifidus flora, a health bacterium for the stomach and intestines.
- Strengthens the immune system.
- May be helpful during diet.
- Can improve the absorption of minerals.
- Keeps blood cholesterol levels low.
- Has very little or no effect at all on blood sugar and insulin levels (glycemic index = 0).
