MODERATE EVIDENCESupplementLast updated

AVELOR SUMMARY

Chicory root is the primary commercial source of inulin — the prebiotic fiber that feeds Bifidobacterium. Contains 15-20% inulin by weight. Dose: 5-10g/day inulin increases Bifidobacterium by 5-10x within 2 weeks. Also contains chicoric acid (antioxidant, anti-diabetic). GI tolerance is the limiting factor — start at 3g/day and titrate up. Chicory root coffee substitute provides therapeutic inulin doses. --- *Reviewed by the Dose AI Research Team and Clinical Advisory Board* *Last updated: 2026-04-06*
