I see it contains inulin, a type of fibre. What does this actually mean for me when I drink it?

The main value of chicory comes from its root, which naturally contains inulin. Inulin is a soluble dietary fibre. In practical terms, this means it isn't digested like sugars or starches in the upper digestive tract. Instead, it passes further into the gut.

There, inulin can act as a prebiotic—it serves as a food source for the beneficial bacteria that are part of your gut microbiota. Supporting these bacteria is one reason why chicory drinks are often appreciated as a gentle addition to a balanced daily diet, alongside their flavour.

It's good to know that because it is a fibre, starting with a moderate amount is sensible, especially if your diet isn't typically high in fibre. A larger serving might feel heavy for some people initially. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any disease and is not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet.
