What Does Fiber Do for the Body?
When we think about fiber supplements, regularity is probably top of mind. And it makes sense. Soluble fiber gets broken down in the gut to help move things along at a healthy rate. But fiber goes beyond gut health and digestion. Glucomannan fiber, a low dose dietary fiber, moves through the digestive tract like other fibers – with some other great health benefits. It supports satiety – the feeling of fullness, promotes healthy blood sugar levels, heart health and even functions as a prebiotic to help feed good gut bacteria.
Product Details
“Get more fiber.” It’s age-old advice, but most Americans don’t consume enough fiber in their diets. And that’s too bad, because it’s important to get enough fiber for a variety of reasons: digestive health, regularity, satiety, and heart health, just to name a few.
Adjustable dose, multiple benefits
Many fiber supplements are made with psyllium husk. But this form of fiber tends to be bulkier and requires a larger daily dose to achieve the same benefits as our Easy Fiber! Easy Fiber is made from konjac root (Amorphophallus konjac), a form of fiber often used in Asian cuisine.
Konjac delivers the same benefits (including regularity, satiety, heart and gut health) as other fibers, but at a lower dose.
Regularity, satiety and digestive health
Easy Fiber helps promote regularity and supports your digestive health partially through its role as a prebiotic. In fact, healthy regularity and a prebiotic effect were observed in clinical trials that provided supplemental glucomannan fiber to adults on a low-fiber diet.
Another reason people take fiber is to promote satiety – the feeling of being satisfied after eating. Why? Because, simply put, if you’re not hungry, you’ll eat less. Glucomannan fiber from konjac root excels at promoting satiety.
Already-Healthy Cholesterol & Blood Sugar Levels
Glucomannan fiber isn’t just for regularity and gut health either. This soluble fiber is known for its heart health benefits, too! In a meta-analysis of 12 randomized controlled trials, consumption of two or more grams of glucomannan fiber daily for three to 12 weeks helped to maintain already-healthy LDL and HDL cholesterol levels.
In a group of 25 healthy middle-aged men, adding glucomannan to rice before eating it helped maintain healthy blood sugar levels, compared to simply eating rice by itself. Furthermore, when study participants increased the amount of glucomannan ingested it produced even better results.
More good news: this lightly orange-flavored fiber powder is also vegetarian, gluten free, sugar free and contains no artificial flavors, colors, or sweeteners (unlike competitors like Metamucil®*).
