Inulin is a fermentable prebiotic fiber (from chicory root and many plants) that your gut bacteria ferment into butyrate and other short-chain fatty acids, selectively feeding Bifidobacteria.
Human trials show inulin reliably increases beneficial Bifidobacteria and can modestly improve metabolic markers; dietary fiber broadly is linked to lower mortality. Inulin-specific trial effects are modest and it commonly causes gas/bloating at higher doses. Longevity benefit is inferred from fiber and microbiome data rather than proven for inulin itself.

“Inulin increased gut Bifidobacteria and improved HOMA-IR after adjustment, though it did not significantly improve peripheral insulin sensitivity in this pilot trial.”
