Nutri-FiberTM

The average North American consumes only 10-20 grams of fiber per day, which is about half the recommended 25-30 grams. This recommendation from health care professionals is based on a correlation between high dietary fiber intake and improved health. We can make up this deficiency by taking fiber supplements such as Nutri-Fiber, a high quality fiber supplement containing 37% total dietary fiber.

There are two types of fibers, water soluble and water insoluble. We need to consume both to experience the full benefits of fibers. Nutri-Fiber stands out from other supplements of its kind because it contains generous quantities of both fibers.

Nutri-Fiber has 23% insoluble fiber whose primary benefit is assisting with bowel regularity. Nutri-Fiber has 14% soluble fiber, which helps to control blood sugar levels by slowing down blood sugar absorption in the intestines. Soluble fiber also helps improve cholesterol levels as it decreases LDL (bad cholesterol) and increases HDL (good cholesterol).

Supplementing the diet with fiber should be accompanied by an increase of fluid intakes. When soluble fiber is combined with water it becomes gelatinous and bulky. This mixture fills the intestine and coats the walls soothing irritations and inflammations while protecting and gently cleansing the mucosal lining and improving digestion.

Flax seed fiber is by far natures richest source of plant lignans. Other sources of lignans such as rye, buckwheat, oat, barley, yield 2-6 micrograms of lignans per grams of grain while flax seed fiber yields an extraordinary 800 micrograms.

This is extremely significant because studies have shown the amount of lignans present in human blood is directly related to the amount of high lignan foods consumed. For example: When plant lignans are mixed with the beneficial bacteria present in the colon, potent. Free radical fighting anti-oxidant compounds are formed and become available to the body.

Good Source of Essential Fatty Acids
Two of the 50 or so nutrients known to be vital for survival are: the Omege-3 (greatly lacking in the average North American diet) and Omega-6 essential fatty acids. Our bodies cannot produce these fatty acids so we must obtain them from food or supplements. Among other functions. Essential fatty acids are necessary for normal brain development, cell membrane formation, metabolism of cholesterol and triglycerides and energy production on a cellular level.

Nutri-Fiber is a wise and healthy choice for people of all ages.
