Learn more about Oliggo-Fiber® Inulin
Oliggo-Fiber® inulin and oligofructose products are sources of soluble dietary fiber that can be measured in foods by AOAC analytical methods. Like other prebiotics, they are not digested and absorbed in the stomach or small intestine but arrive unaltered in the large intestine where they are fermented, forming short chain fatty acids, gases and increased numbers of beneficial bacteria.
The particular soluble fiber properties of Oliggo-Fiber® inulin can result in improved intestinal functions like a bulking effect and maintenance of healthy digestion.
