Read more about this product

Food supplement in the form of a powder with FibrulineTM highly soluble natural inulin obtained from chicory root. Inulin is a dietary fibre, naturally occurring in many fruits and vegetables which has a positive effect on the digestive system.

If you want to support proper digestion and reduce constipation, reach for inulin, which is a naturally occurring fibre in vegetables and fruits that has a positive effect on the functioning of the digestive tract. Inulin also supports the proper level of glucose and cholesterol in the blood and increases the feeling of fullness, which is helpful during weight loss [1-4].

Inulin is found in some 36,000 species of plants, and chicory roots are its richest source. Inulin is a type of soluble fibre. It belongs to the fructans that have a prebiotic effect by nourishing the good bacteria in our intestines. Gut bacteria use inulin to produce short-chain fatty acids that nourish the cells in the gut and thus have many health benefits for our body. Inulin helps to loosen the stool mass, thanks to which it increases the frequency of bowel movements and regulates the work of the intestines. It reduces the risk of constipation by improving the comfort of digestion. It supports the maintenance of the normal mucosa in the large intestine by shortening the time of exposure to potential carcinogenic substances [5, 6]. The consumption of fibre lowers the level of glucose and also reduces the absorption of cholesterol by lowering the total level and the LDL fraction in the blood. By increasing satiety, inulin helps to better control the appetite and calorie consumption, which facilitates the process of slimming and reducing body fat [1-4]. Inulin supports the optimal intestinal microflora [6,7]. Proper intestinal microflora is essential for the health and function of the digestive tract, the production of vitamins K and B, and proper immunity. Gut health affects well-being and mood.

Our supplement contains FibrulineTM, a very soluble inulin obtained from chicory root with a high fibre content. The daily dose contains a total of 13.5 grams of FibrulineTM, a fibre from the chicory root (Cichorium intybus) that provides 12 g of inulin. In the package you will find a measuring cup that will help you measure the recommended amount of the product to be consumed three times a day. The product has excellent solubility in both hot and cold drinks, and is also an ideal addition to smoothies and meals. If you want to take care of the health of your intestines and regular defecation - use inulin, which will increase the frequency of bowel movements, support the proper functioning of the digestive tract and help you maintain optimal glucose and cholesterol levels.
