Chicory Root Fiber
Chicory root fiber delivers inulin prebiotics—effective in small doses but prone to gas when supplements or bars stack concentrated amounts.
Chicory root fiber is mostly inulin—a soluble prebiotic added to bars, coffee substitutes, and supplements. It feeds gut bacteria and can blunt glucose spikes when tolerated, but large doses cause gas and urgency in FODMAP-sensitive people.
Start with food sources like chicory greens before concentrated powders.
