Thanks to its prebiotic properties, it can stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria in your body, helping create a healthy and balanced gut flora. It can also suppress your appetite, aid your weight management efforts, keep your blood sugar in check, protect against diabetes and lower your cholesterol.
