Soluble and Insoluble?
May 16, 2008 by jflohr
Research can be a little difficult. Once you dive into a big pool of information, it’s hard to come out. Makes no sense… well, maybe it does.
Have you ever looked at the ingredients of the product you are taking? Does it contain both soluble and insoluble fiber? Are you just using it to add fiber or for something else?
When you have a minute, pick up your fiber product and read the label (front and back). What is it used for and what does it contain? Not all fiber products are the same!!!!
Soluble fiber is often compared to a sponge in your body. It absorbs water and forms a thick gel which helps the movement through your system.
Insoluble fiber generally works in the intestines like a broom and helps the movement of gel and waste through this area.
OK— so if you are taking a soluble fiber product which is clear and will not form bulk, how does it absorb water? It won’t. I repeat: ALL FIBERS ARE NOT THE SAME.
If you are looking for a fiber that is FDA classified because it can be used to help treat, manage, and improve one’s daily routine — Think of KONSYL.
It’s the one with psyllium: the all-natural, sugar-free, no-added-fillers product that works!!!!!
Have you had your fiber today??? Have you had your KONSYL!!!
