Inulin has a pleasant flavor that adds a mild sweetness to foods and drinks, but has a very low glycemic index and will not negatively impact serum glucose levels.

Inulin, a fructooligosaccharide (FOS), is a soluble prebiotic fiber that is resistant to digestion and reaches the large intestine essentially intact. Intestinal probiotic bacteria consume Inulin and in turn, produce the short-chain fatty acids that nourish the cells lining the colon. Inulin thus helps to maintain intestinal health and function. 

Now Foods Organic Inulin powder is a prebiotic, or food source, that helps stimulate the growth of friendly and healthy intestinal bacteria that support good colon health. A water-soluble dietary fiber, Inulin is also a fructooligosaccharide (FOS), which are increasing in popularity as a prebiotic fiber that may have helpful intestinal benefits.

We cannot digest prebiotics, which act as food for probiotics, or good bacteria in our intestines. Combining probiotics and prebiotics forms a symbiotic, such as yogurt, which contain live bacteria and the fuel they need to thrive.

Prebiotics are stable and remain active after cooking, so it is easy to add them to your diet. And Fructooligosaccharide, such as inulin, can also be used as an alternative sweetener. As it has a very low glycemic index, it is suitable for many people who are on restricted diets. So you can add it to your favorite beverage or food. Its taste is comparable to sugar and can be used as a sugar replacement.

And probiotics, or the good bacteria in our body, may help with

• Diarrhea
• Vaginal yeast infections
• Urinary tract infections
• Irritable bowel syndrome
• Intestinal infections
• Eczema in children
• Colds and flu
