Concentrated sweet soluble fiber in the form of oligofructans (FOS) from chicory, which supports the balance of beneficial intestinal microflora and the proper functioning of the digestive system.
Oligofructans from chicory - sweet soluble fiber - more than just a prebiotic!
Sweet chicory fiber, a dietary supplement, is more than just a natural alternative to sugar. It is up to 90% pure oligofructans - natural prebiotic compounds, which support gut health and immunity. Their delicate, pleasant sweetness (approx. 50% sucrose strength) and soluble form make them extremely easy to use on a daily basis - both as a side dish and on their own.
Chicory root fiber - key properties of oligofructans
- Support intestinal flora - stimulate the growth of good bacteria (such as bifidobacteria).
- Natural regulation of digestion - relieve constipation and support intestinal peristalsis.
- Better absorption of minerals - increase bioavailability of calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc.
- Low calorie - virtually no calories and zero effect on blood sugar levels.
- Safe for diabetics and children - does not cause caries and does not raise glucose.
- Vegan, gluten-free and natural - no artificial additives or preservatives.
How to use oligofructans?
Oligofructans are resistant to high and low temperatures, making them an ideal addition to:
- smoothies, yogurts, oatmeal,
- baked goods and desserts,
- beverages like coffee or tea,
- fruit preparations,
- children's dishes - such as sprinkles on waffles or pancakes,
- and wherever we would normally use sugar.
You can also consume them on their own - when you take a heaping teaspoon in your mouth, they turn into a sweet, soft candy. This way is especially liked by children.
Chicory fiber - recommended daily serving
As little as 10 grams per day (measuring cup in the package) is enough to enjoy the beneficial prebiotic effects. People with sensitive digestive systems should start with a smaller portion and gradually increase the dose.

Oligofructans are a natural fraction of soluble fiber commonly found in fruits and vegetables, such as beets, chicory, asparagus, garlic, onions, tomatoes, as well as in wheat, barley or honey.
Soluble fiber is characterized by a pleasant sweetness, has about 50% the intensity of table sugar (sucrose). Like any fiber, it offers a number of health-promoting benefits to the human body.
Oligofructans are not absorbed by the body, so they do not raise blood sugar levels and - like insoluble fiber - are are classified as calorie-free ingredients. However, like insoluble fiber, they can be digested by probiotic bacteria in the large intestine, so they can act as a prebiotic.
