What is fibre?

Fibre is the indigestible carbohydrate residue found in foods. There are two types: soluble or insoluble. Soluble is soft and mushy – for instance beans and porridge; insoluble is hard and coarse, such as wheat bran.

Which foods are high in fibre?

Natural foods are usually high in fibre, i.e., wholegrains, nuts, seeds,fruit and vegetables.

What happens to fibre in the body?

It passes through the stomach into the digestive tract, and on to the large bowel intact where it absorbs water and other waste materials, then is passed as stools.

What good does fibre do?

A good intake of dietary fibre reduces the amount of time food spends in the intestinal tract. Dietary fibre can help speed up the passage of food and so assist in the removal of toxins and wastes from the body.

What is the recommended daily amount?

25-35 grams or higher, is recommended. At present, the amount consumed in a typical European diet is just 12-15 grams. You would need to consume the equivalent of approximately 25 slices of wholemeal bread to consume 35 grams of fiber.

What happens if not enough fibre is consumed?

Research shows that a lack of fibre in the diet is a factor in many health challenges.

How can Fibrebond help?

The unique blend of active fibres and sodium choleate can help maintain the process of elimination and assist in the emulsification of fat for digestion. They can also help curb your desire to snack.

Key Ingredient Properties*:

Sodium Choleate – Lipid Emulsifier – assists in the emulsification of fats for digestion

Fibre: Cellulose, apple, orange and oat. •Cellulose is found in bran, fruit, vegetables, wholemeal bread and beans, nuts and seeds.Experts believe that it may help to dilute and flush out wastes from the intestinal tract.

•Apples contain a higher proportion of fibre compared to many other fruit and vegetables,i.e. approximately 4grams of fibre in one apple, compared to 0.8grams in half a pineapple.

• One small orange contains approximately 1.6 grams of fibre.

• Oat fibre is extra high in soluble fibre which research reveals may help to support a healthy blood supply.
