Yacon Syrup - The Next Superfood?

7. Improve Digestion

Although Yacon contains fibrous compounds, called fructooligosaccharides, the body can’t absorb them. The gut bacteria in your body, however, need them to properly function and assist your gastrointestinal system in absorbing nutrients. Yacon also contain prebiotic materials, stimulating the growth and health of the microflora in our bodies. When our probiotic bacteria are well-taken care of and healthy, our body can maximize its intake of vitamins and minerals. Yakon also acts as a laxative, and reduces constipation, bloating, and other more serious gastrointestinal conditions.
