Description

Inulin is a naturally occurring soluble dietary fiber that serves as a reserve polysaccharide in more than 36,000 plant species. It is most commonly extracted from Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) tubers and chicory roots, which are widely used in the food, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical industries.

Recognized for its exceptional prebiotic properties, inulin plays a pivotal role in gut health by selectively stimulating the growth of beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, thereby contributing to a balanced intestinal microbiota. Beyond its digestive benefits, inulin offers a wide array of physiological and metabolic advantages, including:

Gut Microbiota Modulation: Supports the proliferation of probiotics, improving overall gut flora composition and function.
Lipid Metabolism Regulation: Helps reduce serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels, contributing to cardiovascular health.
Blood Sugar Control: Slows glucose absorption, improving glycemic response and reducing the risk of insulin resistance.
Weight Management: Enhances satiety and reduces calorie intake, making it beneficial for weight control strategies.
Anti-inflammatory Effects: Modulates immune responses, reducing systemic inflammation and associated chronic diseases.

With its diverse health-promoting properties, inulin is widely used in dietary supplements, functional foods, and pharmaceutical formulations to enhance overall well-being.
