Golden Greens Organic Prebiotic Inulin Fibre, 250g

Product Information

Research suggests that inulin, as a prebiotic, can have benefits for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by improving gut flora and decreasing inflammation in the gut ( 27). Inulin is a soluble fiber, one of three types of dietary fiber including soluble, insoluble, and resistant starch. Soluble fiber dissolves in water to form a gelatinous material. Some soluble fibers may help lower blood cholesterol and glucose levels. [39]

While there isn’t a standard daily requirement of inulin that has been established, consuming it regularly can contribute to your daily fiber intake. A few small human studies have also found reduced symptoms of ulcerative colitis, and a reduction in inflammatory markers in Crohn’s disease ( 28, 29).

According to Weekley, some studies have shown that inulin can help repair the gut microbiome(a network of tiny microorganisms in your intestines that help control digestion and other functions) when it’s been damaged by health conditions like Type 2 diabetes, gastrointestinal diseases, obesity and prolonged appetite suppression. She adds that in addition to stabilizing blood sugars, inulin can help lower cholesterol and reduce your risk for certain types of cancers, like other types of fiber can. It could give your mental health a boost Start by incorporating more high-fiber foods in your diet, and/or by supplementing with a small dose of fiber powder equalling about 3–5 grams per day.

Some traditional diets contain over 20 g per day of inulin or fructo-oligosaccharides. The diet of the prehistoric hunter-forager in the Chihuahuan Desert has been estimated to include 135 g per day of inulin-type fructans. [40] Many foods naturally high in inulin or fructo-oligosaccharides, such as chicory, garlic, and leek, have been seen as "stimulants of good health" for centuries. [41] Decrease constipation . In one study, older people with constipation who took 20 to 40 grams of inulin daily for a month had less trouble with constipation.

How so? It comes down to the beneficial effects of prebiotic inulin within the gut. What is inulin? It’s a type of prebiotic fiber/soluble plant fiber that’s present in high amounts in the chicory root plant, along with an estimated 36,000 other plants.

For example, studies have shown that oligofructose — which is related to inulin — can cause significant flatulence and bloating for people taking 10 g per day ( 31).

Packing

It is informative to contrast the properties of inulin with those of para-aminohippuric acid (PAH). PAH is partially filtered from plasma at the glomerulus and not reabsorbed by the tubules, in a manner identical to inulin. PAH is different from inulin in that the fraction of PAH that bypasses the glomerulus and enters the nephron's tubular cells (via the peritubular capillaries) is completely secreted. Renal clearance of PAH is thus useful in calculation of renal plasma flow (RPF), which empirically is (1- hematocrit) times renal blood flow. Of note, the clearance of PAH is reflective only of RPF to portions of the kidney that deal with urine formation, and, thus, underestimates the actual RPF by about 10%. [38]
