	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.

	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.
