Kansango C, Gisenya P, Lutgen P. 28 Dec 2021 The exhaustive analysis of Artemisia annua plants by J.F. Ferreira in 2009 has shown a result which is often neglected : stems contain 20x more starch than leaves. Leaves and inflorescences had the highest percentage of protein, crude fat and in vitro digestible fractions, but the lowest levels of detergent fibres. E Brisibe, Umoren E.

Inulins and polysaccharides: immunostimulants and adjuvants. Host defense functions are responsive to diet composition. It is known since many years that inulin and oligofructose increase resistance to health challenges. Kelly-Quagliana, K.A., Nelson, P.D., Buddington, R.K. Dietary oligofructose and inulin modulate immune functions in mice. Nutr Res. 2003;23:257–267 The bioavailability of drugs with low aqueous solubility may be enhanced by inulin. Inulin has been used to produce solid dispersions or tablets of various poorly soluble...
