About this item:
Inulin, a fructooligosaccharide (FOS), is a soluble prebiotic fiber that is resistant to digestion and reaches the large intestine essentially intact.* Intestinal probiotic bacteria consume Inulin and in turn, produce the short-chain fatty acids that nourish the cells lining the colon.* Inulin thus helps to maintain intestinal health and function.* Inulin has a pleasant flavor that adds a mild sweetness to foods and drinks, but has a very low glycemic index and will not negatively impact serum glucose levels.* This product is sold by weight not volume. Natural color variation may occur in this product.

A female Dr. from India, while in the hospital, told me about this product. It is the only product that has helped to regulate my bowels! Great product and worth it!!
5.0 out of 5 stars Taking for my brain. ABSOLUTELY tasteless. Excellent value.
After seeing a few articles describing the cognitive benefits to Inulin Fructo-oligosaccharide I opted to give it a try to see if it could help with my deteriorating memory. A study conducted at London's Crown College found that cognitive test scores of elderly patients improved after 12 weeks on this supplement. This may seem odd for a digestion supplement but there have been a number of discoveries in the last few years concerning the connection between gut health and brain function. Apparently this stuff feeds some normal variety(ies) of gut bacteria that produce some compound that crosses the blood/brain barrier and does your grey matter a good turn. The study also found and noted that it had no other benefits at all as I assume this stuff was previously being marketed under other claims.I started off with capsules. Though large, they were easy to swallow. I noticed no effect from them whatsoever good or bad, though they only last 4 weeks. I went to a 1 pound bottle of powder this time and have continued for another ten days or so. I have only my subjective opinion to rely on, but I feel as if I am seeing some small improvements in my memory: name recall, function recall, processing, etc. This time it seems as if use of the powder may have slightly increased flatulence (farting) but not problematically so and even if it was the Inulin, the effect is fading off. The powder is ASTOUNDINGLY tasteless. Last night I dissolved two heaping teaspoons in perhaps 5 ounces of warm water and when I drank it, it tasted EXACTLY like a glass of water. The water does not need to be warm - I was only trying to enhance and detect the taste of the stuff. The powder is extremely fine and dissolves quite readily. And I have mixed it in my morning coffee, juice and water. It would be perfect in smoothies if you're into those - I'm just too lazy for that.This powder was less than half the price/gram of the capsules I was taking and so I regard it as an excellent value. My deteriorating memory has been a major concern for me and the lack of effective therapies was distressing. This seems like a very low risk possibility with some valid science behind it. I plan to continue to take this stuf for 6 - 9 months before deciding whether or not I discern a valid, objective benefit. If I'd had some sort of baseline cognitive testing that I could repeat, I would test after 12 weeks to see if there were anything detectable happening. There is always the placebo effect but I do my best not to let my hopes and expectations hold sway. However, finding something that even suggests a valid possibility of therapeutic benefit improves my outlook on the future and I can't deny that is an enjoyable change. I will buy Inulin again and I will very likely buy it from NOW supplements.
5.0 out of 5 stars This Stuff is Delicious and Is Great for Making "Super Gut" Probiotic Yogurt
The media could not be loaded. I buy a lot of NOW products. They are a very good value from a brand I trust to deliver exactly what's on the label. I like how this inlulin is certified organic, tastes great and makes amazing yogurt.I learned to make powerful probiotic yogurt from the book "Super Gut" but my yogurt maker included all the instructions and recipes needed to turn a single capsule of probiotics into trillions of live microbes.Inulin is a key ingredient to successfully ferment probiotics at home. I mix 2 tablespoons of inulin with a capsule of probiotics and a quart of organic half-and-half cream. I typically set the yogurt maker for 36 hours at 99 degrees and it comes out AMAZING!The inulin powder on its own though is sweet and delicious. It's like candy for someone like me who eats healthy and avoids sugar.
5.0 out of 5 stars Satisfied with results
I purchased this after reading about the Kings College study on improved cognitive ability. I chose this product because it's made and packaged in the US. I've never taken a supplement before and have always been skeptical of them since they have no FDA regulation. I did not experience gastric discomfort others reported. I only take one teaspoon per day. After a couple months of use I had a physical and my LDL dropped from 115 to 104. Don't know if this is responsible but it's the only real change.
4.0 out of 5 stars It works for my digestive system
I have tried many "fibers" to straighten out my digestive system. It works well. The only slight negative part is it doesn't dissolve and leaves small clumps sometimes. It dissolves in hot/warm liquid and cooks well without changing taste or texture. It takes a little effort to dissolve it in cold liquid, but achievable. I make iced tea with it and drink it all day and every day. It doesn't make me gassy like some other "fibers"
5.0 out of 5 stars So far so good
There doesn’t seem to be much of a flavor, no smell. Love that this is organic don’t have to worry about a whole bunch of unknown ingredients and chemicals.It has already been actually helping my daughter stomach, starting to go number two more often already, only have been using this for a few days now. I usually put a scoop of it into chocolate milk, once I mix it into the milk it kind of has a texture of wet cornstarch, so took a little bit extra work mixing, maybe if you do have a froth or or a type of tool like that will mix much better.I think it’s better to use this instead of other known probiotics.
5.0 out of 5 stars Worked as intended.
Used for yogurt making and it did it's job. Had attempted making it without the inulin and didn't work, added a tablespoon of the inulin to a liter of milk and culture and voila, perfect yogurt.
3.0 out of 5 stars Excellent+ product, but packaging could be improved
I really like this product. It dissolves easily, and actually positively affects the flavor of the food you add it to. I’ve had no negative side effects and it’s really improved my regularity.But, the plastic container it comes in is poor. The opening is small and makes it difficult to scoop out the product when it’s not full. The snap on lid is not easily closed and doesn’t stay closed. A wide mouth container with a screw top would be a big improvement.
