Cichorium intybus root
Chicory root-derived prebiotic fiber feeding beneficial gut bacteria.
Chicory root (Cichorium intybus) is a primary source of inulin, a prebiotic fiber that selectively stimulates beneficial gut bacteria such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli. It is used to support digestive health, enhance calcium absorption, and modulate blood sugar levels. Key active compounds include inulin, fructooligosaccharides (FOS), and oligofructose.
Inulin and FOS resist hydrolysis in the upper gastrointestinal tract and reach the colon intact, where they are fermented by the gut microbiota, producing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like butyrate, acetate, and propionate. These SCFAs lower colonic pH, improve mineral solubility (enhancing calcium and magnesium absorption), and provide energy for colonocytes. Inulin also slows gastric emptying and reduces postprandial glucose excursions by delaying carbohydrate digestion and absorption. Additionally, it may increase satiety via release of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and peptide YY (PYY).
