Inulin – Prebiotic
Promotes digestive health by enriching the fibre content of food. Moreover, it has a prebiotic effect, stimulating the production of beneficial bacteria in the colon. Because inulin has a low caloric value and promotes satiety, it can make a significant contribution to weight management. It even stimulates calcium absorption, resulting in improved bone health.

FAQ
What is Inulin (Prebiotic)?
Inulin is an indigestible carbohydrate, a polysaccharide made of 20 to several thousands fructose molecules with a glucose molecule on the end. Inulin belongs to fructans. It is a soluble fibre.
How does Inulin work in our body?
Inulin is not digested or absorbed in the stomach. It goes to the bowels where bacteria are able to use it to grow. It supports the growth of a special kind of bacteria that are associated with improving bowel function and general health. Inulin decreases the body's ability to make certain kinds of fats. Inulin also adds bulk to your stool and increases the frequency of your bowel movements. You may have more bowel movements, but inulin slows overall digestion. This enables your body to better absorb nutrients from the food you eat.
Is there any side effects taking Inulin?
Very rarely – The different forms of inulin have been studied extensively, and appear to be safe for most people when consumed in small doses. People with a food allergy or FODMAP intolerance should avoid it. If you take more than a small amount, then you're likely to experience some side effects in the beginning. The most common side effects are: Flatulence (gas), Bolating, Abdominal discomfort, Loose stools and diarrhea.
What is the Lactobacillus Paracasei (Probiotic)?
It is an elite lactic acid bacteriua with excellent immune activity selected from among the several thousand strains of lactic acid bacteria. The strain greatly surpasses the other lactic acid bacteria in immune activity. It is a lactic acid bacterium recommended by Morinaga Milk Industry Corporation Ltd ., Japan’s pioneer in research into bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria.
How does probiotics work in our body?
The probiotics acts on the immunocytes in the small intestine to produce immunologically active proteins (IL-12). The probiotics stimulates antibody production promoter cells to produce antibodies that can be compared to the “key to immunity” for protecting the body against invading enemies.
