So many Americans fall short on reaching their fiber goals that it is often called a “nutrient of concern.” Experts call this the “fiber gap,” because only about 5 of every 100 adults get enough. Women ages 19 to 50 should consume about 25 grams daily, while men need 38 grams, according to the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Fiber only comes from plants and it offers plenty of benefits that you miss out on when you don’t get enough: It can promote regularity, satisfy hunger and beat belly bloat.^
Fiber+ Gummies support natural blood sugar and cholesterol levels.^ The gummies deliver 5 grams of fiber in every serving!^
Fiber is the only nutrient that doesn’t get broken down by the digestive system – and it contains zero calories. Consuming adequate amounts of fiber supports regularity, helps beat the bloat and more.^
Whole, unprocessed foods that deliver fiber also provide carbohydrates, since fiber is a type of indigestible carbohydrate. Low-carbohydrate diets and gluten-free diets may not include enough fiber, and their popularity is a contributing factor to the “fiber gap.”
Our reliance on convenience foods and processed carbohydrates is another reason. Diets that are rich in fiber score high in benefits for mind and body – from the Mediterranean diet to a plant-based one. But those diets are also based on whole foods, which require time and energy to prepare and consume. In today’s busy modern world where we rarely get to slow down, let alone eat a balanced meal while sitting down at a table, it can be a challenge to consume enough fiber. Our Fiber+ Gummies are one easy way to chip away at your daily goal.^
