Inulin and oligofructose are dietary fibres extracted from the chicory root. These vegetable fibres are not digested in our stomach and small intestine and therefore have a reduced caloric input.

Unlike other food components such as fats, proteins or many carbohydrates - which your body breaks down and absorbs - fibre isn't digested by your body. Therefore, it passes virtually unchanged through your stomach and small intestine and is totally or partly used as a source of nutrients by the microflora of your colon (through fermentation).

A high-fibre diet is one of the pillars of any healthy nutrition, given that it brings a lower energy density, goes often hand in hand with a lower fat content and is higher in volume (meaning fewer calories for the same volume of food).

Therefore, regular intake of products with the BENEO™ label:

• promotes regular bowel movement
• improves intestinal health
• promotes a healthy digestive system
