What is Inulin?
GutBasket Inulin is a premium prebiotic fibre from natural chicory root. It dissolves easily into everyday foods and drinks, and acts as food for the gut-friendly bacteria already living in your gut.
Prebiotic fibre
Inulin acts as food for gut-friendly bacteria, helping support a healthier gut environment.
Easy to mix
Add it to water, tea, coffee, smoothies, yogurt, oatmeal, soups or baked foods.
Naturally mild sweetness
Its light sweetness comes naturally from chicory root — no added sugar needed.
What it’s not
It’s not a probiotic (it feeds bacteria, it doesn’t add live ones), not a sweetener, and not a medicine. It’s a natural food fibre you can use every day.
Why does GutBasket Inulin taste mildly sweet?
Inulin’s gentle sweetness comes from the naturally occurring fructose and glucose in chicory root, released during a gentle process — so there’s no added sugar.
No added sugar
The light sweetness is naturally present from the chicory root source.

Start small and increase gradually
Inulin is a fermentable prebiotic fibre. For best comfort, start with a smaller amount and build up slowly based on your tolerance.
Inulin is a food ingredient, not a medicine. Some people may notice gas or bloating when starting any prebiotic fibre — reduce the amount and build up slowly. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or have a medical condition, consult a healthcare professional.
