Carrot Fiber Boosts Gut Health and Strengthens Immune Defenses

Published 2 months ago

Carrot fiber contains a unique compound called RG-I that works in small amounts to strengthen your gut and immune defenses
Even 300 to 500 milligrams daily of RG-I was shown to boost beneficial bacteria, improve stool consistency, and activate immune cells that fight viruses
Carrot fiber helps your gut microbes produce protective compounds that lower inflammation and shield organs like your brain, heart, and liver from damage
At the same time, it reduces harmful byproducts linked to asthma, fatty liver disease, and cancer risk, shifting your microbiome toward a healthier balance
Preparing your gut first by calming inflammation makes carrot fiber even more effective, as it then feeds butyrate-producing bacteria that repair and protect your intestinal lining
