Gut Health, Prebiotics & Probiotics

By stimulating the growth of friendly gut bacteria. These are bacteria that are beneficial to gut health, such as Lactobacillus sp., Bifidobacteria sp. and Lactococcus sp. Prebiotics are one of the most sought-after supplements because they play an important role in supporting gut microflora. They nourish the good bacteria whereas the harmful bacteria are made to starve and perish eventually.

Inulins without glucose are beta-D-fructopyranosyl-[D-fructofuranosyl](n-1)-D-fructofuranosides, abbreviated as FpyFn. Barclay, Thomas, et al.

PMID 8481000.Inulin powders are vegan and vegetarian-friendly and also suitable for those following a gluten-free diet As they are derived from plant sources, the users needn’t worry about anything synthetic in them. Besides, the supplement helps in body weight management and also balances blood sugar levels other than enhancing mental clarity and brain function. Roberfroid M. B. (2007). "Inulin-type fructans: functional food ingredients". Journal of Nutrition. 137 (11 suppl): 2493S–2502S. doi: 10.1093/jn/137.11.2493S. PMID 17951492. Inulin is a heterogeneous collection of fructose polymers. It consists of chain-terminating glucosyl moieties and a repetitive fructosyl moiety, [13] which are linked by β(2,1) bonds. The degree of polymerization (DP) of standard inulin ranges from 2 to 60. After removing the fractions with DP lower than 10 during manufacturing process, the remaining product is high-performance inulin. [5] [6] Some articles considered the fractions with DP lower than 10 as short-chained fructo-oligosaccharides, and only called the longer-chained molecules inulin. [7] Hsu, C. Y.; Bansal, N. (August 2011). "Measured GFR as 'gold standard'—all that glitters is not gold?". Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. 6 (8): 1813–1814. doi: 10.2215/cjn.06040611. PMID 21784836.

Researchers who looked at data from a range of clinical trials found that inulin can have a positive effect on stool frequency and consistency. 3,4In one study of people with low stool frequency, 10g per day of native chicory inulin increased stool frequency. 5 Mild side effects which are abdominal cramps or bloating can be there initially and will subside in due course of time. Consult your healthcare expert if the symptoms linger around for more than a week or so.

Does inulin make you poop?

Another action of this prebiotic supplement is that it can combat the deleterious effects of dietary lectins thereby keeping our gut in a healthy state. Jamie Morea, the co-founder of Hyperbiotics and a gut health evangelist is a staunch believer of the principle of -” All health begins in the gut”. If you've not taken inulin before then we recommend starting gradually with 1/4 tsp for 4 days, and increasing by 1/4 tsp every 4 days, until you'retaking the recommend amount, or the amount you're comfortable with.This gives your digestive system time to get used to the extra soluble fibre. Because normal digestion does not break inulin down into monosaccharides, it does not elevate blood sugar levels and may, therefore, be helpful in the management of diabetes. Inulin also stimulates the growth of bacteria in the gut. [5] The side effects of inulin dietary fiber diet, which may occur, usually in sensitive persons, are: [32]
