Inulin is a fructooligosaccharide (FOS), a soluble fiber with prebiotic properties. Since it cannot be digested by the small intestine, it travels to the large intestine, where it functions as a prebiotic, or food source, for beneficial bacteria (probiotics). The human intestine contains trillions of beneficial bacteria (probiotics). Bifidobacteria are good bacteria that colonize the colon. They feed on complex carbohydrates, such as inulin, and form short-chain fatty acids (such as butyrate), essential for human health. Inulin essentially serves as food for Bifidobacteria and stimulates their growth and activity.
Inulin increases the need for bowel movements and alters stool consistency in children and adults. Inulin can lower blood fat levels through several mechanisms. It can:

• decrease the production of liver enzymes responsible for the production of fats;


• increase the amount of enzymes that break down fat in the muscles;


• improve the production of short-chain fatty acids;


• increase satiating peptides and cholesterol removal.

Inulin can help with weight loss by reducing food intake and thus helping to use stored fat for energy. However, to ensure effectiveness, other lifestyle changes are necessary, such as exercising or improving your diet.
