Apple fibre is the basis of the product: it creates volume in the stomach, slows down its emptying and helps keep hunger at bay for longer. But the other two components each add something of their own.
- Jerusalem artichoke contains inulin — a soluble dietary fibre classed as a prebiotic. Prebiotics are not digested in the upper intestine but reach the large intestine, where they serve as food for beneficial bacteria. Apple fibre partly performs this function too, so in this blend both components work in the same direction — supporting conditions for a normal gut flora. Inulin from Jerusalem artichoke also has a gentle effect on peristalsis, which may be relevant if you are prone to irregular bowel movements.
- Goji berries are included as a source of natural antioxidants. Antioxidants are substances that help neutralise free radicals and reduce oxidative stress in cells. Goji is traditionally used in blends for an active lifestyle for exactly this reason, not just for the taste.
As a result, the blend covers several aspects at once: satiety, support for the gut flora and antioxidant content — which makes it more versatile than a simple fibre powder.
