Gut Health Inclusions & Snacks

At CII Foods, we’re redefining how functional ingredients meet flavor. Our gut health inclusions and snacks combine SlimBiome®, an award-winning prebiotic fiber complex, with our advanced food manufacturing capabilities to create snacks that taste amazing and support digestive wellness.

Functional Snacks & Inclusions That Deliver Results

We specialize in manufacturing gut health-focused snacks and inclusions that fit seamlessly into your next innovation.
Our applications include:

  • Prebiotic granolas – for cereals, snack mixes, or yogurt toppings.

  • Functional clusters and jumbles – clean-label, crunchy inclusions that promote satiety and gut wellness.

  • Coated crisps and puffs – flavor-packed and functional, ideal for snacking or meal replacement formats.

  • Panned inclusions – yogurt, chocolate, or functional coatings infused with SlimBiome® for added prebiotic benefits.

Every inclusion is heat-stable, vegan-friendly, and clean label, making formulation easy and flexible.

The Power of SlimBiome®

SlimBiome® brings scientifically backed benefits to food innovation. Each 3g serving contains 1.9g of prebiotic fiber and 2.9g of dietary fiber, formulated to:

  • Promote a healthy gut microbiome by supporting beneficial bacteria.

  • Reduce hunger and cravings through natural appetite regulation.

  • Support fullness and weight management by stimulating GLP-1 hormone activity.

  • Stabilize blood glucose levels for sustained energy and balance.

By integrating SlimBiome® into our inclusions, CII Foods delivers the perfect fusion of functionality and indulgence — without altering taste, texture, or shelf stability.

How SlimBiome® Supports Gut Health

SlimBiome® is an award-winning, patented prebiotic fiber complex developed by leading UK universities and experts in appetite regulation and the gut microbiome. It uses microbiome science to create a healthier gut environment while helping manage hunger and cravings.

How it works:

  • Increases stomach viscosity to slow gastric emptying and extend feelings of fullness, similar to the GLP-1 hormone.

  • Enhances beneficial gut bacteria such as Christensenella and Bacteroides, both associated with a lean body composition.

  • Regulates insulin response to maintain steady blood sugar and energy levels.

  • Supports fat loss and weight management while maintaining muscle mass.

  • Provides immediate satiety benefits — just 3g increases fullness with no preloading required.

When combined with CII Foods’ inclusions, SlimBiome® transforms traditional snacks into functional, science-backed wellness foods.

The Added Advantage of Probiotics

CII Foods also offers probiotic-enriched inclusions and coatings — giving your products a one-two punch for gut health.
By pairing SlimBiome® prebiotics with live probiotics, we help you create synbiotic snacks that support both the growth and activity of beneficial gut bacteria.

Our R&D team ensures probiotic stability through specialized coating and panning technologies, preserving their efficacy even under challenging processing conditions.
