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!
