Chicory Root Extract

Inulin, a natural extract derived from chicory root, aids and assists many of the human body’s key metabolic functions.

In addition to its technological characteristics, inulin (from chicory) can provide other health properties. Some of these include suppression of pathogenic gut microorganisms and their toxins, improvement of gut health and prevention of ulcerative colitis and malabsorption, positive influences on blood sugar and insulin for diabetics, improved calcium balance for osteoporosis and immune activation as related disease prevention, allergies and potential help for autoimmune diseases, like Crohn’s and rheumatoid arthritis. Inulin suppresses appetite and mediates carbohydrate and lipid metabolism for relatively long periods of time; inulin boosts mineral absorption.
