“Consumption of FOS [Fructo-Oligio-Saccharide] from Chicory roots serves as a Prebiotics to support antipathogenic microbes in the large intestine. FOS acts by inhibiting pathogens and aiding in firm stool formation which helps overall gastrointestinal tract health.”

As pet parents, we know how important good digestive health is and how much of a problem bad digestion can be when it comes to bathroom time.  That being said, there’s more to chicory root. It contains insulin too.  This acts as a dietary fiber but it also provides a natural sweetness to foods which allows for a reduction in the amount of sugar and fat in food.  Insulin also has a low calorie content which can help with weight loss reduction.

On top of all of that, we source some of the best chicory root in the world from Belgium.  Why would we go to a lesser source?  It’s just another reason why PURELUXE provides Elite Nutrition and Complete Transparency.
