Chicory Root Inulin is a prebiotic fiber extracted from the chicory plant's root, and at 211mg it's the largest single ingredient in SodaTide by weight.
Inulin isn't digested by the body directly; instead it passes through to the colon, where it becomes food for beneficial gut bacteria, helping them grow and function.
It's one of the most studied prebiotic fibers generally, with a substantial research base tied to digestive regularity and supporting a healthy balance of gut flora.
Where it sits in the formula: one of three ingredients in SodaTide, alongside Potato Resistant Starch, Probiotic Blend.
