Bio-Fiber is a dietary supplement without added nutrients. Each tablet contains 460 mg of a natural and balanced blend of soluble and insoluble plant fibers. They come from citrus pectin and sugar beet and compensate for the relatively low fiber content of the modern diet. Bio-Fiber supports digestion by regular and efficient evacuation of the faecal bowl, thus supporting the body's ability to eliminate food residues.

What are fibers?
Fiber is found in many unprocessed foods. Dietary fiber belongs to a group of carbohydrates that are not digested or that are digested to a very small extent and, under the action of digestive enzymes, are broken down into sugar and starch.

Soluble fibers
There are two types of dietary fiber: soluble and insoluble. When mixed with liquids, soluble fiber turns into a gelatinous mass and can increase its weight up to 15 times. A diet that includes this type of fiber adds bulk to intestinal contents and slows the passage of food through the small intestine.

Insoluble fibers
Insoluble fibers can absorb water, but not as much. This type of fiber will reduce the amount of time food stays in the gut, just as soluble fiber bulks up intestinal contents. Some of the fiber content will ferment to some degree and serve as food for non-pathogenic intestinal microbial flora.

Fiber and intestinal flora
A normal intestine contains about 1 kg of intestinal bacteria (and in some people about 2 kg), divided into 160 different species. These bacteria break down difficult-to-digest proteins and carbohydrates in food and depend on the presence of a certain amount of dietary fiber. The food we ingest is important for the number and distribution of different species of bacteria.

In addition to processing fiber from food, these gut bacteria secrete various substances (neurotransmitters) that influence metabolism and regulate appetite. They all support the immune defense process through the lymphatic cells in the intestinal mucosa.

The eating habits of Europeans
The diet of Europeans has changed significantly compared to the last century. 100 years ago, many fruits, vegetables and grains with a high fiber content were consumed. As the consumption of refined foods has increased, the fiber content of the daily diet has greatly decreased.

What are the types of fibers?
Cellulose is found in the cell wall of plants and belongs to a type of carbohydrate that humans cannot digest because the body does not synthesize the enzymes that can break down these carbohydrates. In the body, cellulose absorbs only a small amount of liquid. Fruits and vegetables are the most important sources of cellulose.
Hemicellulose is also a non-digestible carbohydrate. Together with pectin, it forms a matrix that encloses the cellulose fibers found in plant cell walls.
Pectin is an indigestible fiber found in most plant cell walls. Pectin from unripe fruit is predominantly insoluble. As the fruit ripens, the pectin becomes predominantly soluble. Pectin is used, for example, in the manufacture of jellies.
Lignin is not considered a carbohydrate, it belongs to a separate group of substances. The lignin content of plant cell walls varies. Lignin is what gives wood hardness, being practically indigestible.
