Facilities MaintenanceIngredion’s Nutraflora prebiotic fibre can offer many health benefits
Westchester, Ill. – Ingredion Incorporated, a provider of ingredient solutions, produces Nutraflora prebiotic fibre.
Just recently, the prebiotic fibre was approved by Health Canada as a dietary fibre source.
Nutraflora prebiotic fibre is a short-chain fructooligosaccharide (scFOS).
It’s derived from pure sugar cane using a bio-fermentation proprietary process and non-GMO ingredients.
It can improve calcium absorption, maintain proper digestive function and it can support immune system health.
Prebiotic fibres are non-digestible food ingredients that when consumed, provide a beneficial physiological effect by selectively stimulating the favourable growth and/or activity of a limited number of beneficial indigenous bacteria found naturally in the body’s intestines.
The company says Nutraflora’s consistent, simple molecular structure and 95 per cent concentration ensure that it is a very effective prebiotic fibre.
