Dietary fibre can be divided into two broad categories: insoluble and soluble (in water). Most plant foods contain both types in varying amounts. Soluble fibre works like a sponge, absorbing toxins and carrying them away while producing beneficial chemical changes within the bloodstream. Insoluble fibre works like a scrub brush to cleanse the wall of the colon, breaking up the accumulation for easier elimination.

The average daily fibre consumption in Canada is 13 grams. Health Canada recommends that adults consume 25-30 grams of fibre per day. Low fibre intake can cause bowel transit time to double, leading to a variety of health concerns. For instance, slow transit time can result in autotoxemia, or the absorption of toxins from putrefied fecal material.

Featuring 27 high-quality herbs, LiFiber powder drink mix provides both soluble and insoluble fibre to help sweep your colon clean of toxins and accumulated debris. It cleanses your digestive tract and promotes regularity. In addition, when consumed before a meal, fibre can assist you in achieving a healthy weight by helping you feel fuller, so you will eat less. Formerly called roughage or bulk, fibre was once thought of as filler -- in other words, if you consume a high-fibre diet, you'll have less room for high-fat, high-calorie items.

LiFiber contains a psyllium base, which provides eight times more soluble fibre than oat bran. This balanced, psyllium-based formula supplies 5.6 grams of soluble and insoluble fibre per 10-gram serving.

LiFiber is enhanced by the inclusion of a special dietary fibre called fructooligo saccharide (FOS). FOS, which is derived from chicory root, is a naturally sweet substance, and is used mainly as a source of food for the "beneficial" bacteria, bifidobacteria and acidophilus.
