How much inulin and fructooligosaccharide can you eat every day

The dosage varies with age

1. Inulin is extracted from plants, which is not easy to be digested by gastric acid, but can be used by beneficial microorganisms to help improve the intestinal environment. Like our friends who are prone to constipation and poor defecation, daily intake of inulin can increase the frequency of defecation and promote defecation. Probiotics can be used together with prebiotics, which is conducive to the colonization and reproduction of probiotics in the intestine. For example, zangling stachyose is very good, which is very helpful for the quantification of probiotics in the body.

2. Fructooligosaccharides are also active substances, which are usually added to many dairy products, beverages, candy and biscuits to help increase the proportion of intestinal microbial population. Therefore, inulin and fructooligosaccharides are prebiotics and can be eaten together. The inulin content of healthy adults is generally 10 g, and that of adults with severe flora imbalance is 15-20 g per day. If both eat together, pay attention to control the total intake within 30 grams, do not overdose, so as not to cause changes in stool moisture and moisture.
