Chicory Root Powder: A Natural Prebiotic
Chicory root powder is a mild sweetener with about 30% of the sweetness of sugar. It contains a high concentration of inulin (92%), which is an excellent prebiotic.
Prebiotics strengthen the protective "barrier" of the gut, preventing pathogenic microorganisms from crossing into the body and causing undesirable effects (e.g., diarrhea). They also inhibit or slow the growth of intestinal tumors. Probiotic microorganisms enhanced by prebiotics can bind to certain carcinogenic chemicals, suppressing their activity.
Prebiotics containing fructo-oligosaccharides are linked to increased calcium and magnesium levels in the colon. These minerals regulate the renewal rate of intestinal wall cells, promote calcium and magnesium absorption, and help prevent conditions like osteopenia and osteoporosis.
The structure of inulin allows it to pass through the mouth and small intestine unaffected by enzymatic hydrolysis. It reaches the colon intact, where it undergoes fermentation by lactic enzymes. This process boosts beneficial bacteria, inhibits pathogens, and promotes gut microbiota balance, improving colon function and overall health.
According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), the following health claims can be made when 12 grams of inulin (one full tablespoon or two teaspoons) are consumed daily:
