How Does Profibe Help in the Treatment of Arteriosclerosis?

While water-insoluble fibers such as those from wheat bran, whole grain breads, and brown rice promote more regular movement and alleviate intestinal ailments such as irritable bowel syndrome, water-soluble fibers are known to have a cholesterol-lowering effect.

They contribute to the reduction in the intestinal absorption of cholesterol and fatty acids, in the removal of bile acids, and in the reduction in cholesterol synthesis. Soluble fibers, such as those present in ProFibe, also bind cholesterol and aid in its elimination from the body.

The actual functionality or benefit of water soluble fiber (WSF) was enhanced in the ProFibe formula because of its complexing with soy protein. As the pancreatic enzymes digest the protein in the small intestines, the WSF is released, and when the WSF passes through the large intestines, 100% of the fiber is put to use. Here, it undergoes fermentation and short-chain fatty acids are produced – which, when absorbed, further aid in cholesterol and glucose control.

ProFibe’s extra benefit

It is also common knowledge that obese individuals are more prone to arteriosclerosis and other heart diseases than people within normal weight levels. ProFibe’s other benefit, on top of the abovementioned, has something to do with weight control.

When WSFs come into contact with water as they move along the digestive tract, they form a thick gel which produces a swelling effect. When this combines with the slowdown of digestion, a feeling of satiety or fullness is achieved, and you won’t feel hungry as often as before.
