Chicory Root Gut Microbiota Randomized TrialIt is postulated that, apart from genetic predisposition, the rise of local and systemic immune response in PS could be a consequence of intestinal dysbiosis associated with increased intestinal permeability.2Krupa-Kozak U (2026)INulin-type β-fructans supplementation to modulate gut microbiota and assessment of its effects on health status and GUT-SKIN axis parameters in patients with psoriasis (INGUTSKIN): the 8-week, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study protocol.
Chicory Root Gut Microbiota Randomized TrialWe expect that the RCT results will enable the introduction of personalised dietary therapy with prebiotic ITFs, which, unlike other PS therapies, would not pose a high risk of side effects.2Krupa-Kozak U (2026)INulin-type β-fructans supplementation to modulate gut microbiota and assessment of its effects on health status and GUT-SKIN axis parameters in patients with psoriasis (INGUTSKIN): the 8-week, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study protocol.
Chicory Root Gut Microbiota Randomized TrialBACKGROUND: A strong, bidirectional association exists between gastrointestinal health and skin homeostasis in many chronic skin inflammations, including psoriasis (PS).2Krupa-Kozak U (2026)INulin-type β-fructans supplementation to modulate gut microbiota and assessment of its effects on health status and GUT-SKIN axis parameters in patients with psoriasis (INGUTSKIN): the 8-week, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study protocol.
Chicory Root Gut Microbiota Randomized TrialClinically, chRG-I was well-tolerated and slightly improved stool consistency compared to placebo.4Kerezoudi EN (2026)Dietary chicory rhamnogalacturonan-I modulates gut microbiota and immune responses in healthy adults.
Chicory Root Gut Microbiota Randomized TrialIn an intestinal barrier challenge model, chRG-I fermentates (a pool of metabolites including SCFA and fragments of chRG-I) protected barrier integrity, modulated the cytokine milieu away from a predominantly pro-inflammatory response, as characterized by increased IL4 and IL22 and reduced IL9, IL17A, and IL21.4Kerezoudi EN (2026)Dietary chicory rhamnogalacturonan-I modulates gut microbiota and immune responses in healthy adults.
Chicory Root Gut Microbiota Randomized TrialConclusion: Supplementation with a low dose of chRG-I is well-tolerated, beneficially modulates the gut microbiome - which can protect the intestinal barrier, and subtly enhances systemic immune readiness, suggesting that chRG-I may have benefits as a functional food ingredient.4Kerezoudi EN (2026)Dietary chicory rhamnogalacturonan-I modulates gut microbiota and immune responses in healthy adults.
Chicory Root Gut Microbiota Randomized TrialBackground: Pectic rhamnogalacturonan-I (RG-I) is a dietary fiber that modulates the gut-immune axis.4Kerezoudi EN (2026)Dietary chicory rhamnogalacturonan-I modulates gut microbiota and immune responses in healthy adults.
