Teeccino Herbal Coffee Lets You Enjoy Your Daily Prebiotic in a Cup
SANTA BARBARA, CA. Teeccino Caffe - the best-selling herbal coffee in the US has great news: Just two cups a day will give you a daily dose of a prebiotic - essential for good digestive health. Teeccino is a caffeine-free alternative to coffee, brewed the same way but available in ten delicious flavors.

Scientists estimate that our prehistoric ancestors ate around 15 grams of inulin a day from their hunting & gathering diet that included a large amount of tubers. Now, in our modern diet, we are lucky if we get 2 grams of inulin daily.

Teeccino is naturally high in inulin - 650mg per cup - found in a soluble fiber called inulin that comes from chicory root, an ingredient in the brew. For good digestive health, we need more inulin in our diet to feed our beneficial digestive flora. Two to three cups of Teeccino a day can double the amount of inulin ingested daily get the gut flora working overtime.

Inulin is present in many foods including wheat, garlic, onions, asparagus, bananas and artichokes. It is available in large quantities in tubers such as chicory root, Jerusalem artichokes and burdock root. As these are not "everyday" foods, sipping a cup of Teeccino is a much easier way of getting a daily dose!

Inulin is food for the beneficial microflora, Bifidobacteria, which live in our colons. Studies show inulin produces many health benefits such as decreasing triglycerides and cholesterol, increasing the absorption of minerals like calcium and stimulating the immune system. Inulin has also shown promise in preventing the development of colon cancer cells.

Teeccino comes in 10 popular flavors like Vanilla Nut, Mocha, Hazelnut, Chocolate, Chai, Almond Amaretto, Caffe and Java. It is distributed nationwide in natural food and specialty grocery stores. Teeccino retails at around $8.99 for a 11oz bag.
