Excerpt:

" Inulin, extracted from the chicory root, is already known to have a

prebiotic effect – boosting the growth of beneficial bacteria in the

gut – but while studies have shown 5g of oligofructose, formed

through the partial enzymatic hydrolysis of inulin, to have a

prebiotic benefit at 5g, Sensus says it is the first inulin producer

to prove the prebiotic effects of native inulin at a dose of 5 grams

per day. "
