Product Review

Inulin is a soluble fiber often referred to as a fructooligosaccharide (FOS). This type of indigestible fiber attracts water and creates a gel-like substance in the digestive tract, a property which slows the rate of digestion, making you feel full longer.* Inulin has a slight, naturally sweet flavor, but is low on the glycemic index, which is helpful to those battling Candida overgrowth.* Inulin in supplement form can play a very important role in intestinal microflora. Inulin is a prebiotic. Prebiotics are not living organisms like probiotics; rather prebiotics are a nutritional source to feed and stimulate probiotic (good bacteria) activity. The good bacteria in the gut helps to control populations of potentially harmful organisms, like illness-causing, bad bacteria strains and Candida, in the digestive tract. Health problems can occur when populations of bad microorganisms outnumber the good.* Prebiotic fibers like inulin also support nutrient absorption during the digestion process.*
