MyProtein: Inulin Fructo-Oligosaccharides

Myprotein Inulin Powder is a type of prebiotic found in many common vegetables which has gained a lot of attention in recent years due to its potential for helping provide benefits for those with blood sugar issues, weight loss, and helping resolve digestive problems such as constipation.

How does Myprotein Inulin Work?

Inulin is found in onions, asparagus, leeks and other fibrous vegetables. As a prebiotic is not digestable by the body it works in a different way to other carbohydrates which your body breaks down to supply you with energy. Instead of supplying energy, inulin helps nourish the growth of beneficial stomach bacteria which in turn can help support better digestion of food, a big benefit for those who experience malabsorption issues such as constipation and bloating.

Inulin is transported in the body to your large intestines where it feeds good bacteria leading to their proliferation. In addition to its effects with stomach bacteria, inulin also has research showing it can increase mineral absorption including key minerals such as calcium and magnesium which are usually found to be deficient in most athletes.

As a general health supplement, inulin's beneficial actions make it useful for both those with poor digestive health as well as those seeking to improve weight loss due to its ability to add bulk to your diet but without the caloric load of regular carbohydrates. In other words, inulin can help keep you full for longer which can help reduce food cravings.
