Benicaros®: The Fuel for every Gut Microbiome Ecosystem

Benicaros® is a plant-based, patented ‘Precision Prebiotic’ fibre ingredient, which strengthens innate immune cells to respond faster, smarter and stronger, whilst consistently boosting the production of beneficial gut bacteria in every type of gut microbiome ecosystem.

A study investigated the prebiotic effects of three known dietary fibres, each with varying levels of structural complexity, on the intestinal microbiota of healthy adults. Results revealed that only Benicaros® consistently increased Short Chain Fatty Acids levels across individuals, compared to the other fibres¹. Research also confirmed that Benicaros® has the ‘right specificity’ to reliably stimulate beneficial microorganisms and their metabolites, while producing less gas compared to traditional prebiotics². 

Sourced from upcycled carrot pomace through a proprietary water-based extraction technology free from solvents, Benicaros® offers versatile formulation properties. With excellent solubility and minimal impact on taste, odour, or texture, Benicaros® is the perfect choice for a wide range of dietary supplements, functional foods, and beverages.

Benicaros® meets all the demands of today’s conscious consumer: natural, clinically proven, clean label, kosher and halal certified and low-FODMAP criteria. FODMAPs are groups of poorly absorbed sugars that cause IBS symptoms; low-FODMAP products like Benicaros® SF P may help manage them.
