Benefits of Organic Prebiotic Inulin

"The Truth About Sleep"

In the BBCs' 'The Truth About Sleep', Dr Michael Mosley took Prebiotic Fibre to see if it could help promote better sleep (take 90 mins before bed), and improve gut bacteria.

And recent research* indicates that this positive change in gut bacteria may also have an effect on brain function associated with early signs of Alzheimer’s disease, in just 12 weeks.

A familiar struggle?

As a self-confessed poor sleeper, Dr Mosley said:

"I would wake tired and irritable and began to dread going to sleep... I was convinced this disrupted sleep was rotting my brain and ageing my body."

Positive Results after 5 Days

After a 5-day experiment with prebiotic fibre for the BBC, Dr Mosley was so impressed by the improvements that he rated its effectiveness for enhancing his sleep 9 out of 10.

"A truly restful night"

"Our insomniac tester could not wait to give it a go. Just a teaspoon daily in water 90 minutes before hitting the hay worked wonders and resulted in a truly restful night" -The Independent.

When you're well-rested and feeling your best, you're happier. You're more able to handle stress, and enjoy more fulfilling relationships with your family and friends.

Common Questions

1. What is Inulin?

Organic Inulin is a special type of solubledietary fibre, that our body doesn't digest.
"Inulin is a prebiotic that can help develop a microbiome and provide fuel for good bacteria to live in your gut. Eating inulin-rich foods can help your bacteria perform activities that keep your gut healthy." -Dr Michael Mosley.
Good bacteria helps us to absorb more nutrients from the foods we digest. (1)

2. What's the difference between Prebiotics & Probiotics?

Probiotics are the live bacteria, the 'good' gut bacteria.
Inulin is a prebiotic and prebiotics are a type of fibre that our body doesn't digest.
Instead it reaches our gut (large intestine) and is fermented by good gut bacteria which feed from it and increase as a result.

3. How do I use it?

We recommend taking 1 tsp (5g) per day, in a glass of water or milk.
It dissolves in liquid and can be added to most foods, including tea or coffee, as well as stirring into breakfast cereals.
For sleep, try taking 1 tsp in water or hot milk about 90 mins before bed.
If you've not used inulin before then we recommend starting off gradually:
Start with 1/4 tsp for 4 days, and increasing by 1/4 tsp every 4 days until you're taking 1tsp. This gives your digestive system time to get used to the extra soluble fibre.
We also recommend drinking more water throughout the day.

4. What does it taste like?

Inulin has a mild sweet taste.
Even though inulin is a type of fibre, it's unique is because it contains fructan. Fructan is a compound made from fructose, a kind of sugar. When you eat inulin, your body doesn't digest or absorb it. However, the sweet taste receptors on your tongue can sense the fructose, making it taste sweet.
But don't confuse it with sugar! Inulin isn't as sweet and its sweetness varies. The best part? Even though inulin tastes sweet due to its fructose content, it doesn't raise blood sugar levels because it isn't digested or absorbed by your body.

5. Where is Organic Inulin from?

Inulin is packed in our certified organic production facility in the UK. It's derived from organic agave, a cactus like plant which is cultivated in Mexico.
It's certified by the Organic Food Federation in the UK, and displays the Organic Logo and license: GB-ORG-04.
Our Organic Food Federation licence is: 02045/21.

6. What are the ingredients?

It's 100% pure organic inulin fibre, which is derived from organic agave. There are no added ingredients.
The shelf life is 18 months from production date if your pouch is unopened and stored in a dry, cool environment, away from direct sunlight. There is a best before date printed on the back label.
Once opened keep your inulin sealed in the pouch, or for ease of use you can store in an airtight jar or container and it can be stored in the cupboard.

Inulin and Your Health

7. Are there any side effects from taking Inulin?

Inulin is generally well-tolerated, but some people may experience mild digestive side effects, such as bloating, gas, and abdominal discomfort.
These side effects are typically more common when first introducing inulin to the diet and usually decrease over time.
Drinking more water during day can help with any bloating or gas.

If you've not taken inulin before then we recommend starting gradually with 1/4 tsp for 4 days, and increasing by 1/4 tsp every 4 days, until you're taking the recommend amount, or the amount you're comfortable with. This gives your digestive system time to get used to the extra soluble fibre.

Good sources of fibre include fresh and dried fruits, vegetables, beans and pulses, nuts, cereals and starchy foods. Fibre supplements, usually in the form of sachets of powder that you mix with water, are also available from pharmacists and health
food shops" - https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/diverticular-disease-and-diverticulitis/
If you've not taken inulin before then we recommend starting gradually with 1/4 tsp for 4 days, and increasing by 1/4 tsp every 4 days, until you're taking the recommend amount, or the amount you're comfortable with. This gives your digestive system time to get used to the extra soluble fibre.

11. Can inulin help memory?

According to new research Inulin Prebiotic fibre was shown have an effect on brain function in the over-60s in just 12 weeks.
Researchers concluded this was due a positive change in gut bacteria.
The study was conducted by King's College London and published in the journal Nature Communications (volume 15, Article number: 1859 (2024)).

12 Can I take Inulin if I'm Diabetic?

Inulin has a low glycaemic index, meaning it does not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar levels. Therefore, it is generally considered safe for people with diabetes.
Inulin is soluble fibre and 1tsp will provide 4.5g of fibre.
According to Diabetes.org.uk "increasing the amount of fibre in your diet can help you manage your diabetes." -
https://www.diabetes.org.uk/guide-to-diabetes/enjoy-food/carbohydrates-and-diabetes/fibre-and-diabetes
However we're not qualified to give medical advice and for specific health conditions do check with your GP first of all.

13. I'm on medication, can I take inulin?

We're not qualified to give medical advice regarding your medication, and you'll need to check with your GP or pharmacist first of all.

14. Is Inulin suitable for children?

Inulin is a source of soluble dietary fibre. The amount of fibre children need is listed on the NHS website as:
2 to 5 year-olds: need about 15g of fibre a day
5 to 11 year-olds: need about 20g
1 tsp of inulin will provide about 4.5g of fibre.
According to your child's diet you can see how much fibre they're getting and can supplement this with inulin.
For very young children, we would suggest starting with just 1/4 or 1/2 tsp to begin with.

"How To Stay Young"

In the BBC's "How to Stay Young" series, Angela Rippon was surprised to find high levels of visceral fat around her organs, including her heart and liver, despite having a good diet and exercising regularly.

Angela's doctor recommended inulin to help.

Important for your health

The NHS states: "Eating plenty of fibre is associated with a lower risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and bowel cancer... and can help digestion and prevent constipation."

Meeting your daily needs?

Yet, numerous people in the UK don't meet the recommended 30g of fibre per day, averaging only 18g.

A teaspoon of Inulin provides 4.5g of fibre, helping you reach your daily goal.

This is my second order plus I have ordered one for my daughter who has gut issues and she has just started taking it. Will report back or rather ask her to review it once she has taken it for a little while. It has worked well for me. I am a 78 female and had a very bloated stomach which has reduced a great deal. I feel I can trust this company and I have no reservations on any issues. Thank you for making these valuable supplements available at an affordable price.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is amazing. I've suffering for many many long years, with bloating, IBS, sleep issues from a condition called POTs and my 6 year old daughter has suffered with stomach issues needing medications too from the doctor's but both of us using this have stop medicine and have had remarkable results....totally life changer!! Anyone suggesting it's a scan, your wrong. It's truly amazing!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Highly recommend this product.I’m a chronic insomniac I’ve used this just the last three nights.I’ve gone from waking up at 3am & unable to get back to sleep that’s if I’d been lucky enough to actually sleep until 3am.To waking at 6am I’ve found if you do wake in the night it’s been easier to fall back to sleep. I’m so pleased with the results so far I stir the powder into warm milk anyway I just wanted to give some feedback X Ruby Ann Mann

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
arrived quickly. Will buy again., First time trying this. Love that it is all natural and organic too! a little pricey but has lasted a good two months with one person using. Husband tried for a few weeks, but upset his tummy a little. On googling I found that instructions to use the amount suggested may have been too much for him, so ease yourself into this gently if your delicate. He did report sleeping much better and so that was a bonus for him. I have not trouble sleeping but do have problems with regular toileting. This has helped a lot and I add to my smoothie every morning. Only thing to report it doesn't mix with liquid very well and can clump up but a good mix in the bullet helps. Love this stuff - really works

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I've been taking this for a while now, nearly finished my first packet. I don't know about the sleep, but it has certainly much improved my bowel movements, I have diverticular disease and it has helped me a lot. It took 3 to 4 weeks to settle my problems, but I'm so pleased by the results.
Bretton G.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It's stored in sturdy good quality packaging that's easy to reseal and the smell and taste is pleasant, very mild, so hardly noticeable.This is very easy to use and very easy to swallow. I've have noticed no unpleasant side affects and I found it easy to measure out the required amount thanks to how fine the fibre is.
Heather W.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It’s a fantastic product. I sprinkle a teaspoon onto my bedtime drink every night and it keeps my gut from flaring up. It helps my bowels become regular and my IBS very manageable. I’m 75 years of age and suffer from Osteoporosis and have had quite a few fractures in the last year. The pain killers affect the bowels so I’m very pleased with cixast.
Mavis B.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’ve been taking Inulin daily since Dr Michael Mosley’s programme. If it’s good enough for Angela, it’s good enough for me! I believe I am losing visceral fat as I am slowly losing weight, I also do gentle exercise. I can’t believe how quickly my order was dealt with: I ordered lunch time yesterday and it arrived in the post this morning. Thank you David, that’s efficiency!
