Inulin

Inulin is a type of soluble fiber found naturally in various plants such as chicory root, leek, dandelion root, and garlic. Inulin is considered a prebiotic, which are agents that help improve digestive health. Inulin may be used to help lower blood sugar levels, decrease constipation, reduce appetite and manage weight, boost heart health, increase calcium and magnesium absorption, reduce the risk of colon cancer, and aid with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
