In the BBCs' 'The Truth About Sleep', Dr Michael Mosley took Prebiotic Fibre to see if it could help promote better sleep (take 90 mins before bed), and improve gut bacteria.
And recent research* indicates that this positive change in gut bacteria may also have an effect on brain function associated with early signs of Alzheimer’s disease, in just 12 weeks.
As a self-confessed poor sleeper, Dr Mosley said:
"I would wake tired and irritable and began to dread going to sleep... I was convinced this disrupted sleep was rotting my brain and ageing my body."

After a 5-day experiment with prebiotic fibre for the BBC, Dr Mosley was so impressed by the improvements that he rated its effectiveness for enhancing his sleep 9 out of 10.
"Our insomniac tester could not wait to give it a go. Just a teaspoon daily in water 90 minutes before hitting the hay worked wonders and resulted in a truly restful night" -The Independent.
When you're well-rested and feeling your best, you're happier. You're more able to handle stress, and enjoy more fulfilling relationships with your family and friends.
Organic Inulin is a special type of solubledietary fibre, that our body doesn't digest.
“Inulin is a prebiotic that can help develop a microbiome and provide fuel for good bacteria to live in your gut. Eating inulin-rich foods can help your bacteria perform activities that keep your gut healthy.” -Dr Michael Mosley.
Good bacteria helps us to absorb more nutrients from the foods we digest. (1)
Probiotics are the live bacteria, the 'good' gut bacteria.
Inulin is a prebiotic and prebiotics are a type of fibre that our body doesn't digest.
Instead it reaches our gut (large intestine) and is fermented by good gut bacteria which feed from it and increase as a result.
We recommend taking 1 tsp (5g) per day, in a glass of water or milk.
It dissolves in liquid and can be added to most foods, including tea or coffee, as well as stirring into breakfast cereals.
For sleep, try taking 1 tsp in water or hot milk about 90 mins before bed.
If you've not used inulin before then we recommend starting off gradually:
Start with 1/4 tsp for 4 days, and increasing by 1/4 tsp every 4 days until you're taking 1tsp. This gives your digestive system time to get used to the extra soluble fibre.
We also recommend drinking more water throughout the day.
Inulin has a mild sweet taste.
Even though inulin is a type of fibre, it's unique is because it contains fructan. Fructan is a compound made from fructose, a kind of sugar. When you eat inulin, your body doesn't digest or absorb it. However, the sweet taste receptors on your tongue can sense the fructose, making it taste sweet.
But don't confuse it with sugar! Inulin isn't as sweet and its sweetness varies. The best part? Even though inulin tastes sweet due to its fructose content, it doesn't raise blood sugar levels because it isn't digested or absorbed by your body.
Inulin is packed in our certified organic production facility in the UK. It's derived from organic agave, a cactus like plant which is cultivated in Mexico.
It's certified by the Organic Food Federation in the UK, and displays the Organic Logo and license: GB-ORG-04.
Our Organic Food Federation licence is: 02045/21.
It's 100% pure organic inulin fibre, which is derived from organic agave. There are no added ingredients.
The shelf life is 18 months from production date if your pouch is unopened and stored in a dry, cool environment, away from direct sunlight. There is a best before date printed on the back label.
Once opened keep your inulin sealed in the pouch, or for ease of use you can store in an airtight jar or container and it can be stored in the cupboard.
Inulin is generally well-tolerated, but some people may experience mild digestive side effects, such as bloating, gas, and abdominal discomfort.
These side effects are typically more common when first introducing inulin to the diet and usually decrease over time.
Drinking more water during day can help with any bloating or gas.
Inulin is not suitable if you're on a low FODMAP diet (restricting the amount of certain ‘short-chain’ carbohydrates). You may experience increase wind and bloating.

If constipation is an issue with IBS then the NHS recommend increasing the amount of soluble fibre you eat, and Inulin is pure soluble fibre.
The NHS also recommend drinking more water which will help soften stools, and is also helpful when increasing your fibre intake.
If you've not taken inulin before then we recommend starting gradually with 1/4 tsp for 4 days, and increasing by 1/4 tsp every 4 days, until you're taking the recommend amount, or the amount you're comfortable with. This gives your digestive system time to get used to the extra soluble fibre.

Inulin is a soluble fibre, providing 4.5g of fibre in 1 tsp, and according to the NHS:
"Eating a high-fibre diet may help ease the symptoms of diverticular disease and stop you developing diverticulitis. Generally, adults should aim to eat 30g of fibre a day. Good sources of fibre include fresh and dried fruits, vegetables, beans and pulses, nuts, cereals and starchy foods. Fibre supplements, usually in the form of sachets of powder that you mix with water, are also available from pharmacists and health food shops” - https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/diverticular-disease-and-diverticulitis/

According to new research Inulin Prebiotic fibre was shown have an effect on brain function in the over-60s in just 12 weeks.
Researchers concluded this was due a positive change in gut bacteria.
The study was conducted by King's College London and published in the journal Nature Communications (volume 15, Article number: 1859 (2024)).
Inulin has a low glycaemic index, meaning it does not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar levels. Therefore, it is generally considered safe for people with diabetes.
Inulin is soluble fibre and 1tsp will provide 4.5g of fibre.

Inulin is a source of soluble dietary fibre. The amount of fibre children need is listed on the NHS website as:
2 to 5 year-olds: need about 15g of fibre a day
5 to 11 year-olds: need about 20g
1 tsp of inulin will provide about 4.5g of fibre.
According to your child's diet you can see how much fibre they're getting and can supplement this with inulin.
For very young children, we would suggest starting with just 1/4 or 1/2 tsp to begin with.
There are 50 x 5g teaspoon servings of Inulin in a 250g packet, and if you're taking 1 tsp a day the packet will last about 50 days.

Every Golden Greens packet is certifiedPlastic Neutral+ which means we're offsetting more plastic than we use, by preventing plastic waste from entering our seas.
We would switch to a biodegradable pouch tomorrow if we could, however for the time being they are not recyclable. Currently biodegradable materials are weaker and have a much shorter shelf-life.
These materials start to break down when they come into contact with moisture, making them unsuitable to store and protect organic food powders.

The NHS states: "Eating plenty of fibre is associated with a lower risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and bowel cancer... and can help digestion and prevent constipation."
Yet, numerous people in the UK don't meet the recommended 30g of fibre per day, averaging only 18g.
A teaspoon of Inulin provides 4.5g of fibre, helping you reach your daily goal.
