Inulin is a 100% natural fruit and vegetable fiber found in common foods like artichokes, asparagus, garlic and raisins.
Inulin has many health promoting benefits – it is a prebiotic fiber, meaning that it is food for the "good" bacteria (bifidobacteria and lactobacilli) that live in the colon, and may help improve digestive health. These bacteria grow and produce fermentation products that may also help support a healthy immune system, modulate glucose and lipid metabolism in the liver, help improve calcium absorption, and help keep the colon functioning properly for recycling of water and electrolytes. Inulin is a
soluble fiber (like that found in oats, peas and apples) which means it dissolves easily in water and may improve regularity. Soluble fiber can also help reduce cholesterol and glucose levels.
