Prebiotics
Singkamas can also be a source of prebiotics, being a known inulin source. Inulin is a type of prebiotic fiber that stays in the bowel and does not dissolve quickly. They help certain good bacteria grow, which will eventually protect the body from harmful bacteria.
Prebiotics are selectively fermented ingredients that bring about specific changes in both the composition and activity of the gastrointestinal flora that help a person’s health and well-being. Traditional prebiotic dietary sources include soybeans, artichokes, chicory, raw oats, unrefined wheat, unrefined barley, and yacon.
Anti-diabetic properties
Singkamas extract has the potential to be a good candidate for natural anti-diabetes drugs. In one study, the extract showed antihyperglycemic effects at test doses (200 mg / kg, mice).
