What makes
smartfiberstixx
so smart?
|
|
Because
smartfiberstixx
is not digested and absorbed in the small intestine, and thus
ends up in the colon, it's defined as a dietary fiber.
However, once in the colon,
smartfiberstixx
stands out against other dietary fibers as it selectively
stimulates the growth of healthy bacteria, such as
bifidibacterium, while not supporting the growth of some not
so healthy bacteria, such as Clostridia.
In the scientific
community this makes
smartfiberstixx
a prebiotic dietary fiber.
Prebiotics
are different than Probiotics, which are viable
microbial dietary supplements that are often added to familiar
foods like yoghurt.
Prebiotics are
food for Probiotics!

the beneficial effect of which are a matter of historical record,
