Skinny Fiber is a 100% natural combination of fibers derived from fruits, vegetables, roots, seeds, and tree extracts with added friendly bacteria and prebiotics. This product was designed to be free of grains which can be both allergenic and problematic to those detoxifying and trying to lose body fat. It is also free of irritating herbs found in other colon products and fibers that cause bowel movement by artificially stimulating the colon to release its contents.
Everyone can benefit from Skinny Fiber:
The RDA of fiber is 25-30g/day, but because the modern diet is deficient in fiber as well as fruits and vegetables most Americans only average about 15g per day.
Fiber supports appetite reduction, increases intestinal bulk, slows down stomach emptying and slows transit time of food through the GI tract. All of this contributes to appetite reduction and insoluble fiber may stimulate receptors on the stomach/intestinal wall by increasing CCK (the satiety neurotransmitter) or reducing ghrelin (a hunger hormone).
Fiber supports fat loss by reducing appetite, calories absorbed, and the insulin response. One study reported that 14g/day of fiber added to an unrestricted diet was associated with an average body weight loss of 4 lbs during four months.
Fiber supports lowering of glucose and insulin: Soluble fiber slows stomach emptying and the passage of food in the upper part of the intestine. Consequently, both the total amount of glucose and the rate at which it is absorbed is lowered. Since insulin response is proportional to the rate at which glucose appears in the bloodstream, average insulin levels and total insulin output are lowered by fiber consumption. Apple Pectin has been heavily studied for its ability to slow down gastric emptying (great for people who are hungry all the time), aid weight loss, reduce LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, and even diminish post-prandial insulin needs in insulin dependent diabetics.
Fiber supports cholesterol and triglyceride reduction: Soluble fiber binds fatty acids, cholesterol and bile acids and prevents their absorption or reabsorption during circulation. Soluble fiber increases bile acid synthesis creating an avenue for cholesterol excretion. Since insulin stimulates cholesterol and triglyceride synthesis, lowering insulin through fiber may lower blood lipids.
Fiber and cholesterol-lowering medications: Fiber may have a supplementary effect on the cholesterol lowering effects of statins. One study found that a combination of lovastatin and 20g/day of guar gym lowered total cholesterol by 44%, while lovastatin alone only lowered it by 34%.
Fiber supports gastrointestinal health: Soluble fibers can be converted by friendly intestinal bacteria to short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), which can nourish the intestinal cells and help maintain proper colon pH, with reduces growth of pathogenic bacteria. Fiber helps cleanse the colon of toxins and impurities as well, which may reduce the risk of colon cancer.
Prebiotics are one of the newest fields of nutritional research and offer promising benefits for your heart, your immunity and more. Prebiotics stimulate the growth of healthy microflora that populate your large intestine. When these healthy microflora (beneficial bacteria) are allowed to flourish, they help keep you healthy and strong.
Skinny Fiber’s unique features:
Naturally flavored: no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or colors
MIXES WELL & TASTES GREAT!
12 types of fiber: acacia gum, guar gum (from guar seeds), cellulose gum, carrot fiber, cranberry and flax seeds, psyllium husk, apple pectin, orange and prune fiber and two root fibers: inulin (from chicory root) and Konjac Glucomannan
Free of non-paleolithic food extracts: grains (wheat, oat or rice bran) or legumes
(pea, beans or soy fibers).
- gluten and lectin free, low allergenicity
- free of phytates (phytate fiber is found in grains, has an acid load and binds minerals, which interferes with their absorption)
Has significant antioxidant activity from FIBREGUM™ TAN (a unique acacia gum high in polyphenols) and cranberry seed (also high in polyphenols and anthocyanidins that give it its red color).
Negligible caloric value, no significant carbohydrate content (although fiber is required to be listed as g of carbohydrates on food labels)
A good balance of soluble and insoluble fibers, with emphasis on soluble fiber (which is very hard to get from common diets)
Guaranteed purity: free of toxic contaminants
Soluble Fibers in Skinny Fiber include:
guar gum, acacia gum, fruit & vegetable pectins, inulin, psyllium seed and Konjac Glucomannan.
Insoluble Fibers found in Skinny Fiber include:
cellulose (from carrot fiber and psyllium husk) and lignins (such as flax and cranberry seed).
