What health agencies say
An opinion says what the agency recommends; it is not a rule binding on the product.
AFSSA (now ANSES) considered it useful to inform consumers that excessive intake of inulin may cause intestinal disorders, and advised against promoting supplements with a high inulin content.
What we know about this ingredient
A molecule found naturally in plants or organisms; in a supplement it may be extracted from them, made by fermentation or synthesised: the declaration does not say which.
