How It Works
Dietary Fiber
Dietary fiber is the edible parts of plants, or similar carbohydrates, that are resistant to digestion and absorption in the small intestine. Dietary fiber passes through the stomach and small intestine to the large intestine, where it undergoes complete or partial fermentation. Dietary fiber plays many important roles in health, including providing bulk to feces, which aids elimination and supports regular bowel movements; and supporting metabolic activity in the body by inhibiting cholesterol absorption and slowing glucose absorption in the small intestine. Dietary fiber has also been studied for its support of the immune system and healthy white blood cells. Finally, dietary fiber supports digestion by helping the colon become more acidic, thus supporting the growth of beneficial microflora in the intestines.
Fiber is generally classified as either insoluble or soluble. Although neither type is digested or absorbed, each has specific properties. Soluble fiber attracts water and turns to gel during digestion, thus slowing the process of digestion and absorption without causing interference with the absorption of essential nutrients. Research has shown that by slowing the absorption of glucose (sugar) and carbohydrates, soluble fiber supports the maintenance of healthy glucose levels that are already within the normal range. Insoluble fiber adds bulk to the stool, increasing pressure on the intestinal walls and triggering bowel movements. Insoluble fiber also promotes softer stools, which reduces straining and discomfort during defecation. Fiber Delights contains both soluble and insoluble fiber.
Inulin and oligofructose
Fiber Delights contains a proprietary blend of inulin and fructooligosaccharides (FOS). Both inulin and FOS are naturally occurring; they are found in many types of plants, including onions, leeks, bananas, wheat, and artichokes. Chicory root and Jerusalem artichoke also contain high levels of these substances.
In the human body, inulin and FOS support a healthy gastrointestinal tract through two different mechanisms. First, inulin and FOS are classified as prebiotics (defined as non- digestible food ingredients that stimulate the growth of beneficial microflora in the digestive system). In a study of volunteers who consumed a controlled diet supplemented with inulin and FOS for 15 days, the ratio of “friendly,” or desirable, intestinal microflora shifted positively. The number of bifidobacterium (a “friendly” microflora) increased, while the number of undesirable microflora decreased. The study's authors concluded that a change in dietary habits to consume prebiotics can shift the balance of colonic microflora to promote the growth of the more desirable organisms.
In addition to the promotion of existing strains of beneficial intestinal flora, inulin and FOS also act to improve the survival, implantation, and growth of probiotic bacteria. Probiotics refer to orally consumed supplemental forms of beneficial microflora that naturally occur in the digestive tract. Some examples of probiotic bacteria are Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Bifidobacteria longum and Bifidobacteria breve.
In addition to functioning as prebiotics, inulin and FOS also provide the benefits of fiber. Because they are not absorbed, inulin and FOS influence intestinal function by increasing stool frequency, increasing stool weight, and decreasing fecal pH. These factors help to promote regularity and support gastrointestinal health by shortening the amount of time waste material lingers in the intestines. It is important that the body not be exposed to waste materials or toxins for prolonged periods of time. These wastes, if they remain in contact with the body for too long, may act as irritants and potentially cause harm to the colon.
Inulin and FOS also provide support for body systems other than the gastrointestinal tract. The specific forms of inulin and FOS in Fiber Delights were the subject of a recent clinical trial that showed that, at sufficient levels, this combination enhanced the absorption of calcium in adolescent girls by 18%. Inulin and FOS have also been reported to support the maintenance of healthy cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range. Inulin, at the supplemental level of 10 g per day, has been shown to support the maintenance of healthy insulin and glucose levels that are already within the normal range.
Oat Fiber
Oat bran is generally considered a source of soluble fiber, although it contains both soluble and insoluble fiber. Oat bran is well known for its support for the maintenance of healthy cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range. Oat bran has also been shown to support the maintenance of healthy glucose and insulin levels that are already within the normal range. Additionally, oat bran has been clinically studied for its ability to increase stool bulk. The authors of a recent a study concluded that the bulking effect of oat bran is due to its ability to provide rapidly fermented soluble fiber for bacterial growth, and by excreting undigested insoluble fiber (although in lesser quantities than a true insoluble fiber source, such as wheat bran). Oat bran possesses the beneficial properties of both types of fiber.
FAQ
Will Fiber Delights affect the absorption of prescription medications?
Fiber may slow the absorption of prescription medications, therefore we recommend that prescription medications not be taken at the same time as any fiber supplement. Generally, waiting at least 2 hours between taking fiber and prescription medications is sufficient, but please discuss the use of dietary supplements with your healthcare practitioner.
I started taking Fiber Delights® and I’ve noticed I feel very gassy. What should I do?
Because many people do not get very much fiber in their daily diets, when they do increase their fiber intake they experience gas or sometimes occasional constipation or diarrhea. The key to successfully increasing fiber intake without experiencing adverse effects is to gradually increase your fiber and make sure you get plenty of water. Start with 1/2 or 1/3 of the daily dosage and increase gradually over a few weeks. Some people find that adding a good probiotic, such as Acidophilous Pearls active cultures, also helps relieve any fiber-associated gas. The benefits of fiber are many, so don’t give up on this important nutrient.
