- Is this a probiotic or a prebiotic?
- It is a prebiotic. Chicory inulin is fiber that feeds the bacteria already in your gut. It does not contain live bacteria, so it does not replace a probiotic.
- How does it compare with inulin powder?
- Powder delivers more fiber per scoop and is usually cheaper per gram. Capsules are easier to carry and take without mixing, but you get less fiber per serving.
- Will it cause gas or bloating?
- Inulin can cause gas, cramping and bloating, especially when you start. Begin with one capsule and increase slowly, and stop if symptoms persist.
- Is it gluten free?
- Yes, it is labeled gluten free. Check the label if you have celiac disease or a severe sensitivity, since certification is not stated.
- How many capsules are in a bottle?
- The bottle holds 60 capsules. Follow the serving size on the label to see how long a bottle lasts.
- Can I take it with a probiotic?
- Yes. Prebiotic fiber and probiotics are often combined, and inulin feeds several probiotic strains. Space them out if you get digestive discomfort.

- At Nordstrom, for $26.99, as of our latest check.
