Inulin is a soluble fibre found in chicory root, known in India as kasani. It is a prebiotic, meaning it is not digested by you but feeds the bacteria already living in your gut.

As a prebiotic fibre, inulin supports the growth of helpful gut bacteria. This is a different job from a probiotic, which adds bacteria rather than feeding the ones you have.

Chicory root has been used traditionally for digestion and liver support, which is why it sits in Liv-It-Up alongside milk thistle, dandelion and triphala rather than in a standalone gut formula.

One serving of Liv-It-Up (2 capsules) gives 50 mg of kasani (chicory) root extract, inulin. This is a supporting amount within a 17-ingredient liver formula, not a standalone fibre dose.

Liv-It-Up: one capsule after each of two meals, usually after breakfast and after lunch.

Give it at least 3 months of daily use, alongside a lighter diet, limited alcohol and good hydration.

Every batch comes with a Certificate of Analysis, a lab report confirming what is inside. The finished product is also tested at a NABL-accredited lab for heavy metals and microbes. See the current batch report on the Liv-It-Up page.

Speak to your doctor first if you are pregnant or nursing, take regular medication, or have a liver condition. Some people new to prebiotic fibre notice mild bloating at first. Keep out of reach of children.
