Description
Inulin is a soluble dietary fibre with a prebiotic function. It promotes the growth of healthy gut bacteria, aids digestion and can boost the immune system. Ideal for improving gut health. Due to its versatility, inulin can be easily added to smoothies, yoghurt or baked goods.
What is inulin?
Inulin is a plant polysaccharide that belongs to the fructan group. Some plants store energy in the form of inulin, particularly in roots and rhizomes. Inulin is a complex sugar or polysaccharide made up of long chains of fructose. Inulin is a water-soluble, indigestible dietary fibre. It is found in large quantities in chicory, Jerusalem artichokes, sweet potatoes, bananas, asparagus and onions.
It is essential for digestive health. Intestinal health is determined by the condition of the intestinal mucosa and the composition of the bacteria living in the intestine. It creates homeostasis and harmony that affects the whole organism or can cause disease by disrupting this balance.
Apple pectin and inulin are prebiotics. They are resistant to digestive enzymes and reach the large intestine unchanged. In the large intestine, they stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestinal flora and inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.
The effects of inulin
- Inulin is good for intestinal health
- It ensures a healthy intestinal flora
- Regenerates the intestinal mucosa
- Prevents leaky gut syndrome
- Has an anti-inflammatory effect
- Strengthens the immune system
- Regulates lipid metabolism and blood sugar levels
- It curbs hunger and helps you lose weight
- Prevents fatty liver and protects against cardiovascular disease and diabetes
- Improves the absorption of minerals and therefore bone health
- Studies have shown that dietary fibre intake improves kidney diseases and metabolism-related diseases
- Inulin supplementation improves insulin resistance
- May also help in migraine or estrogen dominance
Health-related role
Inulin and different types of fibre are important for our health. If we eat too little fibre, we can develop diseases and intestinal problems. The immune system and gut flora protect our bodies from harmful substances.
Our microbiome must get the nutrients it needs every day. Among these nutrients are pectin and inulin. They help the healthy epithelial cells of the small intestine (enterocytes) and the healthy epithelial cells of the large intestine (colonocytes) to function properly. They support the development of a well-functioning microbiome (gut flora). They promote eliminating harmful, toxin-producing, so-called gram-negative (LPS) bacteria and fungi. Good (eubiotic) bacteria provide protection, proper permeability and balance of the intestinal mucosa.
In recent years we have learned more and more about the important role of a healthy microbiome for the functioning of the whole body. The immune system of the digestive tract is often referred to as GALT (gut-associated lymphoid tissue). About 70% of the immune system is located in the gastrointestinal tract. GALT consists of different types of lymphoid tissue that produce and store immune cells that attack pathogens.
Inulin with synergistic ingredients
Pectin and inulin are the two most valuable dietary fibres. Pectin, as a water-soluble fermentable fibre, and inulin, as a resistant carbohydrate, play an important role in the balance of the intestinal immune system. Fibre supports the intestinal defence system, prevents disease and helps the immune system of the intestinal mucosa to function properly. The intestinal lining and epithelial cells prevent unwanted molecules and pathogens from entering the lymph and bloodstream.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD) are chronic and relapsing inflammatory bowel diseases. Symptoms such as diarrhoea, abdominal cramps, weight loss, fatigue, anaemia and extra-intestinal symptoms (including various inflammatory skin conditions, and arthritis) significantly impact quality of life.
The incidence of UC and CD has increased worldwide over the past 50 years, particularly in developing and Western countries. Chronic and recurrent inflammatory bowel diseases are the result of a complex interplay of immunological, microbial and environmental factors, making the development of specific therapies a major challenge. An important part of the therapy is the treatment of dysfunctions of the intestinal wall and the immune system (autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, Crohn’s disease, IBS, ulcerative colitis).
Improving the function of the intestinal wall by increasing fibre intake can be an effective strategy for disease prevention.

The Use of Inulin
Pectin has been shown to have health benefits when consumed as part of a meal at 10g per day. Pectin helps maintain normal blood cholesterol levels and has a positive effect on the microbiome.
Taking 12g of inulin per day contributes to normal bowel function by increasing the frequency of bowel movements.
The beneficial effect is achieved by consuming 100ml per day.
If your daily intake of water-soluble fermentable fibre is at least 40-50g, take 50ml of apple pectin with inulin per day.
Can be taken straight or mixed with liquids and ready meals.
