Yacon
Brand: Hawaii Pharm
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
The primary active compound in Yacon Root Extract is Fructooligosaccharides (FOS). These are non-digestible carbohydrates that pass through the upper GI tract intact. Upon reaching the colon, they act as a potent prebiotic, fermenting to fuel beneficial bacteria like Bifidobacteria. This process promotes a healthy gut microbiome, improves mineral absorption, and supports cellular health in the intestinal lining.
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Supports a balanced gut microbiome
- Aids in digestive regularity and comfort
- May help maintain healthy blood sugar levels
- Contributes to immune system function
Usage & Safety
Shake well before use. The standard dosage is 0.7 mL, taken 2-3 times daily in a small amount of water or juice. For best absorption, take between meals. Always consult a physician before use, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have a known allergy to yacon. Do not use if the seal is broken.
