Adding to a healthy digestion
A good digestion is vital for a healthy life as it helps our body to absorb all the nutrients it needs to run smoothly.
BENEO offers prebiotic dietary fibres which help to improve digestive health, support weight management and enhance calcium absorption for bone health.
While prebiotic fibres occur in vegetables such as artichoke, asparagus, leek, onion and garlic, chicory root is a particularly rich source for these substances.
That’s why BENEO gently extracts its prebiotic fibre range from chicory root. Oligofructose reflects a specific part of Inulin, it is of shorter chain length (to put it simple). It is commercially gained by enzymatic break down of inulin. Synergy1 however is an inulin enriched with oligofructose and has shown positive effects on calcium absorption for bone health.
