Sensus, which produces and markets dietary fibre ingredient inulin, says it has scientifically proved that as little as 5g a day is enough to increase the presence of "good" bacteria in the gut.

Research by Dr Kolida at the University of Reading's School of Food Biosciences has shown that Frutafit inulin supplied by Sensus significantly increases the bifidobacterium content in the human colon at around 5g-8g intake per day.

The company says the results back up claims such as "prebiotic" and "supports intestinal balance", which when used on products containing its soluble prebiotic fibres Frutafit inulin or Frutalose oligiosaccharide, can give a point of difference.
