[ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef] Chicory root has been used for centuries for culinary and medicinal purposes and is considered generally safe for most people.

Lastly, people with allergies to ragweed or birch pollen should avoid chicory, as it may trigger similar reactions ( 21). summary The DPPH radical scavenging activity of a polyphenols-rich fraction of C. intybus has been investigated [ 48]. The anti- and prooxidant activities of Cichorium species were studied in chemical as well as biological systems. In the case of chemical systems, the antioxidant activity of water-soluble compounds in C. intybus var. silvestre was established in the coupled model of linoleic acid and β-carotene. A pro-oxidant activity of some of the chemical components was recorded initially which notably diminished with time and/or thermal treatment. Thereafter, the antioxidant activity of the raw juice and its fractions persisted. The molecular weight ranges of the antioxidant fractions of raw juice were also identified based on dialysis [ 49]. Two varieties of chicory, namely, C. intybus var. silvestre and C. intybus var. foliosum, have been investigated for their antioxidant (antiradical) activities in two distinct biological systems. The lipid peroxidation assay has been carried out on microsome membranes of rat hepatocytes after the induction of oxidative damage by carbon tetrachloride. The antiradical activity was expressed as the protective activity against lipid peroxidation and calculated as the percentage decrease in hydroperoxide degradation products. The second biological system used was the cultures of S. aureus after treatment with cumene hydroperoxide. The percentage increase of growth of bacteria was noted after the treatment with juices of chicory varieties. In both systems, the juices of chicory varieties showed strong antiradical activities [ 21, 49].

Diarrhea, strengthening the prostate and other reproductive organs, pulmonary cancer, hangover, and purification of biliary tract There are numerous studies that still need to be conducted regarding chicory root fiber and chicory root extract. While research shows that there are several health benefits of chicory root, it’s always best to get fiber from whole foods whenever possible.

Chicory root contains inulin, which is a prebiotic. In fact, a 100-gram serving of fresh chicory roots contains about 68 grams of inulin, making it one of the best food sources of prebiotics available. Furthermore, “results of the pilot study suggested that a proprietary bioactive extract of chicory root has a potential role in the management of [osteoarthritis]. Only one patient treated with the highest dose of chicory discontinued treatment due to an adverse effects.” 6.

In addition to adding bulk to foods, it also makes products a bit healthier by boosting their fiber content, without adding extra calories. Soluble fibers also help slow down the time it takes for food to travel through the body, which can help you feel fuller for longer while also stabilizing blood sugar levels. When applied to the skin: There isn't enough reliable information to know if chicory is safe. Handling the chicory plant might cause skin irritation. Pregnancy: Taking chicory by mouth in large amounts is possibly unsafe during pregnancy. Chicory might start menstruation and cause a miscarriage.
