How much of the fiber in Better Fiber is soluble versus insoluble?Updated 4 hours ago
Great question! First, a quick refresher: soluble fiber dissolves in water and forms a gel-like consistency, while insoluble fiber doesn't dissolve and adds bulk. Most whole-plant foods contain a mix of both.
While we don't have an exact gram-by-gram breakdown of how much is soluble versus insoluble, we can share which ingredients in Better Fiber contribute each type, since Better Fiber is designed with a blend of both:
Ingredients that provide mainly soluble fiber:
Psyllium Husk – our primary fiber source, and predominantly soluble
Slippery Elm Bark – a soluble, mucilage-forming fiber
Inulin – a soluble prebiotic fiber
Aloe Ferox – contributes soluble fiber
Ingredients that provide mainly insoluble fiber:
Black Walnut Hulls – insoluble
Chlorella – its plant-cell structure contributes insoluble fiber
Ingredients that offer a mix of both:
Ginger Root, Papaya, Hyssop, and Acai Berry – these plant powders naturally contain a combination of soluble and insoluble fiber
We hope this helps, and let us know if you have more questions!
