Solgar Multiple Fibre Formula 120 Vcaps

Solgar Multiple Fibre Vegicaps provide a good natural dietary source of soluble and insoluble fibre.

The health benefits of fibre have been well documented. There are some nutrients contained in fibre that may be extracted for the body to use but the basic fibre structure passes through our digestive tract to clean our intestines and give more bulk to the stool. It actually helps the bowels to function more efficiently.

Soluble fibres are characteristically sticky and mesh with water to form gels. They modulate blood glucose by slowing its absorption into the bloodstream. In addition, they lower elevated blood cholesterol by binding bile salts which cause the body to break down more cholesterol to manufacture more bile salts. Furthermore, they chelate toxins (e.g. heavy metals) in the intestinal tract.

Insoluble fibres absorb large amounts of water, stimulate the intestinal tract and provide gastrointestinal benefits.

National food surveys reveal that westerners only consume approximately one third of the fibre they need. While the government suggests five servings per day of fresh fruits and vegetables, the average is closer to two.

The average low fibre diet provides only 10-20 grams of fibre daily, therefore, Solgar Multiple Fibre Vegicaps can be used to complement one's dietary need for increased fibre intake.
