A prebiotic fiber blend that feeds multiple types of good gut bacteria better than either component alone.
Regular inulin only feeds bacteria in the lower colon. This blend adds short-chain oligofructose for the upper colon too. Better coverage, better results.
Bacteria ferment fiber and produce gas. It's actually a sign it's working. Gas usually decreases in 1-2 weeks.
Yes. Studies showed 20% improvement in adolescents at 8g/day. Short-chain fatty acids increase mineral solubility in the colon.

Some ingredients build up over weeks. Others act fast.
The compound effect of consistent dosing.
Check the cautions section if you have a pre-existing condition.
Some ingredients you feel. Others just work in the background.
Proceed carefully. These are FODMAPs. Start very low (2-3g) if tolerated.
The branded version by Beneo. The formulation used in most clinical research.
Yes, great combo. The prebiotic feeds the probiotic. Called a synbiotic approach.
Regularity in days. Microbiome changes at 2-4 weeks. Calcium absorption measured at 4-8 weeks.
Some of the best research was done in adolescents. Lower doses for younger kids.
Most research uses 8.0g daily. Below 5.0g, you're probably wasting money. Above 15.0g, no extra benefit. The curve plateaus. Safe upper limit ~ 30.0g.
Short-chain oligofructose is rapidly fermented in the proximal colon while long-chain inulin reaches the distal colon, providing sustained prebiotic fermentation and short-chain fatty acid production throughout the entire large intestine.
Oligofructose Enriched Inulin has emerging evidence.
Chicory root (Cichorium intybus)
Inulin extracted from chicory root by hot water diffusion. Oligofructose from partial enzymatic hydrolysis. Blended 50:50.
