What is dietary fibre?
Dietary fibre is a group of substances that plays an important role in the functioning of the human digestive system, although it is not digested in the digestive tract and is not absorbed into the bloodstream. Two fractions of dietary fibre are distinguished: soluble in water and insoluble in water1. The fibre of the insoluble fraction includes compounds such as cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. On the other hand, the soluble fibre fraction includes pectin, neutral hemicelluloses, gums, mucilages, and algal polysaccharides. Individual fractions have a certain impact on the human body.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the recommended daily intake of dietary fibre for adults should be 20-40 g2. The Food and Nutrition Institute provides standards for Poland at a level of 30-35 g per day for adults. Another indicator of daily intake is the recommendation of 14 g of fibre/1000 kcal in the diet/day3. Meanwhile, the average daily fibre consumption in Poland in 2016 was only 15.4 g per person4.

Discover the ingredients of DUOLIFE Fiber Powder food supplement
NUTRIOSE®* proprietary formula – unlike cereal fibres, NUTRIOSE®* corn fibre is non-allergenic. Due to its microgranulated form, it is very stable and highly soluble and thus can also be added to hot dishes, such as soups. Seventy-five percent of corn fibre undergoes slow fermentation in the large intestine (which is gentle on the intestines). Moreover, it is not digested by the bacteria present in the mouth and does not promote caries. The formula has a low glycaemic index and low calories (2 kcal/g).
SUNFIBER®** proprietary formula - an organic, partially hydrolysed gum from Indian guar beans based on galactomannans. However, it is not identical to the commonly used guar gum. Unlike classic” guar gum, it has a lower molecular weight (20-50 kDa versus 300-8000 kDa for non-hydrolysed gum) and thus a much lower viscosity (2000 times lower) so that it is easy to prepare an easy-to-eat formula which is safe even when consumed in large portions. In addition, unlike guar gum, it is obtained by mild enzymatic hydrolysis at low temperature (37°C) exclusively from seed endosperm. The serving of SUNFIBER ®** contained in 1–2 sachets of DUOLIFE Fiber Powder matches the dosage recommended in order to maintain the valuable effects of the ingredient.
INAVEA™ BAOBAB ACACIA*** proprietary formula – a synergistic, fully organic branded blend of 2 sources of soluble dietary fibre from African plants: Seyal acacia and baobab. INAVEA™with a serving of 5 g/day (contained in 2 sachets of DUOLIFE Fiber Powder) has beneficial documented effects.
IMMUNEL™*** proprietary formula – nucleotides contained in IMMUNEL™*** are a source of important signalling and precursor molecules in the body, and can be reused to build new nucleic acid molecules contained in cell nuclei. They constitute a very important, still underestimated component of a low-processed diet. The recommended daily serving of IMMUNEL™*** (300 mg) is contained in 2 sachets of DuoLife Fiber Powder.
LOW FODMAP approved
The LOW FODMAP diet is low in short-chain, poorly absorbed, and rapidly fermentable carbohydrates with high osmotic pressure (such as lactose, fructose, and polyols). As a result, it helps to maintain optimal condition of the digestive tract and reduces bloating and intestinal discomfort, especially in people with irritable bowel syndrome or lactose intolerance.
The fibre-based formulas contained in the product: SUNFIBER®**, NUTRIOSE®* and INAVEA™ BAOBAB ACACIA* ** are well suited for the LOW FODMAP diet as they are subject to slow fermentation, which is more gentle on the intestines (Figure 1)
