FIBROFOS™ 60
Chicory root powder
Chicory root fibre with 60% inulin for digestive support
FIBROFOS™ 60, chicory root powder, is a plant-based ingredient made from dried and ground chicory roots. It contains approximately 60% inulin, together with other naturally occurring fibres, including cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin. It also provides characteristic chicory compounds such as chlorogenic acid and sesquiterpene lactones. This distinctive composition combines the nutritional value of inulin with the broader fibre profile and natural functionality of the whole chicory root.
Nutritional & functional benefits
Gut microbiota support
In monogastric animals, inulin reaches the large intestine, where it is selectively fermented by the gut microbiota, supporting beneficial bacteria and the production of short-chain fatty acids.
Digestive support
The combination of inulin, structural fibres and naturally occurring chicory compounds supports digestive comfort.
Broader nutritional profile
Chlorogenic acid and sesquiterpene lactones complements the nutritional profile of FIBROFOS™ 60 and contributes to liver balance.
