Description
If you watched the BBC programme “How to Stay Young” you will have seen that Angela Rippon, 71 and very fit, was alarmed and amazed that she had the organs of a younger person but a high amount of visceral fat stored around all of her major organs, including her heart.
Pure Inulin Powder - Fibre Supplement
Inulin powder is a soluble dietary fibre supplement and prebiotic found in many vegetables, most notably, chicory.
Inulin is considered high FODMAP and may not be suitable for those with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). A low FODMAP alternative is Baobab powder.
Directions
- The recommended intake levels vary quite widely between 5g and 40g daily; also, individual reactions to Inulin vary. We recommend starting with a small amount and increasing unless discomfort occurs.
- Measure one flat scoop (approx. 4-6g) and mix with water, squash or juice and drink. Inulin can also be added to shakes and smoothies, or mixed with yoghurt. It is recommended to increase your fluid intake when supplementing with Inulin. After the first 4-5 days, two scoops (approx. 8-12g) can be taken, which is enough for the majority of people, although up to 40g daily can be taken if no adverse effects occur.
Ingredients
- 100% Chicory Root
Suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
Cautions
- Our Inulin is extracted from chicory. Inulin may cause some stomach discomfort when first taken so we recommend starting with a small amount and gradually increasing. The fermentation of Inulin in the large intestine may cause flatulence, bloating and some degree of diarrhoea as the body becomes accustomed to the new addition to the diet. A recent study comparing the effects of 5 grams daily and 8 grams daily noted that the higher dose produced less gas.
- As with most supplements your body should guide you to your ideal dose.
- There are no known interactions with other medicines or supplements.
Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking any medication or under medical supervision, please consult a doctor before use. Discontinue use and consult a doctor if adverse reactions occur.
Recommended for adults.
