Organic Inulin Powder

Functions

• Promote Intestinal Health
  • Prebiotic Effect: Inulin is a kind of prebiotic, which can selectively promote the growth and reproduction of beneficial bacteria in the intestine, such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. It helps to improve the balance of intestinal flora and enhance the function of the intestinal barrier.
  • Improve Digestion and Absorption: By promoting intestinal peristalsis, inulin can speed up the passage of food through the digestive tract, thus improving digestion and absorption efficiency and helping to prevent problems such as constipation.
• Regulate Blood Sugar and Lipid Levels
  • Blood Sugar Regulation: Inulin can slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, thereby preventing rapid spikes in blood sugar levels after meals. It is beneficial for people with diabetes or those at risk of diabetes to control their blood sugar.
  • Blood Lipid Regulation: It can reduce the absorption of lipids in the intestine, promote the excretion of cholesterol, and help lower blood lipid levels, especially triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, thus contributing to cardiovascular health.
• Enhance Immune Function
  • Stimulate Immune Cells: Inulin can stimulate the activity of immune cells such as macrophages and lymphocytes in the body, enhancing the body's immune response and its ability to resist pathogens.
• Nutritional Supplement
  • Low-Calorie Energy Source: Although inulin is a carbohydrate, it provides very few calories because it is not easily digested and absorbed by the human body. It can be used as a low-calorie energy source to replace some high-calorie carbohydrates in the diet.
