Is inulin suitable for everyone?
Inulin itself is a functional plant polysaccharide polyfructose, which has the physiological function and biological activity of water-soluble dietary fiber, not only reducing the consumption of inulin by infants.

As a natural growth promoter of intestinal probiotics, powder has wide application value in food, beverage, health care products, medicine and other fields. Inulin comes from natural plants in nature, and long-term drinking of inulin has no side effects, which is environmentally friendly and safe.

The effects of drinking inulin are as follows:

First, promote defecation.

After taking inulin for a period of time, you will obviously feel that the gastrointestinal function has been enhanced and the stool has begun to flow smoothly. In addition, the functions of digestion and defecation are also enhanced. After taking inulin, it can enhance the peristalsis of intestinal tract, expel odor, and thus restore the health of intestinal tract, especially for some habitual constipation and intractable constipation.

Second, promote absorption.

The prebiotics in inulin are fermented and utilized by lactic acid bacteria in the intestine, which becomes the nutritional support of lactic acid bacteria. The metabolism of lactic acid bacteria can reduce the intestinal absorption of triglycerides and cholic acid. Inulin can promote the absorption of vitamins and trace elements by regulating gastrointestinal movement, so as to be healthy and energetic, and then promote the consumption of energy in the body, so as to eliminate fat and help lose weight.

Third, increase immunity.

While eating inulin helps digestion, inulin also has the functions of proliferating bifidobacteria, promoting gastrointestinal peristalsis and digestion, improving skin problems, increasing vitamin synthesis and improving human immune function.

Fourth, soften the stool.

Adults consume about 10g inulin oligosaccharide every day, and the humidity and moisture in stool will also increase. A week later, the number of Bifidobacterium in each gram of feces increased by 20%. Daily intake of 10g inulin oligosaccharide can reduce the production of toxic fermentation products and harmful bacterial enzymes by 44.6% and 40.9% within three weeks.

Extended data:

The water-soluble dietary fiber content of inulin is required to be not less than 90% internationally, and not less than 86% in China's national standards. Inulin is a kind of dietary fiber, which has long been called "the seventh nutrient" by nutritionists, and has the effect of prebiotics.

Because there is no enzyme to decompose inulin in human and animals, inulin is usually not absorbed by the stomach and small intestine, but fermented by Bifidobacterium and lactic acid bacteria in the colon, thus promoting the production of intestinal probiotics and improving the intestinal microecological environment, so it is called an important Bifidobacterium proliferation factor.

Inulin is fermented and utilized by beneficial bacteria to produce short-chain fatty acids, which reduces the pH value in the intestine, thus promoting the absorption of minerals and improving constipation.
