Cyto Fiber - Powder

Highly tolerable with minimal flatulence, bloating, and abdominal cramping according to digestive tolerance studies. Shown to increase beneficial bacteria, encourage short-chain fatty acid production, 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, promote healthy cholesterol levels, and regulate blood sugar. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the Canadian population is deficient in dietary fiber, meaning supplementation can play a valuable role. Contrary to the significant benefit of increased fiber intake, some supplemental fibers can be poorly tolerated and cause numerous digestive disturbances. For example, high doses of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) or psyllium fiber can cause bloating, flatulence, and abdominal cramps 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 at high doses of up to 30 grams per day. Fibregum has been extensively 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 (SCFAs, 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 progressively fermented in the ascending, transverse, and descending colon, leading to better clinical outcomes and tolerability. Cyto-Fibre is an all-natural, certified organic, non-GMO, and FODMAP-free source of prebiotic fiber to support digestive tract health. Derived 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, efficacy and tolerability.
