Inulin Powder (Orafti®) is a soluble prebiotic fiber extracted mainly from chicory root. Orafti® is a premium inulin brand produced by BENEO and is widely used in dietary supplements and functional foods to support gut health.

Main Benefits

• Supports the growth of beneficial gut bacteria such as Bifidobacteria.
• Helps improve bowel regularity and relieve constipation.
• Supports overall digestive health.
• May help with blood sugar management by slowing carbohydrate absorption.
• Can increase feelings of fullness, which may assist with weight management.
• May improve calcium absorption and support bone health.

Recommended Intake

• Start with 2–3 grams per day (about 1 teaspoon).
• If well tolerated, gradually increase to 5–10 grams per day.
• Some products recommend up to 12 grams per day, but beginners should start with a lower dose to minimize digestive discomfort.

How to Use It

Inulin powder can be mixed into:

• Water
• Coffee
• Tea
• Yogurt
• Smoothies
• Protein shakes

Possible Side Effects

Especially during the first few days of use, some people may experience:

• Bloating
• Gas
• Mild stomach discomfort

These effects are usually temporary and occur because gut bacteria ferment the fiber.

Who Can Benefit?

• People with constipation or irregular bowel movements.
• Individuals looking to improve gut health.
• Those wanting to increase their daily fiber intake.
• People managing appetite or body weight.

If you are considering Orafti® Inulin for a specific purpose such as constipation, blood sugar control, weight management, or adding it to food products, I can suggest a more suitable dosage and usage method for that goal.
