Support your digestive health with Supplement Place Pure Inulin Powder, a natural chicory root prebiotic that helps maintain normal bowel function when taken daily. This versatile powder can be mixed into water, smoothies, or yoghurt for a convenient fibre boost.
Our inulin powder is made from chicory root and is a source of soluble dietary fibre and prebiotic.
Chicory inulin contributes to normal bowel function by increasing stool frequency with a daily intake of 12g.
Directions
The recommended intake levels vary quite widely between 5g and 40g daily; also, individual reactions to Inulin vary. We recommend starting with a small amount and increasing unless discomfort occurs.
Measure one flat scoop (approx. 4-6g) and mix with water, squash or juice and drink. Inulin can also be added to shakes and smoothies, or mixed with yoghurt. It is recommended to increase your fluid intake when supplementing with Inulin. After the first 4-5 days, two scoops (approx. 8-12g) can be taken, which is enough for the majority of people, although up to 40g daily can be taken if no adverse effects occur.
Ingredients
100% Chicory Root
Suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
Cautions
Our Inulin is extracted from chicory. Inulin may cause some stomach discomfort when first taken so we recommend starting with a small amount and gradually increasing. The fermentation of Inulin in the large intestine may cause flatulence, bloating and some degree of diarrhoea as the body becomes accustomed to the new addition to the diet. A recent study comparing the effects of 5 grams daily and 8 grams daily noted that the higher dose produced less gas.
As with most supplements your body should guide you to your ideal dose.
There are no known interactions with other medicines or supplements.
Inulin is considered high FODMAP
Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking any medication or under medical supervision, please consult a doctor before use. Discontinue use and consult a doctor if adverse reactions occur.
Recommended for adults.
