Tomorrow’s Nutrition, Sunfiber

Sunfiber is an all natural truly regulating soluble dietary fiber derived from the guar bean that has an optimal gut transit time.* Sunfiber was awarded Grade A Fiber Consensus Recommendation and a Level 1 Evidence Recommendation (Clinical Nutrition Supplements). Sunfiber acts as the perfect food source for probiotics as well as increasing the helpful bacteria and decreasing the harmful bacteria already within our system.*

Sunfiber is a Prebiotic fiber that is unique in comparison to other non galactomannan based fibers. A prebiotic fiber is one that produces “short chain fatty acids” (SCFA) in the gut via a fermentation process. The rate of production of SCFAs is very important. If fermentation occurs rapidly (as is the case with Inulin and other soluble fibers) the result is an excess of uncomfortable bloating and flatulence. The fermentation process of Sunfiber is extremely slow resulting in a higher total amount of SCFAs that are produced over a greater period of time, leading to significantly less gas, bloating and discomfort.

Most of us get just 10 to 15 grams per day.

How much Sunfiber should I consume?

The typical recommended single serving of Sunfiber 7 grams. The current adequate intake for dietary fiber is 25 grams/day for women and 38 grams/day for men. The daily amount of Sunfiber that should be consumed by healthy people looking to meet the daily recommended level of fiber would be the difference between their fiber intake from food and that of the recommended
fiber intake for men and women.

When should I take Sunfiber?

Sunfiber may be taken at any time of the day but is often recommended to take first thing in the morning to get your digestive system on track for a comfortable and healthy day. Take with your morning cereal, yogurt, smoothie or add to your water bottle to take with you on the go.

Sunfiber is appropriate for all ages to address digestive irregularity and to maintain regularity.* The recommended dosage of 1 serving (7 grams) is the same for all ages above 9 months.

Can Sunfiber be added to hot foods and liquids?

Sunfiber is tasteless and mixes easily into many foods and beverages. Sunfiber may be added to any recipe when cooking and baking. Simply stir in Sunfiber until dissolved.

Why is it not recommended to mix with carbonated beverages?

The recommendation not to mix Sunfiber with carbonated beverages is simply that the carbonation can make it difficult to dissolve the product. Other than that, there is
nothing wrong with consuming Sunfiber with carbonated water or other carbonated beverages.
