Jerusalem Artichoke Flour with probiotics to improve digestion

Jerusalem Artichoke Flour has provided a superb source of probiotics in the form of a supplement designed to support the growth of bifidobacteria, the most predominate intestinal flora in the digestive tract. Jerusalem Artichokes and jerusalem artichoke flour has been specially processed to preserve long chained polymers known as fructooligosaccharides (FOS). FOS cannot be metabolized by either human digestive enzymes or most undesirable gut microorganisms, but encourage the growth of bifidobacteria.

In Japan, FOS has been successfully marketed because it has been shown to reduce constipation, blood pressure, blood lipids and cholesterol in humans. Further studies reported by Yamashita etal. report the effects of fructooligosaccharides on blood glucose and serum lipids in diabetic subjects. Daily intake of 8.Og/day of fructooligosaccharides for 14 days significantly reduced mean fasting blood glucose levels by 15 mg/dl, mean serum total cholesterol levels by 19 mg/dl and LDL cholesterol levels by 17 mg/dl in 18 diabetic subjects. New Spirit's Jerusalem Artichoke Flour not only provides a rich source of FOS, but also provides your system with a rich source of Probiotics.

What are Probiotics?

Millions and millions of microorganisms have been shown to work simultaneously and synergistically, assisting in the metabolism of partially digested food in the intestines. Probiotics aid in this effore. These organisms are essential in maintaining a healthy intestine with its critical balance between beneficial bacteria, such as lactobacillus and bifidus, and pathogenic organisms like streptococci, clostridium, chloroform and bacteroids. Jerusalem artichoke flour is known to benefit probiotics.
