Fibersol®: The Problem-Solver
As a plant-based prebiotic fiber backed by science, Fibersol® gives you an edge, so you can deliver the nutritional products that today’s consumers want.
Filling the Fiber Gap
Fibersol® can help you fill consumers’ fiber gap between adequate intake and actual intake of dietary fiber. It can be a challenge for consumers to achieve the daily recommended value of fiber (28g for a typical 2,000 calorie/day diet in the U.S.) by simply consuming foods that are naturally high in fiber. That’s where Fibersol® comes in.
The Benefits Consumers Want
Problem-solving Fibersol® can add fiber—to virtually any application—with little to no impact on taste or texture, consumers’ top drivers when it comes to food and beverage purchases. Comfort is also of the utmost importance to consumers, who may abandon their efforts to consume more fiber if they encounter gastrointestinal discomfort.
Fibersol® can help your brand deliver the benefits consumers are looking for, including:
Prebiotic Benefits: Unlock Probiotics’ Potential
Fibersol® is a premier line of soluble prebiotic fibers that may help modulate the microbiome by nourishing the intestinal flora and promoting the growth of good bacteria.* And, since it is a well-tolerated prebiotic fiber, it invites consumers to come back for more.
Sugar Reduction: An Ideal Solution
Consumers want food and beverage options with reduced levels of added sugars, but they will not sacrifice taste nor texture to get them. Fibersol® can support sugar reduction by helping to build back structural integrity, improve mouthfeel and mask off notes from high-intensity sweeteners. It can be used up to 15 grams (dry basis) in any application and still add approximately 0.30 grams of sugars (typical value) to any given formulation.**
Digestive Health: Solving Consumers’ Discomfort Concerns
Consumers want digestive health benefits to address their everyday concerns, but they report that encountering a bad digestive experience will keep them from purchasing a fiber-enriched product again.1 Well-tolerated Fibersol® allows for positive nutrition with minimal gastrointestinal discomfort.
Satiety: Key to Keeping Hunger at Bay
Prompted by weight management efforts, holistic health concerns and more, consumers value products with satiety benefits to help them feel fuller, longer, decreasing the urge to snack in between meals. A clinical study has shown that 10g of Fibersol® with a meal may delay hunger and stimulated appetite-regulating hormones in healthy adults.
Proactive Health: Answering the Demand
Many of today’s consumers are choosing wholesome foods in an effort to promote a better lifestyle, support their immune system and try to prevent specific health conditions. Based on clinical studies, Fibersol® brings positive nutrition to your products, helping you meet consumers’ needs and desires regarding proactive health and giving you the opportunity to offer nutritional products that support targeted benefits and consumer messaging.
