Suffering from constipation,
intestinal gas, and bloating?
TruFiber soluble fiber is
uniquely formulated to restore regularity
fast…
TruFiber reduces
intestinal gas and restores natural elimination
fast!
It’s easy,
taste-free and dissolves rapidly in water
or juice.
TruFiber
reduces constipation and diarrhea by
stimulating probiotic microflora with two
prebiotics.
TruFiber™ is
vegetarian. It contains no wheat, gluten, soy,
corn, rye, milk, casein, peanuts, yeast, or
animal products.
TruFiber™
contains two unique sources of soluble,
prebiotic fiber: Sunfiber® and
Inulin.
Prebiotics feed
the probiotic bacteria and enhance the
colonizing process of this bacteria in the
intestines.
Sunfiber® or PHGG
is derived from seeds of the guar plant and is
partially hydrolyzed to improve solubility and
reduce viscosity.
Sunfiber® has been clinically proven to
improve regularity at levels corresponding
to two servings of TruFiber™.
Inulin is
isolated from roots of the chicory plant. It
has a lower molecular weight (shorter
carbohydrate chains) than PHGG and provides a
synergistic prebiotic effect.
One serving or
one level scoop (11 cc) of TruFiber™ provides
slightly more than 14% of the recommended 25
gram Daily Value for fiber. TruFiber™ is a
taste-free, white powder that mixes fast and
clear with no grit or thickening.

FIBERASE™ BIFIDOGENIC
ENZYMES
TruFiber™
contains
the Fiberase™ complex of fiber digesting
enzymes. These enzymes are not produced in the
human body but occur naturally throughout the
plant kingdom; they are listed above in Table
#1 along with their corresponding enzymatic
activity per serving. Fiberase™ enzymes are
called bifidogenic because they improve the
prebiotic activity of fiber present in fruits,
vegetables and whole grains resulting in
enhanced stimulation of Bifidobacteria.
Fiberase™
enzymes are
also lactogenic, meaning they stimulate the
growth of various Lactobacillus probiotics
(Patent Pending).
PROBIOTIC
STIMULATION
The two prebiotic
fiber sources in TruFiber™
stimulate
both Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus
probiotics by directly providing a microbial
food source within the intestinal tract.
The Fiberase™
enzyme
complex improves the prebiotic activity of
whole foods in the diet by partially digesting
their long chain fiber residues, and provides
time-released microbial nutrition. The dual
action of prebiotic fiber plus
Fiberase™
enzymes is
synergistic.
For added
effectiveness TruFiber™ can be taken with a
high potency probiotic such as Theralac®.
Note: Certain
prebiotics such as the fructooligosaccharides
(FOS) are not as selective for probiotics as
the Sun
fiber®
and
Inulin
used
in TruFiber™
. Excess
bloating and gas can result when
non-probiotic bacteria are stimulated by
products containing FOS type
prebiotics.
FUNCTIONAL
ACTIONS
TruFiber™
has been
shown to improve the following:
-
Constipation, gas and
poor elimination
-
Diarrhea
and loose stools
-
Poor
absorption of calcium and
magnesium
-
Low
Bifidobacteria levels in
colon
-
Low
Lactobacillus CFU in small
intestine
-
High
cholesterol and
triglycerides
The most common
response to taking TruFiber™
is improved
regularity with more uniform stool consistency,
and intestinal comfort. Improvements in
nutrient absorption result in enhanced energy
and a greater feeling of wellness.
