Chicory is a plant in the dandelion family that usually has bright blue flowers. The root of the chicory plant is commonly ground to be used as a coffee substitute. All parts of the chicory plant have been shown to have positive health benefits due to the high levels of polyphenols and soluble dietary fiber which serves as a prebiotic.
Most of the health benefits of chicory root have been attributed to the prebiotic-nature of inulin. Inulin is a soluble fiber which cannot be broken down by our digestive enzymes.
Chicory root extract is an excellent prebiotic addition when following a ketogenic diet. Chicory root extract has been shown to improve the gut microbiome as well as other health benefits.
Chicory root extract has been shown to reduce inflammation in inflamed colon cells.
Research studies have shown that when glucose is consumed with chicory root extract, glucose absorption in the small intestine is reduced. This is attributed to the increased viscosity in the intestines from the chicory root extract.
