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

Enhanced Fiber Food Powder provides natural, bulk-producing soluble fiber. These fibers help maintain healthy bowel function and help maintain cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range.28-34

Enhanced Fiber Food Powder helps clean the walls of the intestines and enhances the elimination of unwanted fecal byproducts.35-38
Added calcium enhances the fiber’s fat-binding properties to carry excess fat out of the body, assisting in weight loss regimens by reducing calorie intake via fat.

Stir vigorously and drink immediately.

Consider drinking additional water after.

After your digestive system has adjusted to this fiber, try to use Enhanced Fiber Food Powder before most meals, especially heavy meals (more than 500 calories).

These supplements are to be taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise program. Results may vary.

Caution

Fiber supplements should not be consumed within two hours of taking fat-soluble or oil-based supplements such as CoQ10, vitamins A, D, E and K, or prescription medication. To avoid the possibility of esophageal obstruction, always drink at least 10 ounces of water with fiber supplements, followed by another glass of water. Do not use if abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting is present, unless directed by your physician.

If you suffer from any kind of malnutrition, do not use this product. Taking this product without enough liquid can result in choking. Do not take this product if you have difficulty swallowing.
