Organic Inulin Prebiotic Pure Powder | Blue Agave FOS, Now Foods

Now Foods Organic Inulin Prebiotic Pure Powder — 2.8g of certified organic inulin (FOS) from blue agave per teaspoon, a pure single-ingredient prebiotic fibre that selectively nourishes beneficial gut bacteria, supports short-chain fatty acid production, and promotes intestinal health, with a mild natural sweetness and very low glycemic index.

Why

Inulin is a naturally occurring fructooligosaccharide (FOS) — a type of soluble dietary fibre found in many plants, most concentrated in chicory root and blue agave. Unlike most carbohydrates, inulin is resistant to digestion in the small intestine — it passes through essentially intact and arrives in the large intestine, where it becomes food for the beneficial bacteria that live there. When probiotic bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium ferment inulin, they produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) — particularly butyrate, propionate, and acetate. These SCFAs are the primary energy source for the cells lining the colon, supporting the integrity of the intestinal barrier, reducing gut inflammation, and maintaining healthy bowel function. By selectively feeding beneficial bacteria, inulin helps shift the balance of the gut microbiome in favour of health-promoting species — supporting digestive regularity, immune function, and mineral absorption. This inulin is sourced from certified organic blue agave (Agave tequilana) — a clean, plant-based source with a mild, pleasant sweetness and a very low glycemic index, making it suitable for those managing blood sugar levels. It dissolves easily in liquids and can be added to foods without significantly affecting flavour. Available in 227g and 454g sizes.
