FIBERLYZE is a unique combination fiber supplement that contains both soluble and insoluble fiber. It’s been shown that the inclusion of soluble fiber from psyllium can dramatically reduce the risk of heart disease by suppressing cholesterol synthesis in the liver and reducing blood levels of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. And less LDL cholesterol means less atherogenic plaques in the blood vessels. What most people don’t know is that soluble fiber is also instrumental in any successful weightloss program. What? Fiber burns fat? Well, the beneficial bacteria of the colon have the ability to ferment soluble fiber. When this occurs, short chain fatty acids are liberated. These short chain fats can then enter the portal blood circulation and travel to the liver where they decrease the liver’s output of glucose. Less circulating glucose means that less insulin is released and lower insulin levels in the blood mean that less fat is stored. Not to be forgotten, diets that include sources of insoluble fiber also have tremendous health and performance benefits. Insoluble fiber promotes regular bowel movements, removes toxic wastes from the colon, and prevents colon cancer by maintaining optimal pH’s in the intestines. And when the colon is healthy and toxins are being efficiently removed from the body, muscle can be synthesized and repaired at maximal rates.
