Answers To Questions

1. What is Fiber, and why is it important?

Basically, the term fiber refers to carbohydrates that can’t be digested. Fiber is present in all plants that are eaten for food, including fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes. Fiber assists in digestion, helps you feel full, and can reduce your risk of heart disease, high cholesterol, diabetes, diverticular disease, obesity, and constipation.

2. I’ve heard there is both soluble and insoluble fiber, which one do I need?

Both. The FDA recommends a balanced blend of both soluble and insoluble for a healthy diet. FiberStir® provides both; insoluble for intestinal health, and soluble for reducing your risk of chronic diseases.

3. How much Fiber do I need daily?

The U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance is 25 grams for a 2,000 calorie diet and 30 grams for a 2,500 calorie diet. The National Academy of Sciences has set Adequate Intake (AI) levels for total fiber at 38 and 25 grams/day, respectively, for men and women 50 years and younger.

4. How is FiberStir® better?

FiberStir® delivers a balanced blend of insoluble and soluble fiber, giving your body what it needs without the side effects of a “soluble-only” fiber supplement.

6. How can I be sure my fiber supplement has insoluble fiber?

There are many “soluble-only” fiber supplements that deliver no insoluble fiber. Insoluble fiber will turn a glass of water cloudy…you can actually see it! If a fiber supplement advertises that it’s “clear-mixing” or “dissolves completely in beverages” it doesn’t have the all important insoluble fiber!

7. How should I use FiberStir®?

FiberStir® has been specially formulated to dissolve instantly as it’s stirred into any of the foods you prepare. Stir in FiberStir® with your breakfast cereal and yogurt, add it to pancake or muffin batter, scrambled eggs, even peanut butter for your morning toast…and that’s just breakfast! All day long FiberStir® can enhance the foods you love. Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, meatloaf, soups and pasta sauces…the possibilities are limitless!

8. What is a recommended serving of FiberStir®?

One tablespoon of FiberStir® provides 6 grams of fiber! Simply add a tablespoon of FiberStir® for each “serving” that you’re preparing. For example, a prepared boxed dinner might make 4 servings. 4 tablespoons of FiberStir® added to that prepared meal makes each serving an “excellent source” of fiber!

9. Can I get too much Fiber?

We recommend starting slow with FiberStir® to let your body adjust. Typically, a couple of days of gradual increases should easily get you to the Recommended Daily Allowance.

10. I’m on a diet, can I still use FiberStir®?

Absolutely! Because FiberStir® is virtually all fiber; it has very low net carbs, and low calories. More importantly, FiberStir® helps you feel full faster so you eat less and feel full longer. FiberStir® is an excellent part of any diet plan.

11. Is it possible to get all the fiber I need from the foods I eat?

Yes. The problem is that foods high in fiber may or may not be your or your family’s favorites. It’s difficult to guess fiber contents of the foods you regularly eat, and they may be void of fiber all together. FiberStir® lets you eat the foods you love but still get the fiber you need!

12. If I add FiberStir® to the foods I’m preparing, can I tell that it’s in there?

No. FiberStir® is designed to dissolve quickly and completely. It won’t change the color, flavor, or texture of the foods you add it to. FiberStir® added to a lightly colored beverage will make it appear cloudy due to the insoluble fiber.

13. Does FiberStir® have side effects?

We recommend that you slowly build your consumption of FiberStir® over a short period of time so that your body can adjust to getting the right level of fiber. FiberStir® promotes regularity, and will give you a sense of “fullness”.

14. Do my kids need fiber?

Yes! Everyone needs fiber as part of a healthy diet. Being somewhat picky eaters, kids often don't get the right amount of fiber. FiberStir®, added to their favorite foods like macaroni and cheese, pudding, applesauce, or virtually anything else they love, can guarantee they meet their daily requirements.

15. I’ve heard that some fiber supplements create discomfort and gas. How about FiberStir®?

FiberStir® was specifically designed to avoid the negative side effects of a “soluble-only” fiber supplement. Not only do you need both soluble and insoluble fiber as part of a healthy diet, but the combination also reduces uncomfortable side effects.
