Inulin
Clinical trialMechanism of Action
Prebiotic support for beneficial intestinal bacteria; enhances colonic SCFA production and mucosal immunity
Prebiotic substrate for Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus; enhances butyrate production
Prebiotic substrate for Bifidobacterium spp.; modulates gut barrier function and enhances short-chain fatty acid production
Prebiotic (promotes Bifidobacterium/Lactobacillus growth); modulates blood glucose; immunomodulatory
Research Notes
Burdock RootWestern
Burdock root contains 3-5% inulin which selectively feeds Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus spp. Clinical evidence supports improved digestion and reduced intestinal dysbiosis.
Chicory RootWestern
Chicory root contains 15-20% inulin with documented prebiotic efficacy in clinical trials. Increases beneficial bacteria populations within 2-3 weeks.
Dandelion RootWestern
Inulin from dandelion root enhances beneficial intestinal microbiota and increases butyrate production. Clinical trials show improved bowel regularity and reduced constipation symptoms.
ElecampaneWestern
Well-established prebiotic effects; may improve insulin sensitivity; supports gut immune function via microbiome modulation
