Inulin

Inulin is a polysaccharide built from fructose. Scientific studies have shown that insulin has the ability multiply the creation of bifidus bacteria that are essential for our immune system.

Inulin binds cholesterol and triglycerides, phospholipids and free fatty acids. Since bifidus bacteria help the breakdown and absorption of nutrients, their presence has extremely positive effects. Inulin is a dietary ingredient that selectively stimulates the growth of certain species of intestinal flora (including bifidusz and lactobacilli) and increases metabolic activity health in the body. The prebiotics (inulin) are the sole source of food for probiotics and facilitate their multiplication and domination in numbers.

MORE DETAILS ABOUT INULIN

Inulin is a liquid herbal dietary fiber found in the fructooligsaccharide content of fruit and vegetables.

Is an advanced carbohydrate compound, a type of prebiotic, which means that it increases the activity of live cultures, and helps prevent the overpopulation of harmful bacteria in the digestive system. Is a water soluble large fiber, which means it remains intact in the digestive tract (neither the mouth nor digestive system have enzymes that can break it down) thus feeding useful bacteria. Over the past few years, the term “functional food” has become a new concept of nutrition. Functional foods are foods that the human incidence the relocation of the intestinal micro-environment and thus have a positive effect on health. They also reduce the risk of development certain diseases.

This group includes:

  • Probiotics
  • Prebiotics
  • Symbiotics

Probiotics are live microorganisms, which enter the intestines with food and help maintain permanent flora content. The intestinal flora plays an important function in digestion, cholesterol metabolism and prevents disease-causing bacteria from settling in the body. Only micro-organisms that have been proven to beneficial to health are called probiotics. They have to resistant to manufacturing procedures and digestive fluids because only live micro-organisms can be beneficial in the large intestines. (Found in dairy products)

Prebiotics are substances that are resistant to digestive enzymes and thus reach the colon unchanged, where they stimulate the reproduction of beneficial bacteria found in intestinal flora. They enhance the growth of probiotics, and simultaneously inhibit the attachment of harmful bacteria in the gut. They facilitate the absorption of certain minerals. (Their main sources are of Jerusalem artichokes and chicory roots, from which inulin is also obtained) Symbiotic means the combination of pre-and probiotics in a way where the two positive factors work in symbiosis to fulfill their duties.
