In plain language
Here's what it does, without complex words.
A soluble dietary fiber (prebiotic).
The body does not digest it, it reaches the large intestine intact.
There it serves as food for the “good” bacteria (Bifidobacteria, Lactobacilli).
Natural source:
Inulin is a natural fiber found in chicory root, artichoke, onion, garlic, leek and bananas. Ours is extracted from chicory root (Cichorium intybus), the most concentrated source. Micronized inulin dissolves quickly and has no earthy taste.
Why inulin is in Corti-Glow
Every ingredient in Corti-Glow has a specific reason.
70% of serotonin is produced in the gut. A healthy gut flora = a more stable mood.
Stress damages the gut flora, inulin helps restore it.
It also acts as a carrier in the sachet, helping the other ingredients dissolve and absorb.
How it works on the body
Mechanism, step by step.
1Feeds the good bacteria
Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli ferment inulin, they grow and outcompete the bad bacteria.
2Produces short-chain fatty acids
Fermentation yields butyrate, acetate and propionate, they feed the cells of the gut and have an anti-inflammatory effect.
3Supports the gut-brain axis
A healthy gut flora influences the vagus nerve, a direct connection to the brain and mood.
4Enhances calcium and magnesium absorption
Adding inulin increases the absorption of the minerals in the sachet.
What to expect
Realistic timeframes, not promises.
First 3–5 days · Inulin
Mild gas, a normal adaptation of the gut flora. Drink more water.

1 week
More regular digestion. Bloating decreases.
2–4 weeks
The gut flora balances. Digestion stabilizes.
How it works with the other ingredients
7 ingredients in Corti-Glow. Here's the mechanism why they work together.
Not just 7 supplements in one box. Every combination has a specific mechanism, here's why the formula is what it is.
Combination
Inulin + Magnesium
+ Magnesium Bisglycinate · 670 mg
For sleep and muscle relaxation
Mechanism
In the Coxam (2007) trial, inulin increased magnesium absorption by 12% in women. Gut bacteria ferment inulin into short-chain fatty acids, which improve the permeability of the gut lining for minerals.
End benefit
Every sachet actually delivers more magnesium to the cells. It doesn't pass through the gut, it reaches the brain and the muscles.

Frequently asked questions
About inulin.
Why does it make me bloated in the first days?+
That's normal. The gut flora is “feeding” on a new substrate and temporarily produces more gas. Within 3–5 days the body adapts. Drink more water and cut the sachet down to half a dose in the first week if it's strong.
Is it OK with IBS (irritable bowel syndrome)?+
Inulin is a FODMAP, it can worsen symptoms in people with IBS. Start with a quarter sachet and watch your reaction. With SIBO (bacterial overgrowth), avoid it.
Why so much, 2500 mg?+
2500 mg (2.5 g) is the lower bound for a prebiotic effect. Trials usually use 5–10 g, but we don't want to trigger strong gas discomfort, 2.5 g is a balance between effect and comfort.
