What is chicory root inulin?
Inulin is a soluble fiber found naturally in chicory root, among other plants. As a prebiotic, it isn't digested by the body directly — instead, it feeds beneficial bacteria in the colon.
Why is it associated with satiety?
Research has studied inulin's association with satiety hormones including GLP-1 and PYY, both of which play a role in feelings of fullness after eating.
What does the research say?
Studies have examined inulin's effects on gut bacteria composition and post-meal satiety signaling, contributing to its common inclusion in gut-health formulas.
