About Kirkland Signature Optifiber™

Optifiber™ quickly dissolves in hot or cold beverages and is flavor-free, sugar free and non-thickening so you can easily add it to your favorite foods without even noticing! Our fiber is even grit-free so you can easily stir it into foods like yogurt and oatmeal to boost the fiber content without changing the taste. Each serving provides a good source of fiber to support a healthy digestive system.†

Fact:
National survey data indicates adult males are getting an average of 19-20 g fiber per day with females only getting 16-18 g per day.¹Fiber can be found in a wide variety of minimally-processed plant foods such as whole grains, legumes, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds.²

Understanding Fiber

Generally, fiber is a type of complex carbohydrate or long chain of sugar molecules arranged in a special way to make them inaccessible to human enzymes. Enzymes are substances which facilitate chemical reactions in the body.

Fibers can be intrinsic and intact in plants, or in some cases, isolated, extracted or manufactured.³ There are several different types of fiber characterized by differences in solubility, viscosity and fermentability. Differences in these characteristics impact the effects fiber has in the body.⁴

Insoluble fibers tend to add roughage to the diet to help speed up the removal of waste from the digestive system. Very viscous soluble fibers thicken when mixed with fluids and tend to slow digestion for more balanced nutrient absorption. Only fermentable fibers can serve as food for the friendly bacteria residing in the GI tract, also referred to as the gut microbiome.

In order to get all of the various benefits of fiber, it is important to eat a wide variety of fiber-rich foods.
Fact:
Fiber is widely recognized as an important part of a healthy diet. However, many adults are not getting the recommened amounts of fiber on a daily basis.¹The Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommends adult males and females consume 14 g dietary fiber per 1,000 kcal. This equates to 28 g of fiber for the typical 2,000 k cal diet.⁵

Fiber Tips

- Incorporating good sources of insoluble fibers such as whole grains into your diet helps move food through the digestive tract which is very important for colon health.† But be sure to drink plenty of water when increasing fiber consumption!⁶
- Soluble and viscous fibers such as those found in oats, beans, and fruits can be beneficial for heart health.† These types of fibers also help to lower the glycemic index of meals to help maintain blood sugar levels already within a normal range.
- People are becoming increasingly familiar with probiotics but the term prebiotics is less readily understood. Prebiotics can be thought of as food for probiotics. By nourishing the friendly microbes in the GI tract, prebiotics have the potential to provide many health benefits.†
- Kirkland Signature Optifiber™ provides wheat dextrin, a type of soluble fiber with recognized prebiotic effects to support a healthy digestive system.†
