Green Earth Fiber

Health Benefits

Green Earth Fiber promotes intestinal and colon health, aids in the transit of food through the intestines, and assists weight control by providing a satiety effect. Green Earth Fiber promotes the absorption of essential minerals and helps the body combat increased blood glucose levels by controlling the glycemic index of foods. 

Remarkable Physical and Chemical Properties 

Green Earth Fiber is among the most versatile of all dietary fibers. It is highly soluble in water, colorless, odorless, tasteless, and gluten-free. It also features a very low viscosity, remains stable at low pH levels, and is extremely resistant to high temperatures. Its appearance is a fine white powder, and in solution is transparent. These factors make Green Earth Fiber a super choice for a wide range of applications, including fruit juices, carbonated and  
noncarbonated beverages, including coffee, milk, and tea; as well as yogurts, creams, and bakery products. 

Provides Solid Regularity

Usually fibers can help alleviate constipation; however, Green Earth Fiber performs without the common side effects of diarrhea. Green Earth Fiber alleviates constipation without overly decreased stool firmness, and provides regularity with healthy consistency. 

Superior Absorption of Calcium and Magnesium

The majority of dietary fibers limit the absorption of essential minerals such as magnesium and calcium into the body. 
Green Earth Fiber, on the other hand, actually promotes the absorption of such encouraging minerals, ensuring the human body receives the maximum benefits from digestible foods. 

Green Earth Fiber is a secret weapon for anybody suffering from glucose intolerance or troubles with blood glucose management, especially diabetics. Regardless of whether Green Earth Fiber is taken with food or ingested with water during a meal, it assists the body in combating increased blood glucose levels by manipulating the glycemic index of 
foods.

Green Earth Fiber delivers 6 grams of clinically proven, clear, grit-free soluble fiber. A true regulating fiber improves both conditions of occasional constipation and poor elimination, as well as diarrhea and loose stools. The result is regularity with healthy consistency.*

Short Chain Fatty Acids. There are basically three main types of SCFA. They are Acetates, Propionates, and Butyrate’s. Of the three types, (and this is important) the acetates and propionates are beneficial, but they tend to transfer through the walls of the intestine and are then metabolized in the muscle or liver. Only the butyrates remain in the digestive system and act as a food/energy source for the beneficial microflora. 

What benefits does Green Earth Fiber offer over other soluble fibers? In addition to delivering soluble fiber and a number of clinically substantiated health benefits (see below), the following are some key benefits that consumers can easily understand and appreciate related to Green Earth fiber:

• Green Earth Fiber is a “true regulating” fiber in that it not only helps with constipation, but uniquely helps with diarrhea as well, returning stool content to a normal, healthy state.
• Unlike other soluble fibers, Green Earth Fiber will not lead to a state of diarrhea with frequent consumption. 
• Well tolerated and does not lead to the typical bloating, cramping, and gas production that other fibers are known for with daily consumption. 
• Regulates moisture and electrolyte exchange in the stomach.
• Improves absorption of minerals, including Ca, Fe, and Zn.
• Tasteless, colorless, odorless. No effect on mouth feel or viscosity.

Unlike other fibers, Green Earth Fiber does not “block” the gut, but rather slows the gastric transit time and increases the satiation hormone CCK, resulting in a comfortably full feeling. The scientifically determined energy value for Green Earth Fiber is 1.9 kcal/gram.
