Digestive Fiber - 390g

A sophisticated matrix for optimum efficiency

Dietary fiber is one of the most health-promoting components of food. The digestive system, in particular, benefits from a sufficient supply, which unfortunately is often not covered by the usual diet. Digestive Fiber fills the gap in dietary fiber supply with a tasty dietary fiber drink. The 7 g of fiber in this drink contain both water-soluble and insoluble representatives in a sophisticated matrix for optimum effectiveness.

Digestive Fiber functionality and mode of action

Dietary fibers are mainly components of plant foods. They take the form of polysaccharides, generally long chains of neutral-tasting sugar, or more precisely "non-starch polysaccharides". These food components play an important role in our diet.

According to various data, total dietary fiber requirements are 38 g per day for men under 50 and 25 g for women under 50. Over 50, 30 g for men and 21 g for women are considered appropriate. It is rare for a normal mixed diet to provide such a large quantity, which explains why there are regular gaps in supply. In a society increasingly reliant on processed foods, this gap is becoming more and more pronounced. The broad concept of dietary fiber is subdivided into water-soluble and water-insoluble fibers. Both, in their own way, aid digestion and have a positive effect on the intestinal microbiome. Optimal conditions for being an indispensable part of the Digestive Fiber matrix.

Water-soluble fibers such as inulin, pectin and oligofructose are known to prolong the residence time of food in the stomach, helping to reinforce the feeling of satiety. The water absorption of dietary fibers also increases the volume of the food bolus, leading to increased stimulation of the intestinal wall and consequently stimulated intestinal movement. This stimulates digestion and reduces the residence time of the food bolus in the intestine. This mechanism, triggered by the properties of dietary fiber, is responsible for the positive effects on digestion and intestinal health. Water-soluble fiber is also thought to play an important role in maintaining healthy, balanced intestinal flora, regular blood sugar levels and normal cholesterol levels.

Water-insoluble dietary fibers retain water only in very small quantities. This property primarily increases stool volume, thereby accelerating the elimination of toxins and waste products from the stool.

New with Fibersol®-2

Fibersol®-2, a patented dietary fiber extracted from corn, is now present in the product.

Fibersol®-2 has been shown to increase the amount of good bacteria in the gut, contributing to healthy intestinal flora. Another positive effect is that it increases the feeling of satiety, which also promotes weight loss. Its effect on improving intestinal function and reducing feelings of hunger has meanwhile been proven in over 200 studies.
