Inulin is a type of soluble dietary fiber and a fructan, found in many plants. It's a glucose polymer, often short-chain or long-chain, with different properties. Inulin is commonly used as a prebiotic, meaning it feeds beneficial gut bacteria, and is found in foods like chicory root, asparagus, and onions. It is also available as a supplement and has been studied for its potential effects on glucose regulation and cholesterol levels.
We started putting people on we took two common fibers arabinosylan and inulin which are these two uh just commonly used razylans and physium hus and it's associated with mezamucil and inulins and these chory pea fiber things.
""Dr. Michael Snyder discussed inulin as one of two common fibers they studied, noting its heterogeneous nature (short-chain vs. long-chain). He mentioned that inulin, as a supplement, showed varied effects on individuals, with some experiencing a decrease in cholesterol, highlighting the personalized response to different fiber types."
