Fiber Food Caps. 200 capsules
$11.25
Fiber Food provides natural, bulk-producing soluble fiber. These fibers help
maintain healthy bowel function and have been shown to reduce fat and
cholesterol levels. There are published studies showing that dietary fiber can
reduce the risk of colon cancer. Fiber Food helps clean the walls of the
intestines and enhances the elimination of fecal mutagens. Guar gum is a
documented anti-obesity agent. Apple pectin has been shown to significantly
lower cholesterol levels and psyllium seed husks promote healthy bowel function.
Fiber acts as a bulking agent in the stomach and
intestine, which means you feel fuller and may eat less.1-5
Soluble fiber attracts water and forms a gel-like substance as it passes through
the digestive tract. This slows digestion and lowers the rate of nutrient
absorption, helping to maintain glucose and cholesterol levels that are already
within the normal range.3-7
Insoluble fiber acts as a natural laxative that
speeds the passage of foods through the stomach. When the non-digestible fibers
reach the colon, anaerobic bacteria degrade them through fermentation. This
process produces byproducts known as short-chain fatty acids, which help
maintain proper acid/base balance in the colon and may be beneficial to healthy
colonic mucosa function.
Low-fat diets rich in fiber-containing grain products,
fruits, and vegetables may reduce the risk of some types of cancer.8-10
Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol and rich in fruits, vegetables, and
grain products that contain some types of dietary fiber, particularly soluble
fiber, may reduce the risk of heart disease.11-13
