Natural Fiber for Digestive Benefits Vitabase Natural Fiber Concentrate is a cholesterol-free powder designed to provide several types of soluble fiber along with other beneficial ingredients to support good health. Psyllium seed powder, rice bran, guar gum, and apple and citrus pectin are all soluble fibers.

Psyllium is perhaps the best-known fiber because it is used in many other products. Psyllium, a good intestinal cleanser and stool softener, is recommended for diarrhea, constipation, and the overall maintenance of colon health. Additional Ingredients Provide Other Benefits To further enhance the action of fiber, our formula includes several additional ingredients. Reishi mushrooms have been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine. In recent years scientific studies have verified several potential applications for the mushrooms including stimulating the immune system. Further studies are necessary before specific health benefits can be determined.

Lactobacillus acidophilus is bacteria that inhabit the gastrointestinal tract, where they secrete enzymes that support healthy digestion. Acidophilus can be reduced by illness and antibiotic use. Increasing the number of friendly bacteria helps restore a healthy microflora balance in the body.

Natural Fiber Concentrate comes in a convenient powder that may be mixed with eight ounces of water or simply sprinkled over or mixed into your regular food. Whenever you take additional fiber into your diet, be sure to drink adequate amounts of fluids to avoid potential problems.
