Lnulin Benefits

It keeps you full of fiber

Fiber is any type of carbohydrate the body can’t digest. It moves through the intestines intact and continues into the colon to serve as food for the bacteria there. Fiber has no caloric value, but it’s essential to good health.

The fiber in inulin is soluble, which means it dissolves in water. It dissolves in the stomach and then forms a gelatinous substance that:

* slows digestion
*increases fullness
*removes cholesterol as it passes through the digestive tract

It promotes digestive health

Your gut contains between 15,000 and 36,000 species of bacteria. Only a small portion of the bacteria in the body has the potential to be harmful. Good bacteria provide many health benefits. Inulin stimulates these bacteria to grow.

Inulin aids digestion by increasing the number of good bacteria in the gut, particularly Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli. These bacteria help:

*fend off unwanted pathogens (bad bacteria)
*prevent infection
*stimulate your immune system

It controls blood sugar

Inulin slows digestion, including the digestion of carbohydrates. This allows sugar to be released slowly without spiking, which promotes healthy blood sugar levels.
