TYPES OF FIBER
All fiber is not the same, and it doesn’t work in your system the same way, either. Fiber can be categorized in two distinct ways:
INSOLUBLE OR SOLUBLE
Insoluble fiber doesn’t absorb water; soluble fiber does. Both help material move through your digestive tract, but soluble fiber can help give stool a softer, bulkier consistency that’s easier to pass.
FERMENTABLE OR NON-FERMENTABLE
Many soluble fibers ferment in the large intestine, creating unnecessary, and uncomfortable gas.
Citrucel® with Methylcellulose Fiber is proven to help relieve constipation by restoring and maintaining regularity without causing excess gas.*
*Based on laboratory testing. Individual results may vary.
