Very Berry Chewable Fiber Wafers Fiber occurs naturally in many foods and is important for optimum health and body function. However, due to the increased refining of modern foods, the typical American diet is lacking fiber.

Fiber plays a number of roles in our bodies. Proper levels of fiber intake in the diet may help prevent colon cancer, constipation, hemorrhoids, and obesity. Fiber may also help stabilize blood sugar levels. In addition, fiber is known to support normal blood cholesterol levels. Soluble Fiber Provides Digestive System Benefits Fiber is generally categorized as soluble or insoluble. Insoluble fiber helps move materials through the digestive track and is particularly helpful for constipation or irregular stools.

Soluble fiber is broken down into a gelatinous material and is particularly helpful in supporting normal blood cholesterol and glucose levels. Supports Growth of Beneficial Bacteria Very Berry Fiber contains Inulin, a soluble fiber. Inulin makes it through the stomach and duodenum undigested making itself available to the gut bacterial flora. Inulin is a very effective prebiotic, stimulating growth of beneficial bacteria.

Because of its ability to pass through to the intestine, inulin may be more effective than many probiotic formulas which have difficulty getting through the stomach undigested. Inulin also helps increase calcium absorption and possibly magnesium.
