Can Inulin Calm Inflammation?

A new study in Nature tested inulin in people with rheumatoid arthritis. For 8 weeks, one group took 10 g/day inulin, the other got a placebo.

What they found

  • People taking inulin had lower CRP (a marker of inflammation).

  • They had fewer tender and swollen joints.

  • Scores for joint function and stiffness improved.

  • Pain ratings did not change.

Why this matters

  • Inulin is a fiber that feeds Bifidobacterium and other helpful gut bacteria.

  • When these bacteria grow, they make compounds that can calm the immune system.

  • This study suggests inulin may be a safe, helpful add‑on to regular RA treatment.

Remember

  • This is one small study. Inulin is not a replacement for RA medications.

  • It may help with stiffness and function, but don’t expect pain relief right away.
