Maintain Gut Health and Improve Overall Well-being with VEGA Organic Inulin

Inulin, also known as inulin, is a kind of water-soluble dietary fiber. It is a reserve polysaccharide in plants, mainly derived from chrysanthemum, plataceae, gentiaceae and other plants.?At present, inulin has been widely used in dairy products, beverages, low fat low calorie food, baked goods, health food, and has been approved as nutritional supplements in more than 40 countries.

Inulin main effect

1. Regulating the intestinal microbial flora

?On 12 December 2015, the European Union issued Regulation (EU) 2015 / 2314 approving the healthy claim that inulin can help maintain normal intestinal function.

Studies have shown that adults consuming 10g of inulin oligosaccharides per day with a 20% increase in the number of bifidobacteria per gram of feces after one week. A daily intake of 10g of inulin oligosaccharides reduced the production of toxic fermentation products by 44.6% and 40.9% of harmful bacterial enzymes within 3 weeks.?Inulin administration produces a significantly higher diversity of the human gut flora.

2. Stimulate intestinal peristalsis and improve constipation

?

3. Reduce weight

Inulin can break down cholesterol, triglycerides and accelerate body fat consumption. It also reduces the rate at which food enters the stomach into the small intestine, reducing hunger and reducing the amount of food consumed. Thus play the effect of weight loss.

4. Reduce blood sugar

?In April 2016, Article 13.5 of the EU Nutrition and Health Claims Management Act stipulates that the intake of foods and beverages containing inulin can slow down the rise of blood sugar compared with sugary foods and drinks.

Inulin is sweet and sweet, and does not decompose or absorb into the human body, so it will not increase the blood sugar level and insulin content. In contrast, the short-chain fatty acids produced by inulin fermentation in the colon can reduce blood sugar and are a source of sweetness in many diabetic foods.

?

5. Promote the absorption of mineral materials

Inulin can greatly improve the Ca2+、Mg2+、Zn2+、Cu2+、 Fe2+The absorption of the same mineral. It was reported that adolescents consumed 8 g / d two inulin (long chain and short chain inulin fructans) for 8 weeks and 1 year, respectively, and the results significantly increased calcium absorption, and the bone mineral content and density were also significantly increased.

?

6. Beauty

Studies provided by the Japanese Inulin Research Association showed that eating inulin has good effects on the skin. Mr.Sun Yat-sen, the pioneer of inulin research, believes that inulin can reduce the skin color precipitation, have the effect of whitening and beautifying the skin, and make the skin become smooth, tender and shiny.

?

7. Inhibit the generation of toxic fermentation products, protect the liver, and prevent colon cancer

Food after digestion and absorption to the colon, the intestinal saprotic bacteria (coli, Bacteroides, etc.), under the action of can produce many toxic metabolites, and inulin in the colon fermentation of short chain fatty acids can reduce the colon pH, inhibit the growth of saprophytes, reduce the generation of toxic products, reduce the stimulation of the intestinal wall. Thus, it can increase the number and weight of defecation, increase the acidity of feces, accelerate the excretion of carcinogens, and produce short-chain fatty acids with anti-cancer effect, which is conducive to the prevention of colon cancer.

?

8. The improvement effect of mild and moderate depression and anxiety

2-9 oligofructose in inulin can increase the expression of trophic factor in brain nerve cells, protect the neuronal damage induced by corticosterone, and has a good effect on mild to moderate depression. Therefore, oligofructose can affect the concentration of central NE and 5-HT, so it has a good effect on mild to moderate depression and anxiety.

?

9. Control blood lipids

Intake of inulin can effectively reduce serum total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol, and improve blood lipid profile.?According to a research report published in the Union Medical Journal, inulin is beneficial for blood glucose control and lipid metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes, and has no effect on liver or kidney function.

?

Recommended food for inulin people:

1. People with diarrhea, enteritis, perennial diarrhea and chronic enteritis;

2, chronic constipation, intractable constipation, intestinal ulcer population;

3. People with hyperlipidemia, hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases;

4. People with high blood sugar and diabetes mellitus;

5. People with unbalanced intestinal flora and low immunity
