• Promotes Bowel Regularity
• Contains Naturally Occurring Lignans
• Contains Flavonoids for Enhanced Detoxification
• Both Soluble and Insoluble Fiber

Gentle Fibers provides:
• Dietary fibers preferred by Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria for fermentation and replication, which encourage healthy intestinal microflora balance.
• A spectrum of naturally occurring flavonoids: hesperidin, naringen, limocitrol and others.
• Both Soluble (Pectin and Mucilage) and Insoluble (Cellulose and Hemicellulose) fibers for bowel function and glycemic balance.
• Lignans from flax seed meal. Lignans have been shown to support healthy cell replication and cardiovascular function.
• IP6 (Inositol Hexaphosphate), from rice bran, promotes normal cell replication and helps provide cell protection.

Bitter flavor notes of Gentle Fibers are due to the flavonoids from citrus fruits. These flavonoids are powerful antioxidants providing beneficial effects on anti-inflammatory pathways and the body’s detoxification mechanisms.

For best increase in intestinal friendly flora, take Gentle Fibers with Jarro-Dophilus.
