Chicory 400mg 30 capsules, Adams

The chicory root comes from a plant with bright blue flowers that belongs to the dandelion family.
Used for centuries in cooking and in traditional medicine, it is commonly used to make a coffee alternative because it has a similar taste and color.
The fibers from this root are believed to have numerous health benefits and are often extracted for use as a food additive or dietary supplement.

Studies suggest that chicory root fiber can regulate appetite and reduce total calorie intake, which may lead to weight loss.
A 12-week study on 48 overweight adults found that taking 21 grams per day of oligofructose derived from chicory, which is very similar to inulin, led to a significant average reduction in body weight of 2.2 pounds (1 kg) - while the placebo group gained weight  
This study also found that oligofructose helped lower levels of ghrelin, a hormone that stimulates the feeling of hunger.

Chicory leaves are rich in cichorin, inulin, arginine, choline, cichoric acid, levulose, minerals (iron, phosphorus, calcium, potassium and magnesium) and vitamins (A, B, C, E, K). The root is rich in lactupirein, fructose, tannins. These substances provide diuretic, laxative, hypoglycemic, antithyroid and purifying properties.
