We feel fibre is the most undervalued macronutrient, and many people lack fibre in their diets. Fibre is essential for intestinal health and intestinal health is vital for overall health. Soluble and insoluble fibre help to support a healthy gut microbiome, digestive function as well as intestinal barrier function. In addition to natural fibre in cacao, we include chicory root fibre and inulin from the agave plant. Inulin is a prebiotic fibre that tends to shift the balance of the microbiome towards beneficial Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli. There is also evidence that it encourages satiety and suppresses appetite, leading to weight loss and natural reduction in food intake.
