It is part of the large group of vegetable fibers not absorbed by the human intestine , called prebiotics . They make up a large category of dietary fiber accumulated by the ability to induce the growth of intestinal microorganisms through a change in the microenvironment, thus made suitable for selecting bacterial species such as Bifidobacteria. Inulin passes through the small intestine without being degraded and does not affect the absorption of nitrogen, fat, starch, calcium, magnesium and zinc.
For more protection of existing flora and the introduction of new strains bacterial, healthy and vital that will optimize the digestive process, it is possible to combine Inulin with Flora VitaPlus .
