Arrabina™-P promoted greater diversity of beneficial bacteria at a lower dose than inulin in an in-vitro gut simulation study.³ Greater microbiome diversity has been shown to be correlated with certain health benefits.⁵ ⁶ ⁷
Arrabina™-P promotes the production of short chain fatty acids in the gut, much like other prebiotic fibres. One study demonstrated that Arrabina™-P produces more propionate when compared to inulin.³ Propionate has been associated with improved gut integrity, reduced inflammation, and potential benefits for healthy glucose support and weight management.⁵ ⁸
In one study, gas production after consuming Arrabina™-P was similar to placebo making it more tolerable than other fibres such as inulin.4 Better tolerability means multiple servings can be taken throughout the day to help meet fibre requirements without the downside of inulin-like prebiotic fibres such as gas, bloating and gastrointestinal upset. Arrabina™-P is gluten-free and low FODMAP (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols).
