What is agave inulin?

Agave inulin is a soluble dietary fiber powder extracted from the blue agave plant (Agave tequilana). It is composed of fructans, which are long chains of fructose molecules linked together in a way that human digestive enzymes cannot break down.

Because human enzymes do not digest it, agave inulin passes into the large intestine, where it acts as a prebiotic. Prebiotics feed beneficial gut bacteria like Bifidobacteria, supporting digestive health and gut microbiome balance. Agave inulin has a mild, subtle sweetness and low glycemic impact, making it popular as a fiber supplement or ingredient in health foods, powders, and beverages.
