The unique fenugreek fiber manufactured by Emerald Seed Products is now available on the internet as a convenient consumer product from Plain Grain Supplements. To order Fenfiber online go to www.PlainGrains.com.

The new Fenfiber® capsules offer the benefits of fenugreek fiber in a convenient, easy to use form. Fenfiber® capsules are an approved fiber source for active people and provide an easy way to increase your daily fiber intake. The recommended daily dosage of Fenfiber capsules provides 5.3 grams of soluble fiber.

It is now recommended that the average adult should have a daily fiber intake of 20 to 35 grams per day.

According to the American Association of Cereal Chemists, "Dietary fibers promote beneficial physiological effects including laxation (improved digestion), and/or blood cholesterol attenuation, and/or blood glucose attenuation."

The actual average North American adult daily fiber intake is estimated at 10 to 20 grams per day.

Fenfiber® is a purified white fiber extracted from fenugreek seeds. Fenugreek is a drought tolerant annual legume with the ability to grow without the use of synthetic fertilizers, so it is often grown in rotation to benefit soil health. Fenugreek seeds have traditionally been used to benefit digestive ailments and manage blood sugar levels.

The protective effect of Fenfiber® in human health comes from the properties of fibers in the digestive tract:

• Fenfiber® delays gastric emptying time and slows transit through the small intestine. Gels formed in the intestine reduce the rate of nutrient absorption. [Fenfiber forms a gel in the stomach, not the intestine.]
• The water holding capacity of Fenfiber® increases the bulk of intestinal contents and dilutes the absorption of nutrients.
• Binding of bile acids and potential carcinogens by Fenfiber® is a factor in the reduction of cholesterol.
• The health benefits of Fenfiber® come from its unique fiber structure. About 80% of the total fiber in Fenfiber® is soluble. The fiber structure makes it difficult for digestive enzymes to break down Fenfiber® and increases the time the fiber works in the digestive tract.

Fenfiber® is manufactured in a Health Canada licensed production facility under approved Good Manufacturing Practices with Kosher and Organic certification.

Directions for Use

Adults 12 years and older: 2 to 3 capsules per serving. Take 2-3 capsules prior to meals with 8 ounces of liquid (swallow one capsule at a time) up to three times daily. Laxatives, including bulk fibers, may affect how well other medicines work. If you are taking a prescription medicine by mouth, take this product at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after the prescribed medicine. As your body adjusts to increased fiber intake, you may experience changes in bowel habits or minor bloating.

Consult a doctor if you are considering using Fenfiber® Capsules as part of a blood sugar or cholesterol management program.
