Fibers, present in fruits, vegetables, legumes, oilseeds, play a structural role and serve as a kind of "skeleton" to the different plants that contain them. Fibers are carbohydrates that the body cannot digest or assimilate, and therefore do not provide energy like other carbohydrates. We know their virtues especially at the level of intestinal transit because they increase the volume of the stools and reduce the discomfort of constipation. There are two types of fiber: soluble fiber and insoluble fiber with additional health benefits.
Gum acacia : acacia gum fibers are neither degraded nor assimilated by the body (but only by bacteria in the colon): they only pass through the digestive tract, without any effect on the energy inputs. Unlike other fibers commonly used as "ballast", they in no way hinder the absorption of essential nutrients (vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, phytonutrients, etc.), of which they can even contribute to improving assimilation.
Corn dextrin : corn dextrins are soluble and amorphous carbohydrates. They contain probiotics, good bacteria that act on the digestive function. Corn dextrins are used for their action promoting the elimination of toxins from the body.
Fructo-oligosaccharides or FOS : FOS are prebiotics found in many foods such as garlic, onion, asparagus, wheat, barley or even bananas. These prebiotics are sugars that provide energy to the good bacteria that are probiotics, thus promoting digestive comfort. Prebiotics are digestible and easily released through natural pathways.
