Stachyose is a naturally occurring oligosaccharide with multiple health benefits. It promotes the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, helping to maintain digestive health and boost immunity. Additionally, the short-chain fatty acids produced by the fermentation of stachyose help increase satiety and reduce appetite, thus supporting weight management. Due to its low glycemic index, it does not cause significant blood sugar spikes and enhances insulin sensitivity, making it an ideal choice for both diabetics and health-conscious individuals.
