How is Oligfructose-Enriched-Inulin Different than Plain Inulin?
Oligofructose-Enriched-Inulin (OEI) is the specific prebiotic used in Prebiotin. It is a natural, plant-derived compound of oligofructose and inulin together. Unlike plain inulin, which ferments mostly in the left-hand side of the colon, OEI creates beneficial bacteria fermentation and production of short-chain fatty acids throughout the colon. Additionally, the majority of research demonstrating the benefits of prebiotics has been done with OEI rather than plain inulin. That’s what we mean when we say Prebiotin is “Beyond InulinTM.” QUESTIONS ABOUT DIGESTIVE HEALTH IN GENERAL 1. What about “colon cleansing”? From a medical and scientific standpoint, colon cleansing makes no sense. You can never rid your colon of bacteria, nor should you ever want to. The good bacteria are your friends and should be fed properly.
