There are a couple of reasons why you might be wondering where you can get Inulin as shown below.

If you were watching the BBC TV program ‘How to Stay Young’ recently you may have seen a segment whereby Angela Rippon, who is 71 but in very good shape for her age, underwent an MRI scan to check her insides.

Although she had come out well in other tests, there was an obvious excess of visceral fat showing in the scan pictures both around her heart and in her abdomen, the levels she had were much higher than they should have been for her age group.

The results of having too much visceral fat can be very detrimental to your health – for example you have an increased risk of health problems such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease as well as strokes and dementia, and if you can it is worth trying to reduce the amount of visceral fat in your body.

As a result of this she was recommended by doctors to take inulin for 6 months to try and reduce the levels of visceral fat in her body. You can take inulin in powdered form and just add it to your food. So if you saw the program maybe you are wondering where can you get inulin?

Well you can get it at local specialist health food shops and you can also get it online. There is quite a wide selection of Inulin available from Amazon mostly in powdered form and in different quantities. Check out some of the links below for different options:

 

What is Inulin?

Inulin is a natural product that is found in plants. You can get the same effect as taking inulin by eating certain foods, however, if you wanted to have the same effect by eating things like chick peas and lentils, you would have to eat a very large quantity of them so perhaps the inulin supplement is the way to go.

It seems likely that a lot of us are carrying extra visceral fat that could be damaging our health but unfortunately we are unlikely to be able to have an MRI just to check the levels. But if you have a protruding abdomen and you are carrying extra weight around your belly then it is quite possible that you have too much visceral fat.

If this is the case then it is worth thinking about taking an inulin supplement to try and decrease those levels. You can add the powder to your food so that you don’t even notice that you are taking it.

Angela Rippon is now taking the supplement and it will be interesting to see if they do a follow up to see what kind of effect it has had on her visceral fat levels.

The Nemecheck Protocol

The other reason you might be wanting to get hold of Inulin is if you are thinking of following the Nemecheck protocol. This is a protocol of supplements that are supposed to help with non-verbal autistic children and getting them to speak. Inulin is part of that protocol.
