Apple pectin with Inulin 500 ml - water soluble prebiotic fibres to support the intestinal flora

Apple pectin with inulin (500 ml) contains two valuable, water-soluble prebiotic fibres: apple pectin and inulin. Both are fermentable fibres that reach the large intestine undigested, where they serve as a nutrient source for beneficial gut bacteria.

The product can be a good choice if you want to increase your water soluble fibre intake, to support the balance of your gut flora, or looking for a prebiotic fibre supplement to go with Herbafulvo products. Together, apple pectin and inulin provide a valuable supplement for the gut microbiome, bowel movements, fermentable fibre intake and gut comfort.

What is apple pectin?

The apple pectin is a Water-soluble dietary fibre from apples. Pectin forms a gel-like consistency in the intestine and serves as a fermentable nutrient for beneficial bacteria in the large intestine. During fermentation, short-chain fatty acids are formed, which play an important role in the functioning of the intestinal mucosa and flora.

One important property of pectin is that it water-soluble and easily fermentable fibre. This differentiates it from water-insoluble fibres, which tend to aid digestion by increasing volume. In contrast, apple pectin is linked to the support of the intestinal flora through the nutrient supply of intestinal bacteria.

What is inulin?

The inulin is a naturally occurring, water-soluble prebiotic fibre found mainly in Jerusalem artichokes, chicory and other plants. It is not broken down by human digestive enzymes in the small intestine and is passed on to the large intestine in an unaltered form.

In the large intestine, inulin acts as a nutrient for beneficial bacteria, particularly strains of the genera Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. Inulin therefore fits well into a diet designed to support gut flora, especially if your diet is low in fermentable fibre.

Apfelfaser and inulin together - two types of prebiotic fibre in one product

In Apple pectin with Inulin, pectin and inulin are used in complementary form. Apple pectin is a fermentable, gelatinous fibre derived from apples that binds to the intestinal mucosa and provides nutrients to intestinal bacteria. As a prebiotic fibre from Jerusalem artichokes, inulin provides an important fibre substitute for the proliferation of beneficial bacteria.

• Apple pectin: water-soluble, highly fermentable fibre associated with the support of intestinal flora and mucosa.
• Inulin: a resistant, prebiotic carbohydrate that reaches the large intestine in an unaltered form, where it is utilised by beneficial gut bacteria.
• Two types of prebiotic fibre: the apple-derived pectin and the Jerusalem artichoke-derived inulin together provide a more complete fibre replacement.

Why is water-soluble fermentable fibre important?

Water-soluble, fermentable fibres play an important role in providing nutrients to the gut flora. A low-fibre diet can result in less access to fermentable fibre for beneficial gut bacteria, which can affect the balance of the gut microbiome in the longer term.

Fermentable fibres are broken down by bacteria in the large intestine. This can produce short chain fatty acids such as butyric, acetic and propionic acids. These are substances associated with the functioning of the intestinal tract and intestinal mucosa, so adequate fibre intake is one of the foundations of a gut flora-centred diet.

A Pectin 10 g per day helps maintain normal blood cholesterol levels. From inulin 12 g per day contributes to normal bowel function by increasing the frequency of bowel movements.

Why is the purity of inulin important?

One of the best-known natural sources of inulin is Jerusalem artichokes. However, Jerusalem artichokes contain not only inulin, but also simple sugars and sugar alcohols. These can cause bloating or abdominal discomfort in some people.

Inulin used in our product high purity inulin from Jerusalem artichokes. This means that it is not Jerusalem artichoke syrup, but purified inulin. This is an important distinction, because the sugar and sugar alcohol content of Jerusalem artichoke syrup can cause a more unpleasant digestive reaction in many people.

How to consume it?

Recommended daily amount: daily 50-100 ml, depending on the daily fermentable fibre intake. If your diet is low in water-soluble fermentable fibre, 100 ml per day may be a more appropriate amount. If your daily intake of fibre from vegetables, fruits and other sources is already higher, 50 ml per day may be sufficient.

Always use the product with plenty of liquid Adequate fluid intake is particularly important for fibre preparations, because the water-binding properties of fibre mean that too little fluid can cause unpleasant digestive problems.
