The Inulin and Oligofructose in BakeFlora™ products are non-digestible and serve as a r prebiotic, selective food source, to the "beneficial intestinal bacteria" (particularly Bifidobacteria and lactobacillus). This selective feeding helps the body maintain a balanced intestinal flora.

Intestinal flora provide many benefits including:

• Nutritionally support digestive transit time and thus support regularity
• Assist and strengthen the immune system
• Help protect the intestine through the barrier effect of Bifidobacteria
• Assist in controlling the formation of free radicals

In addition, the Bifidobacteria ferments the dietary fiber which produces short-chain fatty acids that may have beneficial effects, such as:

• Help provide B vitamins
• Help in the improved absorption of calcium
• Help balance lipid and cholesterol metabolism
