Natural prebiotic fibre from organic agave with high purity (90%) – balanced support of the gut microbiota
Inulin is a prebiotic dietary fibre naturally found in various plants. Like all dietary fibres, it contributes to the daily intake of fibre in the diet. On the European market, inulin is often derived from chicory, which is typically cultivated under controlled conditions. EnergyBalance® inulin, by contrast, stands out for its origin from organic agave grown outdoors, following a more natural and sustainable approach.
A key factor in assessing the quality of inulin is its purity level: many products on the market contain only 50–70% fibre. EnergyBalance® has selected a raw material with 90% dietary fibre, ensuring a more concentrated intake.
Inulin belongs to the family of fructans, polysaccharides composed of fructose units (fructooligosaccharides – FOS). This structure gives it a naturally mild sweet taste, despite being a fibre.
During the extraction process, residual components cannot be completely removed: in a high-quality product like this, the composition consists of 90% fibre and around 10% residual components. The fibre content is therefore the key parameter in defining inulin purity.
As a dietary fibre, inulin is not digested in the stomach and reaches the intestine intact. There, it is used by intestinal microorganisms, particularly bifidobacteria.
This process is known as the bifidogenic effect and represents one of the main characteristics of prebiotic fibres: they serve as a substrate for the gut microbiota.
A balanced gut microbiota is considered an important factor for overall well-being.
Take 1–2 scoops daily dissolved in water. A 6 g measuring scoop is included in the package.
The intake of dietary fibre such as inulin may require, especially in the initial phase, a temporary adaptation of the body. In some cases, the following may occur:
These effects are generally temporary and tend to decrease with continued use. For better tolerability, it is recommended to start with smaller amounts and gradually increase the dosage.
EnergyBalance® inulin is obtained from organic agave, cultivated under natural conditions and processed according to high quality standards.
300 g of organic agave inulin powder.
Is inulin a fibre or a sugar?
Inulin is a dietary fibre belonging to the fructan group (FOS). Despite its slightly sweet taste, it is not digested like sugar.
What is the difference between agave and chicory inulin?
The main difference lies in the source and production process. EnergyBalance® agave inulin comes from organic outdoor cultivation, while chicory inulin is often obtained from industrial farming.
Why is purity important?
Purity indicates the actual percentage of fibre contained in the product. A value of 90% ensures a higher intake compared to products with lower purity.
Can inulin cause bloating?
In some individuals, especially at the beginning, it may cause mild bloating or increased gas production. These effects are usually temporary and related to the adaptation of the gut microbiota.
How should inulin powder be taken?
It can be added to drinks, yoghurt or foods. It is recommended to start with small amounts and increase gradually.
