• Benefits and Features

The Benefits of Fibre

Up until the 1970s, fibre was largely ignored by the scientific and medical communities. After all, the term fibre represents a variety of carbohydrates that are not digested, absorbed or used by the body either for fuel or for building body tissue. It was thought that if it passes through our bodies undigested, why do we need it? However, now more recent epidemiological data (study of diseases and of their control and prevention) is suggesting that a generous daily intake of fibre may promote health in many different ways. In fact, findings have been sufficiently positive that one of the dietary guidelines encourages increased intake of fibre.

Although fibre has long been recognized as the best ingredient for maintaining bowel regularity and preventing constipation, it can lay claim to so many more health benefits. Water-soluble fibre forms a gel in the intestine and has health benefits that include cholesterol reduction and blood sugar stabilization. Water insoluble fibre cannot be dissolved in water, and therefore, passes through our bodies undigested. It is the component responsible for scouring the intestine walls of waste matter to help reduce the risk of colon-related problems.

Furthermore, in the bowels, our friendly bacteria converts fibre into short-chain fatty acids, which provide energy for numerous parts of the body and may even help protect against cancer.

While the recommended daily intake of fibre is 25-40 g/day, the average Canadian consumes 4.5-11 g/day.

Research has demonstrated that those with high–fibre diets have lower incidences of colon cancer, appendicitis, and diverticulosis.
Also, fibre is an excellent component to any weight loss program. Since fibre is undigested, it is very low in calories and provides a greater feeling of satiety—I’ve had enough to eat— without increasing caloric intake. Furthermore, the stabilization in blood sugar may curb the desire to snack.

Medicinal Ingredients (per one scoop 8.3 g)

Oat fibre 3,867 mg, Inulin 1,216 mg, Flax seed 706 mg

Provides a supplemental (above regular dietary intake) source of fibre. Fibre benefits the colon by preventing constipation, reducing cholesterol, stabilizing blood sugar, relieving the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel diseases, and reducing the risk of colon cancer, appendicitis, and diverticulosis.

Fibre also mechanically protects the gastrointestinal (digestive) tract. Flax fibre provides antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumour, peristaltic, and laxative properties. Oat fibre contributes anti-inflammatory, antiviral, digestive and diuretic properties.
Inulin from chicory root adds even more natural fibre.
