What is Apple Fibre?

Apple Fibre by FoodSeries is a product powder that has been exclusively made from the dietary fibre that is naturally present in apples.

Apple Fibre is one of the best ways to benefit from the positive effects on fiber on our organism. It provides both soluble and insoluble fibres with different degrees of polymerization, taking advantage of all its mechanisms.

Our Apple Fibre has been obtained through an extraction process that is environmentally-friendly, without genetically modified organisms that may negatively affect the environment. Moreover, it does not contain food additives, ingredients from animals or other compounds.

Why take it?

Composition of apple fibre

Even though dietary fibre is and standard concept with a series of properties, they will actually depend on the particular features of each saccharide that makes up a specific type of fibre.

Therefore, apple fibre is not going to be the same as wheat or oat fibre.

Apple fibre is a great way of providing different types of dietary fibre so that we will benefit of the positive effects of each one. Its composition is approximately made up of:

Soluble fibres

•  1% galacturonic acid.
•  19% Hemicellulose. 

Insoluble fibres

•  4% Hemicellulose.
•  9% Pectin.
•  40% Cellulose.
•  15% Lignin.

Positive effects of apple fibre

Effects of insoluble fibre

Insoluble fibre has unique physical properties that increase the stool and improve the intestinal transit in order to have regular and healthy bowel movements.

Effects of soluble fibre

Soluble fibre has extraordinarily complex chemical properties and they cannot be broken down by the enzymes from the small bowel.

These fibres continue to travel to the colon, where the bacteria from that area produce short chain fatty acids (SCFA's) which has potential prebiotics that preserve the bacterial diversity in the small intestine. Moreover, they support the gastrointestinal health, reducing the malabsorption levels, gases, swelling, etc (Koutsos et al., 2015).

Mixed effects

Both types of fibre have been associated with a slower gastric emptying, which:

Why purchase Apple Fibre in HSN?

High natural purity

Are you looking for a natural product? Of course you are!

Native dietary fibre, just like the one you find in apples. That is what this product is basically.

Vegan, non-GMO

The apple fibre that we have used in HSN has been obtained from GMO-free raw ingredients.

Our product is vegan and it has been exclusively made from natural apple fibre. It has been obtained from GMO-free apples.

How to take it?

You can take as much as you need to meet your nutrient requirements.

We suggest taking one scoop a day, although you can always adjust that amount.

Mix a scoop (5 grams) in 250ml of water, milk or juice approximately and drink it with the meals. It has a neutral flavour, perhaps slightly sweet but it does not alter the taste of food.

How can we combine Apple Fibre?

It goes well with other products that have positive effects on the intestinal microbiota, such as:

•  Colostrum powder (>30% Active IgG).
•  Inulin powder.
•  Digezyme 200mg.

As well as minerals and vitamins like:

•  Chromium picolinate 200mcg.
•  Evovits.
