MultiFiber TLC™Multi Fiber TLC brings you the latest technology in fiber supplementation through a triple-action formulation that helps improve gastrointestinal health and function.* Is your digestive system able to effectively absorb the nutrients you eat? Does your gastrointestinal tract harbor enough of the "friendly bacteria" essential to digestive function? Do you suffer occasional constipation because of stress or simply your daily routine? If you are not satisfied with your answers to any of those questions, you need more fiber in your diet.*
Many people believe that a host of health complaints originate in a gastrointestinal system that isn't functioning well. How do we keep the gastrointestinal tract healthy? Through proper nutrition, exercise, stress reduction techniques, and dietary fiber. Fiber is found in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, but many people do not consume enough of those wholesome foods. With MultiFiber TLC, brings you the latest technology in fiber supplementation through a triple-action formulation that helps improve gastrointestinal health and function.*
Hardly a week passes without a news report reaffirming that fiber is essential to good health but that people don't get enough fiber in their diets. By combining four different fibers, MultiFiber TLC brings you the latest scientific understanding of what our digestive systems need to work properly. How much better will you feel when your digestive system is tuned up, flushed out, and running smoothly? With MultiFiber TLC, you can find out.*
A crucial part of our daily diet, fiber consists of vegetable carbohydrates that cannot be digested by enzymes secreted in the small intestine, and reach the large intestine with little or no change. Fiber affects bowel functioning in several important ways, from how fast the stomach empties to how nutrients are absorbed and the consistency and frequency of stools.
Fiber is categorized as insoluble or soluble. Insoluble fiber, which does not dissolve in water, includes woody or structural plant parts, such as fruit and vegetable skins and the bran coating kernels of unprocessed grain. Insoluble fiber passes through the entire gastrointestinal system largely unchanged and helps speed up the passage of food in the digestive tract. Soluble fiber, which does dissolve in water, is found in the pulpy or fleshy parts of fruits and vegetables. Soluble fiber has the consistency of a gel and tends to slow the passage of food through the digestive tract. Another way to categorize fibers is whether or not they undergo fermentation in the large intestine. Fermentation is important because its byproducts nourish intestinal cells, stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria, increase blood flow, stimulate water and salt uptake, and increase colon motility. Unfermentable fibers shorten intestinal passage time, absorb fluid in the colon, and improve intestinal regulation.
