Inulin is a type of prebiotic fiber that naturally occurs in plants like chicory root. As a prebiotic, inulin helps feed the good bacteria in your gut. These bacteria ferment inulin into compounds like short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), including butyrate, which help maintain the health and integrity of the digestive system.
Some of the benefits associated with inulin include:
Tapioca fiber is a prebiotic dietary fiber derived from the cassava root, a staple plant cultivated across tropical regions for centuries. It serves as a neutral tasting source of soluble fiber that passes through the upper digestive tract intact, reaching the colon where it can serve as nourishment for the beneficial microorganisms that reside there.*
Pectin is a naturally occurring fiber found in the cell walls of fruits, particularly apples and citrus. As a soluble fiber, pectin also contributes to your daily fiber intake and helps nourish the beneficial bacteria present in the gut. This plant-based ingredient also support product experience and texture, making it a suitable alternative to animal-derived gelatin.
