Inulation is a natural prebiotic & fiber that feeds healthy bacteria in the digestive system. It is a non-digestible, soluble dietary fiber extracted from the root of the chicory plant. As a dietary supplement, Inulation is used to create a healthy bacterial balance in the intestines and colon. Inulation is a powder with a slightly sweet taste that is taken with any liquid and is often taken with a probiotic to provide a one two punch. Not all Inulin products are the same. Inulation is a specialized form of Inulin. Inulation is a registered and trademarked name for a unique form of Inulin. For Inulin to be effective it must have the correct chain length.* (8 to 13 monomers) It must also be free of pesticides and other contaminants. This why we believe that Inulation is the most superior form of Inulin on the market. Inulation is the only Inulin sold on the market that has this level of quality/purity certification. Inulation is from 100% chicory root (Cichorium intybus L). (No other sources) There are some cheap forms of Inulin on the market but they don't have the same level of purity, safety, quality and performance as Inulation.
