Why take fiber?
Medical research has conclusively shown the benefits of high
fiber diets. Fiber is the indigestible parts of fruits, seeds,
vegetables, whole grains and other edible plants. Fiber is
generally classified as either soluble or insoluble.
Soluble fiber is that which easily dissolves in water. Fruit
pectin is an example of soluble fiber. Soluble fibers lead
to the production of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which
support the nourishment of the cells of the large intestine
and promote digestive healing. SCFAs also help reduce levels
of cholesterol and can inhibit the growth of yeasts and disease-causing
bacteria.
Insoluble fiber is not easily dissolved in water. Wheat bran
is an insoluble fiber. Insoluble fibers help inactivate many
intestinal toxins and may help to inhibit the ability of parasites
to attach to the walls of the intestine. Insoluble fibers also
contain roughage which helps tone the bowel. Research has also
shown that insoluble fiber may play a role in reducing intestinal
permeability.
Which type of fiber is best?
Both soluble and insoluble fiber are important, and FiberSMART™ contains
both.
What are the potential benefits of high-fiber diets?
- Lower cholesterol levels
- Normalize blood sugar
- Improve bowel function
- Feed intestinal bacteria
- Inactivate intestinal toxins
- Decrease intestinal permeability
How is FiberSMART™ different from other products?
- FiberSMART™ is made with flax, unlike most other
powdered fibers that are made of psyllium.
- Flax fiber does not bind, swell, or gel like psyllium-based
fiber products.
- FiberSMART's flax fiber can be tolerated by many individuals
sensitive to psyllium.
- Flax contains lignins, which strengthen fiber cells, thought
to help the body's defenses against many health problems.
- FiberSMART™ is not just fiber - it's also fortified
with additional ingredients beneficial to digestive health.
