As a low-fat, low-calorie, plant-derived source of fibre, inulin powder is a dietary supplement with a number of health benefits. The most notable is supporting gut health, but it can also aid with weight management, regulating blood sugars and supporting calcium absorption.As they are derived from plant sources, the users needn’t worry about anything synthetic in them. Besides, the supplement helps in body weight management and also balances blood sugar levels other than enhancing mental clarity and brain function. 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] Prebiotics, on the other hand, act as food for the beneficial bacteria in our gut. Hence, prebiotics exclusively help the good bacteria to flourish whereas the harmful bacteria perish due to starvation ( 2). Inulin is indigestible by the human enzymes ptyalin and amylase, which are adapted to digest starch. As a result, it passes through much of the digestive system intact. Only in the colon do bacteria metabolise inulin, with the release of significant quantities of carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and/or methane. Inulin-containing foods can be rather gassy, in particular for those unaccustomed to inulin, and these foods should be consumed in moderation at first. [ citation needed]
