Regularity and Enhanced Intestinal Functionality from NuMedica Fiber Factors

NuMedica Fiber Factors is a great-tasting formula that features soluble and insoluble fiber to enhance regularity and support your intestinal functions. This easy-to-mix formula is ideal for the relief of periodic constipation. This nutritional supplement promotes bowel regularity and helps maintain healthy intestinal activity. Fiber is an essential part of a healthy diet. If you don't get the fiber you need on a regular basis, you may suffer irregularity. Moreover, fiber also helps promote healthy cholesterol levels and supports overall heart health.

Two Types of Fiber for Improved Regularity

There are two types of fiber and, for optimum health, you need to have both. Soluble fiber dissolves when mixed with water or swells just like when you add water to oatmeal. Soluble fiber is known to reduce bad cholesterol levels and is also associated with stable blood-sugar levels. Insoluble fiber does not dissolve in water. It is essential for providing bulk to stools and increasing regularity. Examples of soluble fiber include beans and fruits. When you get busy, as most of us do, you may skip a few healthy, balanced meals containing the essential fiber you need. NuMedica Fiber Factors ensures that you get this important fiber even when your diet doesn't provide it.

Benefits of Fiber

Studies have shown that fiber supports healthy blood-sugar levels by slowing your digestive tract's breakdown of carbohydrates. This delayed process ensures that the release of sugar into your system is also slowed. Researchers have also found that a fiber-rich diet is linked to a 40% reduced risk of heart disease. Fiber may also contribute to a reduced risk of stroke. If you are trying to lose weight, a fiber supplement helps you to feel full so you are less likely to eat between meals. With plenty of fiber in your diet, you may also reduce your risk of diverticulitis and also more effectively ward off acne, hemorrhoids, and gallstones.

Nutrient/Ingredient	Amount	% Daily ValueDV ¹
Calories Calories When people talk about the calories in food, what do they mean? A calorie is a unit of measurement—but it doesn't measure weight or length. A calorie is a unit of energy. When you hear something contains 100 calories, it's a way of describing how much energy your body could get from eating or drinking it.

Total Fat Total Fat This number on a food label indicates how much fat is in a single serving of a food. Limit total fat to less than 25% to 35% percent of the calories you consume each day. All fats have 9 calories per gram. WebMD, https://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/definitions-glossary	4 g
Saturated Fat Saturated Fat Usually solid at room temperature, saturated fats are found in animal products such as meat and milk, as well as in coconut and palm oil. Saturated fat is often used in foods to prevent rancidity and off flavors. No more than 5% to 10% of your total daily calories should come from saturated fat.

Total Carbohydrate Total Carbohydrate This number on a food label indicates how many grams of carbohydrates are in a single serving of a food. WebMD, https://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/definitions-glossary	8 g
Dietary Fiber Dietary Fiber The part of plant foods that we cannot digest. Whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds contain fiber. Fiber helps fill you up, can help lower cholesterol, and keeps you regular. You need at least 25 to 38 grams daily. To be considered high in fiber, a food must contain least 5 grams per serving.

Protein Protein Protein in food labeling is the amount of Protein in 100g of the total component. From a nutritional point of view Protein quality labeling is associated with the number and types of amino acid found that can complement the body amino acid requirement and how much of the amino acid in the particular food is appropriate for body protein formation, which is associated with biological value, digestibility, efficiency ratio, and amino acid ration. Protein in nutrition plays a crucial role in almost all biological processes and amino acids are the building blocks of it. A large proportion of our cells, muscles and tissue is made up of amino acids, meaning they carry out many important bodily functions, such as giving cells their structure.

Sodium Sodium While sodium (commonly called salt) is vital for healthy nerves and muscles, most of us get too much salt in our diet, often from processed foods. Read food labels to help keep your sodium intake to 2,300 milligrams a day or less. Persons 51 and older, African Americans, or people who have hypertension, diabetes or chronic kidney disease should limit sodium to 1500 milligrams daily.

Vitamin A Vitamin A A nutrient that the body needs in small amounts to function and stay healthy. Vitamin A helps in vision, bone growth, reproduction, growth of epithelium (cells that line the internal and external surfaces of the body), and fighting infections. It is fat-soluble (can dissolve in fats and oils). Vitamin A is found in liver, egg yolks, and whole milk dairy products from animals and in fish oils. It can also be made in the body from a substance found in some fruits and vegetables, such as cantaloupes, carrots, spinach, and sweet potatoes. Vitamin A is being studied in the prevention and treatment of some types of cancer. Also called retinol.

Vitamin C Vitamin C Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble nutrient found in some foods. In the body, it acts as an antioxidant, helping to protect cells from the damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are compounds formed when our bodies convert the food we eat into energy. People are also exposed to free radicals in the environment from cigarette smoke, air pollution, and ultraviolet light from the sun. https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminC-Consumer/ View Supplements Using: Vitamin C	0 %
Calcium Calcium Calcium is a mineral found in many foods. The body needs calcium to maintain strong bones and to carry out many important functions. Almost all calcium is stored in bones and teeth, where it supports their structure and hardness. National Institutes of Health, Office of Dietary Supplements View Supplements Using: Calcium	6 %
Iron Iron Iron is a mineral that is naturally present in many foods, added to some food products, and available as a dietary supplement. Iron is an essential component of hemoglobin, an erythrocyte (red blood cell) protein that transfers oxygen from the lungs to the tissues. As a component of myoglobin, another protein that provides oxygen, iron supports muscle metabolism and healthy connective tissue. Iron is also necessary for physical growth, neurological development, cellular functioning, and synthesis of some hormones.
