Inulin is a plant-derived polysaccharide belonging to the group of dietary fibers. It is widely used in food production, enhances the absorption of calcium and magnesium, and supports intestinal microbiota balance by promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. Inulin may be used as part of комплексной терапии intestinal dysbiosis.
Dietary fibers containing inulin-type fructans have been shown to reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels, thereby contributing to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. At daily doses ranging from 15 to 50 grams, dietary inulin effectively normalizes gut microbiota composition and supports intestinal health. However, as a dose-dependent side effect, increased stool frequency and gastrointestinal discomfort, including bloating and abdominal distension, may occur. Through its positive effects on metabolic parameters and gut microbial homeostasis, inulin supports physiological adaptability and may therefore be classified as a proresilient substance rather than a cellular chronoblocker.
