Fiber is an essential part of a healthy diet. However, the average daily intake of fiber is only about half of the recommended intake of 30-35 g per day. Soluble fiber is not digestible by enzymes in the gastrointestinal system, but is instead fermented by healthy bacteria in the gut. Soluble fibers normally enhance gastrointestinal health, function and regularity, and increase satiety thus it indirectly supports healthy blood sugar balance and cardiovascular health. A low intake of dietary fiber has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

Supplemental forms of fiber provide a consistent and defined amount of fiber for those who may not consume enough.

AOR’s Solufibre contains partially hydrolyzed guar gum, a highly soluble, prebiotic form of fibre derived from the endosperm of the cluster bean. Guar gum is fermented more slowly in the intestinal tract than some other prebiotic fibres, making it easily tolerated. Hydrolyzation is a controlled natural process that breaks guar gum down into smaller units, greatly decreasing its viscosity and allowing the particles to dissolve more readily, while maintaining the original fibre content.
