Inulin Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) are carbohydrate found mostly in root vegetables such as Jerusalem artichoke‚ chicory root. It is believed that this carbohydrate may also be found in onions and garlic‚ though not in larger quantities. The human body does not completely digest these starches and the undigested starches may provide nourishment to the good bacteria in our colon. When we do not include these foods in our diet regularly‚ we may use this supplement from Jarrow Formulas®. Inulin FOS is generally used as a fiber supplement and a prebiotic. Though it is not digestible in the gut‚ it may help by stimulating the growth of certain bacteria that may contain beneficial qualities.

Bifidobacteria digests inulin to produce the short chain fatty acids like acetic‚ propionic and butyric acids. Certain studies have revealed that these fatty acids may help the liver for energy production.

There are some clinical studies‚ which state that Inulin FOS may help with irritable bowel syndrome and sometimes in cases of traveler’s diarrhea. There are private studies‚ which believe that Inulin FOS may improve magnesium and copper absorption by the body.
