We recommend taking 1 tsp (5g) per day, in a glass of water or milk.

It dissolves in liquid and can be added to pretty much anything, including tea or coffee, as well as stirring into breakfast cereals. 

For sleep, try taking 1 tsp in water or hot milk about 90 mins before bed. 

If you've not used inulin before then we recommend starting off gradually:

Start with 1/4 tsp for 4 days, and increasing by 1/4 tsp every 4 days until you're taking 1tsp. This gives your digestive system time to get used to the extra soluble fibre. 

We also recommend drinking more water throughout the day. 

Inulin has a mild sweet taste.

Even though inulin is a type of fibre, it's unique is because it contains fructan. Fructan is a compound made from fructose, a kind of sugar. When you eat inulin, your body doesn't digest or absorb it. However, the sweet taste receptors on your tongue can sense the fructose, making it taste sweet.

But don't confuse it with sugar! Inulin isn't as sweet and its sweetness varies. The best part? Even though inulin tastes sweet due to its fructose content, it doesn't raise blood sugar levels because it isn't digested or absorbed by your body.

It's 100% pure organic inulin fibre, which is derived from organic agave. There are no added ingredients. 

Inulin is generally well-tolerated, but some people may experience mild digestive side effects, such as bloating, gas, and abdominal discomfort.

These side effects are typically more common when first introducing inulin to the diet and usually decrease over time.

Drinking more water during day can help with any bloating or gas.

If constipation is an issue with IBS then the NHS recommend increasing the amount of soluble fibre you eat, and Inulin is pure soluble fibre.

The NHS also recommend drinking more water which will help soften stools, and is also helpful when increasing your fibre intake.  

If you've not taken inulin before then we recommend starting gradually with 1/4 tsp for 4 days, and increasing by 1/4 tsp every 4 days, until you're taking the recommend amount, or the amount you're comfortable with. This gives your digestive system time to get used to the extra soluble fibre. 

Inulin is not suitable if you're on a low FODMAP diet (restricting the amount of certain ‘short-chain’ carbohydrates). You may experience increase wind and bloating.

Inulin is a source of soluble dietary fibre. The amount of fibre children need is listed on the NHS website as:

2 to 5 year-olds: need about 15g of fibre a day 

5 to 11 year-olds: need about 20g 

11 to 16 year-olds: need about 25g

1 tsp of inulin will provide about 4.5g of fibre. 

According to your child's diet you can see how much fibre they're getting and can supplement this with inulin.  

For very young children, we would suggest starting with just 1/4 or 1/2 tsp to begin with. 

Yes, Inulin is vegan friendly.
