Our study aimed to explore how a prebiotic called fructooligosaccharide (FOS)-inulin affects chickens' ability to combat food poisoning caused by Salmonella Enteritidis (SE). We focused on chicken macrophages, which are important immune cells that help eliminate this pathogen. Using an in vitro model, we treated the HD11 macrophage cell line with FOS-inulin and assessed its ability to phagocytose and kill SE, as well as the production of inflammatory markers.
The results were quite revealing. After treatment with FOS-inulin, we found that the HD11 cells contained significantly fewer viable SE compared to those that were untreated, suggesting that this prebiotic supports macrophage function in eliminating the bacteria. However, it’s worth noting that FOS-inulin did not appear to influence the overall phagocytosis process or the production of nitric oxide, a key player in the immune response.
Additionally, we observed that levels of IL-1β, an important inflammatory cytokine, were significantly reduced in macrophages treated with FOS-inulin. This indicates that FOS-inulin can help modulate the innate immune response, making it potentially beneficial for enhancing the body's defense against foodborne pathogens while also reducing excessive inflammation.

We investigated how inulin, a popular prebiotic, affects gut health during instances of food poisoning, particularly following iron fortification. In our study, we observed that iron fortification can increase diarrhea risk in weaning mice and, unfortunately, make them more susceptible to infections like Salmonella.
Mice given a diet with 500 ppm of iron showed more severe symptoms when infected, including weight loss and reduced appetite. However, we found that supplementing their diet with inulin for just seven days before infection significantly improved their health outcomes. The presence of inulin helped reduce the abundance of the harmful pathogen, Salmonella, in their intestines and alleviated gut damage caused by iron.
Our results suggest that inulin acts as a protective barrier, improving gut health by fostering a balance in gut microbiota during challenging times. This research highlights the potential of using inulin to mitigate the harmful side effects of iron supplementation, offering valuable insights for dietary considerations, particularly among vulnerable populations like children.

This product has improved my constipation, which I have struggled with for 20-30 years. Having only one bowel movement every two to three days, I was in search of effective remedies. Prebiotics are crucial for gut health, and this one pairs well with probiotics, enhancing results. I recommend taking 2-4 teaspoons daily; you’ll notice clear improvements after one or two days!

Effective for constipation
6 people found this helpful
I found this effective for constipation! Usually, I wouldn't notice it for about three days, so I tried various remedies. However, when I drank it, everything came out daily. It's tasteless and odourless, so I sometimes add it to my morning coffee or even to udon or ramen, though it may not be as effective if mixed with cold food. Mixing it with warm food is better! I like using three transparent spoons from a dessert shop, but four cups work as well, so it's best to find the amount that suits you. That amount lasted me about six weeks!

Supports gut health

Inulin supports my intestinal health and function excellently. Its pleasant taste slightly sweetens foods and drinks without negatively impacting blood glucose levels. It aids my metabolism, alleviates constipation, and works even better when combined with a probiotic, boosting my immune system. I appreciate the large packaging and the product's quality.

Refreshing experience

I’ve tried various supplements and fermented foods to enhance my intestinal environment, but this has been the most effective. After consuming it, I felt a refreshing effect within about three hours. I plan to continue buying it. I took between 5g and 10g at a time, mixing it with herbal tea. Its sweetness makes it a great addition to juice, and it pairs well with cocoa and hot beverages.

I became acquainted with this prebiotic when introducing the Nemecheka protocol for my son. It is recommended for this protocol! He has experienced improved stool and digestion, and his microflora is now normal. The stool is more formed, and I've noticed all the changes necessary for the protocol!

Excellent results

Inulin enhances the action of probiotics! When purchasing probiotics, consider their food to ensure at least 10% survive. Inulin is the favourite food for beneficial bacteria! I take a teaspoon with each probiotic, and the results are superb, as expected.

Quick recovery
86 people found this helpful
The large jar has a sweet, sticky gum-like taste. I purchased it hoping to improve my digestive system. I had taken Lactofiltrum probiotics after experiencing food poisoning, which helped me recover quickly. I believe these prebiotics will provide similar benefits. However, I find that in room temperature water, it coagulates and does not dissolve completely.
