Inulin is a compound made up of more than 30 molecules of simple sugars that are linked by β-2,1-glycosidic bonds in an unbranched chain. It is a polysaccharide of plant origin, which is a reserve store. It is a compound that is not digested in the upper gastrointestinal tract and is transported in an undigested form to the large intestine, where it undergoes bacterial fermentation in the colon. Inulin is used as a dietary fiber and prebiotic, i.e. a food for good bacteria residing in the digestive system.

Vitamin C is an organic chemical compound that belongs to the group of polyhydroxyl alcohols. It is a water-soluble substance, the excess of which is excreted from the body with urine and sweat. The human body is not able to synthesize vitamin C on its own, so the compound is considered an exogenous component that must be supplied to the body along with the daily diet or in the form of supplements. Naturally, vitamin C is found in foods primarily in fresh vegetables and fruits. Ascorbic acid can be found in acerola, black currant, oranges or strawberries, as well as kale, Brussels sprouts, peppers or kohlrabi, among others.
