How long does it take Citrucel with SmartFiber to work?
SmartFiber works naturally with your body to help improve regularity.* Depending on your diet and other factors, it can take anywhere between 12 and 72 hours to take effect.
What is SmartFiber?
SmartFiber is derived from cellulose, which occurs naturally in plants and is the most abundant, renewable fiber on earth. With nature at its core, SmartFiber is designed to be less harsh on your system. So it doesn't cause excess gas and bloating.* Only Citrucel products contain SmartFiber. And SmartFiber is smart - because it works. SmartFiber is proven to help restore and maintain regularity.* SmartFiber is 0% fermentable, so unlike psyllium, SmartFiber cannot, will not cause excess gas or bloating, is non-allergenic and gluten free. Now that is SmartFiber!
What is the difference between the psyllium fiber in Metamucil and the fiber in Citrucel Soft Chews with SmartFiber?
Fiber is the non-digestible portion of plant foods that plays a critical role in digestion. These are examples of categories that all fiber products fall into: 1) soluble or insoluble, and 2) fermentable or non-fermentable.
Soluble fiber dissolves in water, whereas insoluble fiber does not. The fiber in Citrucel Soft Chews with SmartFiber is 100% soluble; the psyllium fiber in Metamucil is not 100% soluble.
Citrucel Soft Chews with SmartFiber contains only 100% non-fermentable fiber, none of it ferments to cause excess gas like the fermentable fiber in Metamucil. This is based on laboratory tests. Your results may vary.
How does the amount of SmartFiber in Citrucel Soft Chews compare to the SmartFiber in powders and caplets?
Each four-piece serving of Citrucel Soft Chews contains two grams of SmartFiber. For comparison, one scoop of Citrucel Orange Mix powder contains two grams of SmartFiber and each two-caplet dose of Citrucel caplets contains one gram.
How does the fiber in Citrucel Soft Chews with SmartFiber work?
Fiber, which is not digested in the body, can absorb up to 30 times its own weight in water, so the material in the digestive tract can take on bulk and a soft texture as it passes through the body. Fiber helps to prevent stools from becoming excessively loose, or dry and hard. If you suffer from diarrhea, the bulk that fiber creates may lead to larger stools and help "slow you down." Bulkier stools are eliminated more easily than hard, pellet-like stools. So, if you suffer from occasional constipation, fiber may help "speed you up." Fiber regulates, naturally.
Does the calcium in Citrucel Soft Chews with SmartFiber cause constipation?
While everyone's body reacts differently, a major study conducted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) found no significant overall difference in gastrointestinal symptoms (such as gas, bloating and constipation) among study participants who had taken calcium carbonate, the calcium in Citrucel Soft Chews with SmartFiber, and those who had taken a placebo.
I noticed Citrucel Soft Chews with SmartFiber don’t have vitamin D. Don’t you need vitamin D to absorb the calcium?
Yes, vitamin D is critical to the absorption of calcium. There are many ways of getting vitamin D, including fish, dairy products, fortified cereals and even sunlight. Talk to your doctor if you think you're not getting enough vitamin D from your diet, or if you have one or more factors for vitamin D deficiency, including being over the age of 70, being homebound or having a gastrointestinal disease that causes poor vitamin D absorption.
Can I take Citrucel Soft Chews with SmartFiber with other medications?
We ask that you speak to your physician or pharmacist about the advisability of taking Citrucel Soft Chews with SmartFiber while you're taking medications.
Since these medical professionals are aware of the properties and the action of the medications you're on, as well as your personal medical history, they should be able to guide you on the advisability of taking Citrucel Soft Chews with SmartFiber along with medications.
It doesn’t say anything about regularity on the package. Will Citrucel Soft Chews with SmartFiber help promote regularity?
Citrucel Soft Chews with SmartFiber are proven to help restore and maintain regularity.* Plus, SmartFiber is the only fiber that won't ferment to cause excess gas**, so it doesn't have the unwanted side effects of some other fiber therapies.
