Chicory Root
Dietary supplement, 120 capsules
Chicory Root / Chicory (root), 120 capsules, is a dietary supplement from the American company Nutricost. The product formula includes an extract from the root of the Chicory plant /Cichorium intybus/. It does not contain gluten and GMOs. The dietary supplement contributes to maintaining the normal state of the gastrointestinal tract.
Chicory root extract (Cichorium Intybus) is extracted from a perennial herbaceous plant in the dandelion family that usually has bright blue flowers. The root has a fibrous composition and is not digested in the small intestine, but instead maintains its structure as it moves to the large intestine. For this reason, chicory extract is a digestive tonic that is rich in fiber and stimulates intestinal peristalsis.
Chicory is used for loss of appetite, diarrhea, constipation, liver and gallbladder disorders, and arrhythmia. The extract acts as a diuretic and increases urine production, and also protects the liver from damage. The plant is a great source of several key nutrients, including fiber, vitamin B 6, and manganese. It also contains small amounts of other trace elements, such as vitamin C and potassium.
Health benefits:
Regular caffeine consumption, combined with stress, causes a significant increase in cortisol levels. Since chicory is caffeine-free, it is a great substitute to help you reduce your caffeine consumption and keep cortisol levels under control.
- Has anti-inflammatory properties
Chicory is a great source of plant polyphenols, natural compounds that have the ability to help fight inflammation. The extract can reduce inflammation, which is extremely important, as it is at the root of the development of most chronic diseases. Chicory root supports thyroid function and can relieve symptoms caused by autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto's disease, for example.
Chicory root extract can protect the body against the formation of free radicals to prevent possible liver toxicity. Chicory intake significantly reduces oxidative stress and blocks damage to liver cells.
- May prevent or delay the onset of diabetes mellitus
Chicory root extract improves levels of adiponectin, a protein that regulates blood sugar levels and the breakdown of fatty acids. This suggests that the extract may delay or prevent the early onset of diabetes, as well as improve gastrointestinal motility due to its fiber content.
- Supports the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract
Chicory root contains inulin, which is a prebiotic. Prebiotics can help promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut – this can not only have a positive effect on digestion, but can also boost immune function, optimize nutrient absorption and reduce inflammation.
