Inulin Powder, Organic, Prebiotic-Group BUY (Expect 2 weeks to arrive)
Inulin is a starchy substance found in a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and herbs such as bananas, asparagus, Jerusalem artichoke, jicama, leeks, onions, garlic, and chicory and dandelion root. It is also found in the pina of the agave plant (a cactus). Inulin is a fiber that cannot be broken down by the digestive enzymes in the stomach or small intestine. Therefore, it remains “intact” until it reaches the large intestine where lactobacillus species of bacteria have been shown to preferentially ferment inulin, especially the Bifidus species. These microscopic organisms predominantly live on undigested fiber in our diet and love inulin. This is why inulin is categorized as a “prebiotic”. Probiotics are the actual “friendly” bacteria that live in your gut. Prebiotics are substances (fiber) that these organisms like to live on.

Inulin, as it is “digested” by “friendly” gut flora converts to fructooligosaccharides (polysaccharides) and eventually these more complex substances are turned into simple sugars, until finally becoming acids of fermentation (also known as short chain fatty acids such as acetic acid, butyric acid and propionic acid). Energy for the cells lining the intestinal tract comes predominantly from these acids of fermentation/short-chain fatty acids.
