Pharma Nords Bio-Fiber 80 is a good supplement for maintaining a health digestive system. It is a fibre from vegetable sources which helps compensate for the insufficient fibre content in many modern diets. Bio-Fibre 80 is a concentrated fibre tablet which can help compensate for the low fibre content in highly processed diets. It contains not less than 80% dietary fibre. However, fibre content of food supplements is not the only important factor involved. The relationship between the most common types of fibre is also vital. Bio-Fibre 80 contains all four types of fibre in the appropriate proportions. Fibre content has fallen progressively throughout the 20th century, & modern diets with a high content of processed food contain much reduced or little dietary fibre. It is not just the overall level of fibre in the diet which is important, but also the relative amounts of the main types of fibre:- cellulose, hemicellulose, lignan & pectin
- All of which are present in Bio-Fiber. Dietary fibre components reduce blood lipid levels by binding to (and promoting excretion of) cholesterol & bile acids, assist in the removal of toxins & cancer causing substances from the colonic wall, & are partially degraded by colonic bacteria to yield short chain fatty acids, that act as an energy source for the colonic mucosa.
