Prebiotic + Kefir = Reduced Inflammation (Study)

This is an interesting study. Small ‘N’ and some other questions but fount it worth looking at since I generally take a small amount of kefir (2 tbsp.) with an equally small amount of inulin (3g) each morning.

The study centers on a mixture of these prebiotics:

  • arabinoxylan and cellulose/hemicellulose from psyllium husk
  • beta glucans
  • chitin and mannan from maitake mushroom
  • arabinan from quinoa
  • fructooligosaccharides (FOS) from beetroot
  • glycyrrhizins and glycyrrhizin from liquorice root
  • isomaltooligosaccharide (IMO) from miso
  • pectin from orange peel
  • xylan and galactan from spirulina
  • resistant starch from arrowroot
  • inulin from chicory
  • xyloglucan from tamarind
  • xylo oligosaccharides (XOS) from rice bran
  • guar bean
  • galactooligosaccharides (GOS) from chickpeas

They were supplied by Complete Prebiotic Supplement | Chuckling Goat. The price seems high but there may be alternatives.
