History and Usage:

Inuflora® is an all-natural prebiotic that supports colon functioning and mineral absorption. Prebiotics are non-digestible fibers that are the energy source for beneficial bacteria in the colon which help break down carbohydrates in the diet. These are wiped out during a course of antibiotic therapy. The absence of these beneficial bacteria can cause diarrhea and other problems.

Reseeding the intestine with these bacteria requires a food source for them. Inuflora, derived from the Jerusalem artichoke, is processed so as to create a mix of short-, medium- and long-chain inulin molecules, which are types of polysaccharides (simple sugars that are linked together). Inuflora also contains potassium, a mineral excreted in excessive amounts during bouts with diarrhea. Potassium is used by the body in regulating nerve impulses and blood pressure as well as other processes.
