History and Usage:
Most Americans consume less than half the recommended dosage of fiber each day through their diet. Yet fiber plays an essential role in the proper functioning of the digestive system and can affect other areas of health as well. Fiber is found in the walls of plants and cannot be digested by human enzymes. It comes in two forms – soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber attracts water and forms a gel. It helps slow digestion lowering the rate of nutrient absorption from the stomach and intestine resulting in reduction of cholesterol levels. It may prove helpful for those seeking to control their weight. It also may improve glucose tolerance in people with diabetes. Insoluble fiber acts as a natural laxative.
Vitabase Natural Fiber Concentrate is a cholesterol free powder designed to provide several types of soluble fiber along with other beneficial ingredients to support good health. Psyllium seed powder, rice bran, guar gum, and apple and citrus pectin are all soluble fibers. Psyllium is perhaps the best known as it is used in many commercially available products. Psyllium is a good intestinal cleanser and stool softener. Psyllium can be used to treat diarrhea, constipation, and to lower cholesterol levels. Rice bran has also demonstrated the capacity to help lower cholesterol levels.
To further enhance the action of the fiber our formula includes several additional ingredients. Reishi mushrooms have been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine. In recent years scientific studies have verified several potential applications for the mushrooms. The mushrooms help to control and lower cholesterol. In addition, scientists have identified a substance contained in the mushroom called polysaccharides which have been shown to help the body fight cancerous tumors and to stimulate the immune system. Lactobacillus acidophilus is a bacteria which inhabits the gastrointestinal tract where it secretes enzymes that support healthy digestion. Acidophilus can be reduced by illness and by antibiotic use. Increasing the number of available bacteria may help with irritable bowel syndrome and recent evidence suggests it can be effective in lowering cholesterol.
Natural Fiber Concentrate comes in a convenient powder. The powder may be mixed with 8 ounces of water or can be simply sprinkled over or mixed into your regular food. Whenever you take additional fiber into your diet be sure to drink adequate amounts of fluids to avoid potential problems.
