- Very tolerable with minimal flatulence, bloating and abdominal cramps according to digestive tolerance studies
- Shown to increase the number of beneficial bacteria, encourage the production of short-chain fatty acids, improve inflammatory cytokine profiles and support intestinal permeability
- Certified organic, non-GMO and FODMAP-free
Prebiotic fiber shapes the health of our microbiota and is essential for promoting many healthy digestive processes, including bowel movement regularity, stool volume and transit time. However, the implications of fiber intake extend far beyond the digestive tract. Increased fiber intake helps improve satiety, support healthy cholesterol levels, and regulate blood sugar levels. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the Canadian population lacks dietary fiber, meaning supplementation can play a valuable role.
Unlike the significant benefit of increased fiber intake, some additional fiber may be poorly tolerated and cause many digestive problems. For example, high doses of fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) or psyllium fiber can cause bloating, bloating, flatulence, and abdominal cramping when fermented by the gut microbiota. This leads many patients and practitioners to avoid their use altogether. However, there are better options because not all prebiotic fibers cause digestive discomfort.
Fibregum is an example of an extremely well-tolerated prebiotic fiber that causes minimal gas and bloating when supplemented, even in high doses up to 30 grams per day. Fibregum has been widely studied and shown to increase the growth of various lactobacilli, bifidobacteria, and the anti-inflammatory microbe Faecalibacterium prausnitzii. Additionally, Fibregum has been shown to significantly increase the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA, including butyrate), positively influence pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine profiles in the colon, and support healthy intestinal permeability. Unlike FOS which is rapidly fermented in the ascending colon, Fibregum is slowly and gradually fermented in the ascending, transverse and descending colon, leading to better clinical results and tolerability.
Cyto-Fibre is an all-natural, certified organic, non-GMO, and non-FODMAP source of prebiotic fiber to support digestive tract health. Made from acacia gum, Fibregum is flavorless and dissolves easily. This means that Cyto-Fibre can be easily integrated into your patients' treatment protocols with high compliance, effectiveness and tolerability.
