Fiber Supplement
FiberGI is a GI-formulated soluble fiber supplement that may help supplement your daily fiber shortcomings.
The American Dietetic Association (ADA) recommends that the average adult consume 25-35 grams of dietary fiber per day. Research has shown that the average American only consumes 14 to 15 grams per day.
To reach the recommended amount of fiber, consumption of dietary fiber from foods like: plants, vegetables, legumes, fruits, and grains should be consumed in sufficient amounts. Never-the-less, a fiber supplement like FiberGI may be used when food intake is low, which is the case among inactive elderly, or as a common clinical solution.
2 daily premium FiberGI Vegetarian capsules can help to offset your daily fiber short-comings.
* Do not consume during acute flare-ups
