Inulin has a beneficial effect on intestinal flora by stimulating the growth of beneficial bacteria, such as bifidobacteria. As a result, inulin improves digestion and nutrient absorption, and generally supports the entire immune system. Thanks to its soluble fiber properties, it also helps regulate blood sugar levels and promotes a feeling of satiety. It is often an ingredient in weight loss diets and products for diabetics.
It is also used in the food industry as a natural thickener and texture enhancer.
