	Alpine Ice - Inulin, a dietary fibre
		The inulin we use is a natural food ingredients extracted from the chicory root.
		Inulin is major constituent of some of the most famous of the "old-standby" herbs, such as burdock root, dandelion root, elecampane root, chicory root, and the Chinese herb codonopsis.
		Botanically, inulin is a storage food in the plants of the Composite family.

	Inulin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Inulins are polymers mainly comprised of fructose units and typically have a terminal glucose.
		Inulin is also a highly effective prebiotic, stimulating the growth of beneficial probiotic bacteria in the gut.
		Inulin, as it is neither secreted nor reabsorbed in the kidney, was historically used in an important medical test of renal function, specifically a measure of glomerular filtration rate, now largely measured by the creatinine clearance test.

	Inulin : by Ray Sahelian, M.D., benefits of inulin
		INULIN by Ray Sahelian, M.D. Inulin is a carbohydrate belonging to a class of compounds known as fructans.
		Fermentation of inulin -type fructans in the large bowel is a selective process; bifidobacteria (and possibly a few other genera) are preferentially stimulated to grow, thus causing significant changes in the composition of the gut microflora by increasing the number of potentially health-promoting bacteria and reducing the number of potentially harmful species.
		Inulin significantly increased bifidobacteria from 9.8 to 11.0 log10/g dry faeces and caused a moderate increase in gastrointestinal symptoms such as flatulence and bloatedness, whereas blood lipids and short-chain fatty acids remained essentially unaffected.

	Inulins
		Inulins are mainly comprised of fructose units and typically have a terminal glucose.
		Inulins have been found to lower serum triglycerides in rats, and there is some indication that they may lower serum triglycerides in some humans, as well.
		Inulins are fermented in the colon by bifidobacteria and some other bacteria to produce the short-chain fatty acids acetate, propionate and butyrate; the gases hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide and methane; and lactate, pyruvate and succinate.

	Inulin References - A Comprehensive Scientific Review
		Inulin from chicory is a mixture of oligomers and polymers of fructose having varying degrees of polymerization (DP), but typically having a DP range from three (corresponding to GF2) to about 60 with a modal chain length of approximately nine.
		As previously stated, inulin, as extracted from chicory root, is a polydisperse fructan with chain lengths ranging from 2 to 60 units with a modal DP of ± 9.
		Inulin was discovered by Rose, a German scientist, who in 1804 found "a peculiar substance" from plant origin in a boiling water extract from the roots of Inula helenium, a genus of perennial herbs of the group Compositae, natives of the temperate regions of Europe, Asia, and Africa (Goudberg, 1913).
