Dietary fiber is a type of carbohydrate found in various foods that cannot be digested by human GI enzymes. The fact that they are unable to be fully digested allows the different fibers to travel through the GI tract where they provide several important functions. There are two types of fiber, soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber is water-soluble and has been shown to help reduce the risk for heart disease.*. Soluble fiber has also been shown to be beneficial to individuals with blood sugar disorders.*. Insoluble fiber such as that found in psyllium is insoluble in water, but does absorb water, swell, and increase the bulk of fecal matter. This combined with the ability of insoluble fiber to stimulate the walls of the colon to contract, helps encourage normal, healthy bowel movements.* Fiber Clean is 100% psyllium husk powder and is designed to support gastrointestinal health.*
Features:
Benefits:
-
Psyllium husk powder is an excellent source of insoluble fiber. This fiber is known to support the health of the colon by binding to and helping excrete toxic by-products of digestion.*
-
Insoluble fiber binds to bile acids, compounds needed for fat digestion, but, which can be potentially toxic to the lining of the colon and helps encourage their excretion in the feces.*
-
Psyllium can absorb water and increase in size. This in turn causes the lining of the colon to “stretch”, in turn encouraging normal, healthy contractions of the lining of the colon and supporting regular bowel movements.*
-
Normal, healthy bowel function and regular bowel movements help reduce the colon’s exposure to potential toxins.*
