How does the Prebiotic Inulation work?
Extensive research has shown the inulin molecules, like those in Inulation – Inulin, upon ingestion are not digested in the stomach or the small intestine and arrive unchanged in the colon. There they serve as selective Prebiotic food for the resident good bacteria such as Bifidobacteria and lactobacilli for their better survival, viability, growth and proliferation. When these good bacteria proliferate, they produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and lactic acid lower your intestinal pH, making your intestinal environment unsuitable for undesirable bacteria and certain enzymes that are a common source of several health problems. As your lower intestinal environment becomes uninhabitable for bad bacteria, they can no longer survive, creating a positive balance of good bacteria as compared to the bad bacteria, and as a consequence, several health benefits may be experienced.
