The humble Chicory Root, hailing from the plant Cichorium intybus, is a versatile root that flourishes across North America. Recognized as one of the best sources of inulin, a naturally occurring prebiotic fiber, it bolsters the proliferation of beneficial gut bacteria. This unique phytochemical remains resistant to digestion in the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract, instead undergoing fermentation in the colon.
This process leads to an expansion of health-promoting bacterial colonies that convert inulin into beneficial short-chain fatty acids, supporting active absorption, improved bioavailability, and efficient energy utilization. Working synergistically with the unique compounds found in dandelion leaves and other botanicals in this blend, chicory root contributes to regular bowel movements and gut ecosystem modulation, fostering sustained energy levels over time.
