According to a study published on PubMed, consuming agave inulin can lead to slight increases in flatulence, bloating, and rumbling, particularly at higher doses. These gastrointestinal issues are among the most common side effects of agave fiber, a popular prebiotic supplement derived from the agave plant.

For millennia, the agave plant has been a cornerstone of Mesoamerican culture, utilized for far more than its famously distilled products like tequila and mezcal. Beyond the commercially processed syrup, raw agave is used for a multitude of purposes, from food and traditional medicine to durable fibers and beverages.
