Dietary fiber may help to prevent cancer, diabetes, heart disease and obesity, according to Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. The U.S. Surgeon General and numerous professional health organizations advise consuming 20-35 grams of dietary fiber per day. However, the typical American diet falls far short of this recommendation, providing only an average of 15.6 grams of fiber daily.1 This is most likely because many of us find it difficult to fit the recommended amounts of fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains into our daily diets. Supplements can help boost our dietary fiber intake, but some powders can be "gloppy" and unpleasant to swallow. The good news: supplementing with fiber just got easier thanks to Rainbow Light's new Smooth & Clear Fiber Solution Powder™ formula. It conveniently delivers 5 grams of odorless, flavorless fiber per serving - 20% of the Recommended Daily Intake and more than any other "instant" product.

Fiber Solution Powder is the newest product in Rainbow Light's top-selling Just Once Naturals line of convenient one-per-day nutritional solutions. It is nearly undetectable when mixed in water or juice, easy to swallow, and guaranteed 100% natural with no artificial flavors, colors, sweeteners or other objectionable additives. Fiber Solution Powder promotes daily regularity, healthy cholesterol and blood sugar balance with 5 grams of soluble and insoluble fiber from oat bran, apple pectin and Fibersol-2® (a patented source of malto-dextrin) to help maintain normal, healthy levels of serum cholesterol and blood triglycerides .

Rainbow Light's Clear & Smooth Fiber Solution Powder provides oat bran fiber for an added cholesterol-balancing benefit, which is unique from other "instant" or "clear" fiber products. Since 1963, study after study has proven the beneficial effects of beta-glucan from oat bran on cholesterol levels. Research on the benefits of Fibersol-2 indicates that it may exert positive effects on blood glucose levels.2 And according to a meta-analysis published in the February 2004 Archives of Internal Medicine, for each 10 gram-per-day increment of fiber consumption, research indicates a 14% lower risk in coronary disease and a 27% lower risk of fatal coronary events.

Soluble and insoluble fibers are both effective in satiating the appetite, which in turn can help prevent overeating and its resultant weight gain. Insoluble fiber plays a major role in absorbing and eliminating toxins from the body, while soluble fiber helps to stabilize blood sugar and reduce serum cholesterol. It's important to drink plenty of water when supplementing with fiber to optimize these health benefits.

Just Once Naturals Smooth & Clear Fiber Solution Powder delivers the highest potency instant fiber available for promoting regularity, healthy cholesterol and blood sugar balance - in step with consumer demands for a convenient, easy to mix and pleasant tasting 100% natural fiber solution.
