SpectraFiber™ contains whole food concentrates and purified fiber sources supplying a broad spectrum of soluble and insoluble fiber components including pectins, mucilages, algal polysaccharides, cellulose, and hemicellulose. It is free of cereal grains, bran, psyllium seed, and other sources of fiber that may be irritating or allergenic. Fibers have a broad range of benefits for human health. They help regulate colonic motility and improve gastrointestinal health by adding bulk to stool and providing fermentable substrates for beneficial intestinal microorganisms. Soluble fibers also favorably modulate serum lipid levels. Viscous soluble fibers such as pectin support a healthy glycemic response. Soluble fibers can be of particular benefit to bariatric surgery patients by improving nutrient absorption. Fermentation of these fibers in the intestinal tract produces short-chain fatty acids that lower intestinal pH and thus improve the absorption of essential minerals. In addition, increased fiber intake may help reduce appetite and enhance satiety, thereby aiding in weight management. SpectraFiber™ can be used by anyone who wants to experience the gastrointestinal and/or metabolic health benefits of added fiber and may be used by the postoperative bariatric surgery patient to enhance mineral absorption and help maintain optimal weight.
