NOW Foods Prebiotic Inulin Fiber for Intestinal Support 180 Vcaps
- NOW Foods Prebiotic Inulin Fiber is a dietary supplement designed to support intestinal health by nourishing friendly bacteria. Each bottle contains 180 vegetarian capsules of soluble prebiotic fiber.
NOW Foods Prebiotic Inulin Fiber is a high-quality dietary supplement designed to provide targeted support for intestinal health and function. This product features Inulin, a type of soluble prebiotic fiber known as a fructooligosaccharide (FOS), which plays a crucial role in maintaining a balanced gut microbiome. By nourishing the beneficial bacteria that reside in the large intestine, this supplement helps promote a healthy digestive environment. The formula is presented in a convenient format of 180 vegetarian capsules, making it an easy addition to your daily wellness routine. It is specifically crafted for individuals seeking to enhance their digestive health through natural, plant-based ingredients.
The primary active component of this supplement is Organic Inulin (FOS), derived from a natural source. Each serving of 3 capsules delivers a potent dose of this prebiotic fiber. Inulin is unique because it is resistant to digestion in the upper gastrointestinal tract, allowing it to arrive in the large intestine largely intact. There, it serves as a food source for friendly probiotic bacteria, such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli. These microorganisms ferment the inulin, producing beneficial metabolites like short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), including butyrate, acetate, and propionate. These SCFAs are vital as they provide energy for the cells lining the colon (colonocytes), helping to maintain the integrity and health of the intestinal lining.
For proper use, the recommended dosage is 3 capsules taken 1 to 2 times per day. It is best to consume the capsules with a glass of water, either with or between meals. Starting with a smaller dose and gradually increasing to the recommended amount can help the digestive system adjust to the increased fiber intake. Because inulin has a very low glycemic index, it does not cause spikes in blood sugar and will not negatively impact serum glucose levels, making it suitable for individuals monitoring their glucose intake.
Each bottle contains 180 vegetarian capsules, which equates to 60 servings based on the 3-capsule serving size. When taken once daily, a single bottle will last for approximately two months. This product is intended for adults seeking to improve their digestive regularity and overall gut health. It is vegetarian/vegan and kosher. For optimal potency, store the product in a cool, dry, and dark place after opening. Please keep this supplement out of the reach of children.
