Carbohydrate Inulin

The Dahlia is named after Dr. Dahl, a pupil of Linnaeus, but is also known by the name 'Georgina.' It is a native of Mexico, where it grows in sandy meadows at an elevation of 5,000 feet above the sea. The Inulin obtained in Dandelion and Chicory is also present in Dahlia tubers under the name of Dahlin. After undergoing a special treatment, Dahlia tubers and Chicory will yield the pure Laevulose that is sometimes called Atlanta Starch or Diabetic Sugar, which is frequently prescribed for diabetic and consumptive patients, and has been given to children in cases of wasting illness.

There was a very considerable business done in this product before the War by certain German firms. In a paper read at the Second International Congress of the Sugar Industry, held at Paris in 1908, it was stated that pure Laevulose is preferably made by the inversion of Inulin with dilute acids, and that the older process of preparation from invert sugar or molasses does not yield a pure product. The first step in the technical production of Laevulose is in the preparation of Inulin, and Dahlia tubers or Chicory root, which contain 6 to 12 per cent of Inulin are the most suitable material. Chicory root can readily be obtained in quantity, and Dahlia plants, if cultivated for the purpose, should yield in a few years a plentiful supply of cheap raw material.

For extraction of the Inulin, the roots or tubers are sliced, treated with milk of lime and steamed. The juice is then expressed and clarified by subsidence and filtration, the clear liquid being run into a revolving cooler until flakes are produced. These flakes are separated by a centrifugal machine, washed and decolorized, and the thus purified product finally treated with diluted acid, and so converted into Laevulose. This solution of Laevulose is neutralized and evaporated to a syrup in a vacuum pan.

Laevulose can be produced in this manner from Chicory roots and Dahlia tubers at an enormous reduction of price from the older methods of preparing it from molasses or sugar. Its sweet and pleasant taste are likely to make it used not only for diabetic patients, but also in making confectionery and for retarding crystallization of sugar products.

Dahlia inulin is the optimum nutritional food for the natural intestinal flora, which is otherwise known as probiotics. Promoting the optimal growth of these vital organisms helps to maintain the health of the pH of your body's digestive system. This makes it useful for both athletic sports supplements and for people who are wanting to control hunger or appetite cravings in order to lose weight.

Research had indicated that Dahlia inulin keeps blood sugar levels constant for up to 10 hours thus controlling cravings and hunger. Dahlia inulin has also been shown to conserve the body's glycogen stores, increasing the total energy reserves, providing an effective means of suppressing appetite. Additionally, significant research has been done to support chromium as an effective supplement in the management of weight loss. Because it is involved in the metabolism of glucose, this essential mineral maintains stable blood sugar levels and will, therefore, help to promote the loss of fat and also increase lean muscle tissue.

Athletic Support:

Dahlia inulin has also been shown to conserve the body's glycogen stores, increasing the energy reserves providing endurance, strength, vigor, and stamina. Dahlia inulin is especially good when combined with chromium in a supplement helps in the metabolism of glucose, thus stabilizing blood sugar levels and helping to increase lean muscle and boost endurance.

Dahlia inulin is a complex carbohydrate and when combined with the herb Siberian Ginseng, it can help power you through even the toughest workouts, athletic programs, or competitive events.
