Is Chicory Inulin Powder a natural anti-constipation food

According to a report in the American Journal of Practical Nutrition published in 2015, regular consumption of inulin can reduce the rate at which carbohydrates are decomposed into glucose, thereby helping to control the occurrence of postprandial hyperglycemia. Therefore, inulin is beneficial to patients with type 2 diabetes or blood sugar. For those with high levels, it is also a natural auxiliary hypoglycemic food that balances blood sugar levels. In addition, there are reports abroad that long-term use of inulin can reduce the accumulation of abdominal fat and reduce weight.

Foreign food researchers concluded that the main functions of inulin are: 1. As a low-calorie sweetener; 2. Lowering blood lipids; 3. Regulating the structure of the intestinal flora, increasing the number of probiotics such as bifidobacteria; 4. Inhibiting the intestines The amount of toxic fermentation products can promote defecation and increase the acidity of feces; 5. Prevent the occurrence of colon cancer; 6. Increase the absorption rate of calcium, magnesium, iron and other trace elements in the intestine by 20% (this may be related to the increase of inulin in the intestine The acidity is related to the acidity, because trace elements such as calcium, magnesium and iron are more easily absorbed into the blood in an acidic medium).

In fact, many kinds of plants contain inulin, including: chicory, Jerusalem artichoke, agave, yam, banana, onion, garlic, asparagus, shallots, leeks, wheat, etc., but the inulin content of chicory and Jerusalem artichoke It is the highest (according to analysis, the highest inulin content of chicory can reach 35%~38%), followed by garlic and onion, which contain 10%~16% inulin. Other plants generally contain no more than 10% inulin. Therefore, most of the commercially available inulin is extracted from chicory or Jerusalem artichoke. Junmen inulin is extracted from natural chicory, so it is pure natural and healthy.
