Smart carbohydrate and fibre solutions that support weight management
BENEO’s functional ingredients contribute to weight management by calorie reduction, sugar and fat replacement, increased GLP-1 release, increased fat oxidation, satiety levels and low postprandial blood glucose response.
Palatinose™ is a low-glycaemic, slow-release carbohydrate that is digested gradually, resulting in a steady blood glucose and insulin response. This supports fat burning in contrast to high-glycaemic sugars and carbohydrates. The slower release of glucose also leads to a sustained and higher release of the beneficial gut hormone GLP-1, known for its role in regulating appetite and metabolism. Compared to sucrose and other high-glycaemic carbohydrates, Palatinose™ provides a metabolic advantage, including improved weight management.

Support for natural and GLP-1-assisted approaches
Effective weight management involves much more than weight loss alone. It’s about maintaining energy levels, supporting digestion, preserving muscle mass and feeling good. BENEO’s ingredients contribute to each of these goals: Palatinose™ ensures steady energy and balanced blood glucose, Orafti® fibres promote satiety and digestive comfort, Orafti® β-Fit supports heart and digestive health, and plant proteins sustain muscle mass. Together, they support natural and GLP-1-assisted approaches for overall well-being.
Infographic: Strongest available science confirms weight management support by chicory root fibres
Results from a systematic review with meta-analysis
The prebiotic chicory root fibres, inulin and oligofructose, are selectively fermented by bifidobacteria in the colon. This fermentation produces short-chain fatty acids, which play a role in enhancing satiety and reducing energy intake, supporting weight management. A growing body of evidence from human studies, including a recent systematic review with meta-analyses, confirms the role of chicory root fibre in promoting body weight reduction. These findings are further backed by mechanistic studies that underline its efficacy in weight management.
