How it works
Inulin acts as a food source for beneficial gut bacteria, promoting their growth and activity. This fermentation process can lead to improved digestive regularity and a healthier gut microbiome, with effects typically noticeable within 1-4 weeks of consistent use.
Who should take it
Adults looking to address bloating, indigestion, irregular bowel movements. Particularly relevant for people who prefer a targeted single ingredient and who have ruled out an underlying condition that needs medical care first.
Avoid / careful
Pregnant or nursing women without clinician oversight. People on prescription medication affecting the same pathway should consult a doctor before combining. Side effects are uncommon at recommended doses but mild GI upset can occur when starting.
