Digestive Fiber - 390g

Properties

Sophisticated matrix for optimal effectiveness

Dietary fibres are among the food components with high health benefits. The digestive tract in particular benefits from a sufficient supply, which is unfortunately often not covered by the usual diet. Digestive Fiber closes the gap in the supply of dietary fibres with a tasty dietary fibre drink. The 7g dietary fibre contained in the drink contains both water-soluble and water-insoluble fibre in a sophisticated matrix for optimal effectiveness.

Functionality and mode of action of Digestive Fiber

Dietary fibres are primarily components of plant foods. They are present as so-called polysaccharides, usually long, tasteless sugar chains or, more precisely, "non-starch polysaccharides". These food components play an important role in our diet.

According to different data, the total requirement of dietary fibres is 38 g daily for men up to 50 years of age and 25 g daily for women up to 50 years of age. Above 50 years of age, amounts of 30 g for men and 21 g for women are considered adequate. Such a large amount is rarely consumed in a normal mixed diet, which is why gaps in supply regularly occur. Especially in a society that increasingly relies on processed foods, this gap is becoming more and more pronounced. The broad term dietary fibres is further subdivided into water-soluble dietary fibres and water-insoluble dietary fibres. Both promote digestion in their own way and have a positive effect on the intestinal microbiome. Optimal conditions to be an indispensable component of the matrix of Digestive Fiber.

Water-soluble dietary fibres such as inulin, pectin or oligofructose are known to ensure that food stays in the stomach longer and thus contribute to an increased feeling of satiety. The absorption of water from the dietary fibres also increases the volume of the food pulp, which leads to an increased stimulus on the intestinal wall in the intestine and thus to a stimulated intestinal movement. This stimulates digestion and reduces the retention time of the food pulp in the intestine. This mechanism, caused by the properties of dietary fibre, is the reason for the positive effects on digestion and intestinal health. Water-soluble dietary fibres are also said to play an important role in a healthy, balanced intestinal flora, a regulated blood sugar level and a normal cholesterol level.

Water-insoluble dietary fibres bind water only in very small quantities. This property primarily increases the volume of stool and thus ensures that toxins and waste products contained in the stool are excreted more quickly from the intestine.

New with Fibersol^®-2

Newly included is Fibersol^®-2, which is a patented dietary fibre from maize. Fibersol^®-2 has been shown to increase the amount of good bacteria in the gut, which contributes to a healthy gut flora. Another positive effect is that it increases the feeling of satiety, which also supports weight loss. Its effect on improving intestinal function and reducing the feeling of hunger has now been proven by more than 200 studies.
