Citrucel Fiber Sugar Free, 42 Ounces
WHY DO I NEED FIBER?
-
Fiber is a dietary material containing substances that are resistant to the action of digestive enzymes.
Fiber
adds bulk and texture to foods. As it passes through the body, fiber
helps your system stay regular, and that’s why many doctors recommend
fiber to help manage constipation.
All fiber is not the same, and
it doesn’t work in your system the same way, either. Fiber can be
categorized by two distinct characteristics:
Insoluble or soluble
Insoluble
fiber doesn’t absorb water; soluble fiber does. Both help material move
through your digestive tract, but soluble fiber, like Citrucel, can
help give stool a softer, bulkier consistency that’s easier to pass.
Fermentable or non-fermentable
Many
soluble fibers ferment in the large intestine, creating unnecessary,
and uncomfortable gas. Citrucel with Methylcellulose Fiber powder gives
your body the fiber benefits it needs without causing excess gas.*

FIBER AND YOUR DIET
-
That’s 10-20 grams less than recommended, according to the American Dietetic Association. -
Eating foods that are rich in fiber can help increase regularity. If
you experience digestive irregularity, Citrucel with Methylcellulose
Fiber powder (a bulk fiber laxative) can help restore regularity.Always Read and Follow Label Directions.
MANAGE CONSTIPATION AND GAS
-
How Citrucel helps manage constipation:
Citrucel
with Methylcellulose Fiber is a bulk fiber laxative. Methylcellulose
fiber is not digested by the body and can absorb up to 20 times its
weight in water. This allows material in the digestive tract to take on
bulk and a soft texture as it passes through the body. Methylcellulose
fiber keeps stools from being excessivly dry and hard. These bulkier
stools are easier to pass, so if you suffer from constipation, Citrucel
with Methylcellulose Fiber can help keep things moving. -
Citrucel also limits excess gas:
Almost
all types of soluble fiber can ferment in your digestive system and
cause excess gas. And if you’re taking a fermentable fiber supplement
like psyllium to improve regularity, you could actually be making your
digestive system even more sensitive. Citrucel with Methylcellulose
FIber powder restores and maintains your regularity, and it’s also the
only fiber that won’t ferment and cause excess gas.**Based on laboratory testing. Individual results may vary.
