Enriched Fiber Complex is a triple blend of fiber based on psyllium, a natural fiber with significantly higher soluble fiber than oat bran. The importance of a fiber in your diet cannot be overstated. Fiber is bulk, the roughage needed by the intestines to move their contents through the digestive tract. Fiber can not be absorbed or digested. It is not fattening unless eaten in excessive amounts. Fiber acts like a sponge in the stomach. It prevents and relieves constipation, binds toxins, dilutes bacteria and absorbs water. It also keeps the stool moist, soft and bulky. Fiber is found in whole foods, particularly in whole grains such as brown rice and barley; in legume's such as peas, beans and lentils, and in fresh fruits and vegetables. Most diets do not include sufficient quantities of fiber-rich foods, and most individuals benefit from fiber supplements. Cancer of the colon, and other disorders such as diverticulitis, appendicitis, hemorrhoids and varicose veins may be related to a high-fat diet. Those who switch to a high fiber diet often lose weight, keep cholesterol levels down, and need no laxatives. A good way to judge if your diet is rich in fiber is to check your stool - if it floats, all is well. If it sinks you need more fiber in your diet. Bottom line - a low fat, high fiber diet helps keep you healthy and regular.

Enriched Fiber complex now contains a LB Prebiotic.
LB Prebiotic improves lactose digestion, and helps stimulate the immune system. It protects the intestine from harmful germs, and the stomach from H. Pylori. A prebiotic is a compound that stimulates selectively the growth and/or intestinal activity of each individual. The formula we offer now contains 1 gram more of dietary fiber than the old formula. Our formula contains no added sugar or starch. No dicalcium phosphate, artificial preservatives or fillers. Vegetarian formula. People suffering from Crohn's Disease should avoid supplemental fiber and consume natural fiber foods. A study in the June 1999 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association found that a diet high in fiber may cut your risk of heart disease. The study found that women who ate the most fiber (about 23 grams per day) had a 47% lower risk of having a heart attack compared with women who consumed the least amount of fiber (about 11 grams per day). Researchers believe the fiber's ability to cut blood cholesterol levels was just one benefit of the fiber. Nutritionists recommend consuming between 20-35 grams of fiber every day.
