Sunfiber^® 30-Day

Sunfiber^® is an all-natural, regulating soluble dietary fiber derived from the guar bean. Sunfiber^® acts as the perfect food source for probiotics, helping increase beneficial bacteria and reduce harmful bacteria in the gut.*

Insoluble fiber adds bulk to stool (found in grains, nuts, seeds, and fruit skins). Soluble fiber dissolves in water. The right soluble fiber supports digestion, feeds good bacteria, moderates glucose levels, helps lower cholesterol, and promotes satiety.* Some soluble fibers, however, ferment too quickly, causing gas, bloating, or even diarrhea. Sunfiber^® is a soluble, low-FODMAP fiber that supports digestive health without these side effects.*

Prebiotics are food for probiotics. The right prebiotic fiber is essential for probiotics to thrive - but it must be gentle and well tolerated. Sunfiber^® is unique among prebiotic fibers: it ferments steadily, producing more short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) over time, without causing excess gas or bloating.*

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.

SCFAs are small compounds produced by fermentation of dietary fiber by gut bacteria. The three primary SCFAs are acetate, propionate, and butyrate. Butyrate fuels the cells of the colon and supports intestinal health.*

Guar gum is a viscous, water-soluble carbohydrate from the guar seed, used in foods as a thickener and stabilizer. Sunfiber^®, however, is a low-viscosity form called partially hydrolyzed guar gum (PHGG). It dissolves completely and is used as a gentle fiber source in supplements and functional foods.

Sunfiber^® has been affirmed as GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe) by an expert panel at a level up to 60 grams per day and is approved as a fiber source by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Health Canada and other countries.

Sunfiber^® natural guar fiber has been classified as a 100 percent natural ingredient by the International Organization for Standardization (technical specification ISO 19657:2017). Sunfiber^® starts with natural guar beans which are grown in fields that are not treated with chemicals. No preservatives or additives are used or added during manufacturing. Sunfiber^® is certified Kosher, Halal, vegetarian (not of any animal origin nor derivative) and non-GMO Project Verified, Glyphosate Residue Free and 100% Gluten free.

Each serving of Sunfiber^® contains just 15 calories.

Sunfiber^® should be kept in a cool and dry place. Keep away from excess light, heat and moisture.

FODMAPs (Fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols) are poorly absorbed sugars that may trigger digestive discomfort in those with IBS or other functional GI disorders. Many high-fiber foods are also high in FODMAPs, making it difficult to meet daily fiber needs while following a low FODMAP diet. Sunfiber^® is proud to be the first prebiotic fiber to achieve Low-FODMAP Certification by Monash University.

At recommended dosages, side effects like gas, bloating, or diarrhea are virtually nonexistent.

25 grams/day for women and 38 grams/day for men, yet most people only get 10–15 grams. Sunfiber^® helps close this gap.

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 recommendedfiber intake for men and women.

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 safe and has long been used during pregnancy and lactation, though you should consult your healthcare practitioner before use.

Appropriate for all ages above 9 months. One 6-gram serving is recommended.

Sunfiber^® is stable in hot foods or 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.
