One of the most important impacts of Prebiotin prebiotic fiber supplement is bowel regularity. Bowel regularity can mean different things to different people. To some, it means a soft, easy to pass, bowel movement. To others, it may mean just having a bowel movement every day. And, some people would be happy with every other day.
Two things are critical in a healthy bowel pattern. One is the stimulus to the colon wall. The colon generally contracts in a pattern that is consistent for each person. To enhance this contraction pattern, stool bulk is important. When stool bulk pushes against the bowel wall, the colon pushes back, contracting and moving waste along.
Increased bulk occurs with fiber. Insoluble fiber as in wheat bran hangs onto water and provides a soft stool. So does the soluble fiber, psyllium, which contains mucilage, that avidly clings to water. Soluble prebiotic fibers such as oligofructose and inulin produce regularity in a different way. These prebiotic fibers stimulate the growth of good bacteria and increase stool bulk by the dramatic increase in the number of good bacteria. A mix of prebiotic soluble fibers and insoluble fibers is best. So eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, and by all means, supplement it with Prebiotin™ prebiotic fiber supplement.
