Fiber-Plex 120c

Fiber-Plex 120c by Douglas Laboratories – Digestive Health Fiber Supplement

Fiber-Plex capsules by Douglas Laboratories are a grain-free fiber supplement combining soluble and insoluble fibers from konjac, vegetables, fruit pectins, seaweed and slippery elm. This 120-capsule formula brings together fibers with different water-binding and fermentation properties for nutritional digestive health support.

Key Fiber-Plex 120c Benefits

• Supports everyday digestive health with a blend of naturally occurring fibers that complements fiber from a balanced diet.
• Provides water-binding fibers that help maintain stool bulk and normal bowel regularity when taken with adequate fluid.
• Supplies fermentable fibers that nourish intestinal bacteria, supporting their production of short-chain fatty acids used by cells in the colon.

How Fiber-Plex 120c Works

Fiber travels through the digestive tract without being broken down by your digestive enzymes in the same way as sugars and starches. Water-binding components help retain moisture in intestinal contents, while less-fermentable fibers contribute bulk. Carrot Root and Celery Stalk and Leaves provide a mixture of these plant fibers, complementing the soluble fibers in the blend.

Intestinal bacteria can use fermentable fibers as food, producing short-chain fatty acids that nourish the colon lining. These complementary roles support bowel regularity and everyday intestinal function. Fiber-Plex supplements dietary fiber; it does not replace fiber-rich foods or adequate fluids.

Key Functional Ingredients Include:

• Glucomannan: This soluble fiber from konjac binds water and forms a thickened mixture in the digestive tract. That water-holding property helps maintain moisture and bulk in intestinal contents. Because it expands with fluid, taking the capsules with the label-directed amount of water is important.
• Citrus Pectin: This fermentable soluble fiber provides food for intestinal bacteria. As those bacteria break it down, they produce short-chain fatty acids that help nourish cells lining the colon. It contributes a fermentable component to the formula’s mix of dietary fibers.
• Apple Pectin: Apple-derived pectin is another soluble fiber that intestinal bacteria can ferment. Alongside citrus pectin, it contributes to the supply of fiber available for microbial fermentation, complementing the less-fermentable vegetable fibers that provide bulk.
• Sodium Alginate: This seaweed-derived soluble fiber binds water and thickens when hydrated. Its physical properties add a different water-binding component to the blend, complementing the plant fibers rather than acting as a digestive enzyme.
• Slippery Elm Bark: Slippery elm supplies mucilage, a plant material that becomes gel-like when mixed with water. This helps explain its role as a moisture-holding fiber component alongside glucomannan and pectins in the formula’s blend of different fiber sources.

Fiber-Plex 120c Is Formulated For

• Adults seeking a grain-free blend of dietary fiber sources to complement food-based fiber.
