Stark Inulin & FOS 300 grams (inulin, prebiotic)

Stark Inulin & FOS 300 grams — prebiotic for microflora and fiber

Stark Inulin & FOS is a powdered prebiotic based on inulin and fructooligosaccharides (50:50). These are dietary fibers that should not be confused with probiotics: prebiotics are a “nutrient medium” for intestinal microorganisms.

The formula may be suitable if you want to add inulin and FOS to your diet in a convenient format — dissolve in water or add to a protein shake.

The product is intended for adults and is suitable for daily use within the recommended guidelines.

Briefly about the product:

• Product type: prebiotic (inulin + fructooligosaccharides 50:50).
• Form: powder.
• One serving contains: inulin — 2500 mg; fructooligosaccharides — 2500 mg.
• Nutritional value per 100 g: proteins — 0 g; fats — 0 g; carbohydrates — 93 g (of which dietary fiber — 90 g, sugars — 3 g).
• Energy value (calories): 209 kcal / 874 kJ.
• Packaging: polymer jars of 300 grams.

How it works:

• Prebiotic fibers: inulin and FOS may serve as a substrate for beneficial representatives of the intestinal microbiota.
• Fermentation: in the large intestine, fibers may ferment with the formation of short-chain fatty acids.
• Intestinal barrier: fermentation products may help support mucosal functions and barrier properties.
• Digestive comfort: increasing the proportion of dietary fiber in the diet may help support digestive regularity and comfort.
• Metabolic processes: changes in microbiota composition and metabolites may affect metabolic processes and feelings of satiety.
• Diet support: prebiotics are convenient to combine with daily nutrition and a sports lifestyle.
