Soluble and insoluble fibers support optimal colon and digestive health*
On average, Americans consume less than 50% of the recommended dietary fiber for good health. Not consuming enough fiber can contribute to a host of health problems. Clinical trials have shown certain fibers and plant components including psyllium and beta-glucans from oat bran and barley to reduce cholesterol levels, an important risk factor for cardiovascular health.*
For men (ages 9 and up), U.S. Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) for total fiber is 30-38 grams per day. For women, the amount is 21-26 grams/day. Pregnant and lactating women need slightly more, 28-29 grams/day.
Along with a healthy diet, adding soluble and insoluble fiber can help keep the digestive tract working optimally.* Choose from multi-fiber blends, acacia fiber, alfalfa, glucomannan, guar gum, oat bran, pectins and psyllium.
