Apple Fibre is a super fine powder with subtle apple taste and a high content of insoluble and soluble dietary fibre. Made from 100% dried apples the soluble fibre content helps absorb water from the digestive tract, increase the size of the stool whilst normalising its transit time through the bowel. Soluble fibre can be beneficial in cases of constipation and diarrhoea. Having enough fibre in the diet may also have a protective effect against colon cancer, haemorrhoids, diverticulosis and varicose veins. Studies have shown that Apple Fibre, when used as part of a calorie controlled diet, can help enhance weight loss. The fibre has a mild appetite suppressing effect by providing a sense of fullness and improves the process of digestion and elimination by stimulating healthy bowel functioning. The pectin in Apple Fibre helps to normalise the levels of fats in the blood stream. Research shows that Apple Fibre taken each day can have the effect of reducing total cholesterol by up to 10% in people with elevated cholesterol levels. Warning: Without drinking enough liquid the product may swell in the throat, causing blockage or choking. Avoid use if you ever had oesophageal narrowing or swallowing difficulties.
