Enhanced Fiber Food Powder provides natural, bulk-producing soluble fiber. These fibers help maintain healthy bowel function and help to maintain cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range.46-52* Enhanced Fiber Food Powder helps clean the walls of the intestines and enhances the elimination of unwanted fecal byproducts.53-56
By taking these kinds of soluble fibers before meals, one can often achieve earlier satiety, thereby reducing one’s calorie intake.*

The unique blend of soluble fiber binds with cholesterol released into the intestines, helping to carry excess choles-terol out of the body.  Calcium is added to enhance the prop-erties of the fat-binding of the fiber to carry excess fat out of the body, assisting in weight loss regimens by reducing calo-rie intake via fat.*

Fiber acts as a bulking agent in the stomach and intestine, which means you feel fuller and may eat less.1-5 Soluble fiber is derived from the gums, pectins, mucilages, and some hemicellulose of fruits, oats, barley, and legumes. Soluble fiber attracts water and forms a gel-like substance in the process as it passes through the digestive tract. This slows digestion and lowers the rate of nutrient absorption (such as sugars and fats) from the stomach and intestine, resulting in the maintenance of both glucose and cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range.3-7*

Insoluble fiber, on the other hand, acts as a natural laxative that speeds the passage of foods through the stomach. It also gives stool its bulk and helps it move quickly through the gastrointestinal tract, helping maintain gut regularity.* Insoluble fiber can be found in the peel of fruit, such as apples and grapes. When the non-digestible fibers reach the colon, anaerobic bacteria degrade them in a process called 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. 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, a disease associated with many factors.

If your diet is low in fiber, please begin by taking only half the normal dose [4 grams (1/2 scoop)] instead of 8 grams. To avoid impeding absorption, it is suggested that medications and oil-soluble supplements be taken one hour before, or four hours after using Enhanced Fiber Food Powder. Do not take fiber supplements with oil-based products such as CLA, perilla oil, fish oil, GLA, or CoQ10.

To avoid choking, make sure to take plenty of water or other liquid with fiber. Not doing so may result in intestinal pain or blockage. If suffering from hemorrhoids, care should be taken. Do not use fiber supplements if you have difficulty swallowing, nausea, vomiting, or if abdominal cramps, flatulence, and diarrhea are present. A potential side effect from any fiber product is gas and bloating.
