Fiber-Plex

Fiber-Plex

Fiber-Plex, provided by Douglas Laboratories, is a convenient dietary supplement designed to provide a unique combination of all major classes of naturally occurring dietary fiber. Fiber-Plex capsules supply a balance of soluble and insoluble, as well as fermentable and non-fermentable dietary fiber.

Functions

Dietary fiber is defined as complex carbohydrates that are resistant to the action of digestive enzymes, and therefore pass through the intestinal tract, unabsorbed. Dietary fiber includes substances such as cellulose, hemicellulose (xylans, galactans and mannans), pectins, gums, and lignin.

Dietary fiber has many nutritional benefits for the health of the gastrointestinal tract. Insoluble dietary fiber, such as cellulose and many hemicelluloses, are not efficiently fermented in the colon. As a result, they provide fecal bulk, bind water, and help soften stools.

Indications

Fiber-Plex may be taken as a dietary supplement for individuals who wish to increase their intake of a broad spectrum of nutritionally important dietary fiber sources.
