Dietary Fibre
Our oligo- and polysaccharides are unique in that, although indigestible for humans, they can be fermented by numerous strains of bacteria in the microbiome. Depending on their structure, they are metabolised at different speeds and by specific types of bacteria such as bacteroidetes, firmicutes, lactobacilli and bifidobacteria. It is therefore advantageous to have a wide variety of different fibres in one's diet.
All of our plant-based fibres are purely vegan. Our new human milk oligosaccharides (HMO) are vegetarian.
Prebioma Blends
Premium dietary fibre complexes: Prebioma Complete and Prebioma Sensitive. With its 14 carefully selected sources of fibre, our Prebioma Complete provides the advantages of a wide spectrum of dietary fibres. Includes konjac, inulin, oat beta-glucans, XOS, GOS, FOS, RS4, gum arabic, apple pectin, Livaux® and green olives. Prebioma Sensitive contains a reduced selection of 5 particularly gentle dietary fibres for individuals sensitive to the intake of fibre.
Actbiome® Turmeric
The innovative Polar Non-Polar Sandwich Technology (PNS Technology) in Actbiome® encloses curcuminoids from turmeric with turmeric fibre and asafoetida from the Ferula assa-foetida plant, a combination which enables optimal bioavailability while offering the advantages of both precious spices.
Gum Arabic
Sustainably sourced organic gum arabic powder from the dried sap of acacia trees. Highly soluble fibre powder sourced from the world market leader for acacia products from France.
Chitosan
The patented active ingredient KiOnutrime-CsG® (chitosan) as a complex with plant-based beta-glucans. A daily intake of 3g chitosan contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels.
Organic Tiger Nuts
Psyllium Husks
Green & Golden Kiwis
Freeze-dried and ground raw, organic kiwi fruit powder from New Zealand. Actazin® from green kiwi with 14% natural fibre and the enzyme actinidin (more than 25,000 AU/g). Livaux® from golden kiwi with natural fibre and the enzyme actinidin (more than 5000 AU/g).
Green Olive Pomace
Organic green olives from Italy. Our 100% natural powder made from fresh, raw olives offers a unique spectrum of valuable bitter compounds, antioxidants and prebiotic dietary fibres, the latter of which are partially lost in the normal pickling process of ordinary table olives. Freshly harvested and de-oiled, then gently dried at low temperatures.
Oat Beta-Glucans
Our natural oat extract (Avena sativa L.) is obtained via pure water-ethanol extraction and is standardised to 70% beta-glucans. A daily intake of 3g oat beta-glucans supports the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels, while 4g of oat beta-glucans per day supports the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels. In powder or capsule form.
Konjac Glucomannan
Finely ground konjac root (devil's tongue) with 95% glucomannan. Certified organic. An intake of 3g glucomannan per day contributes to weight loss as part of a low-calorie diet.
Larch Bark Arabinogalactan
Arabinogalactan is a highly branched polysaccharide consisting of a galactan backbone and the sugars galactose and arabinose. It is found in particularly high amounts within larch trees. Arabinogalactan has a valuable natural spectrum of polyphenols and is rich in water-soluble, prebiotic fibre.
Pectin
Pectin is a complex polysaccharide that naturally occurs in plant cell walls, known in particular for its high water retention ability (also known as swelling capacity). Like other fibres, pectin is an important source of nourishment for microorganisms such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus. This pure apple pectin comes from the leading manufacturer of pectin in Germany. Extracted from pomace of European apples in a complex process. Pressed into tablets without additives.
XOS + GOS
The complex polysaccharides (dietary fibres) xylo- and glucooligosaccharides (XOS + GOS) in a 1:1 ratio from innovative non-GMO production with maize and sugar beet. While XOS and GOS cannot be broken down by human digestive enzymes, some microorganisms, such as bifido- and lactobacteria, use these dietary fibres as a food source.
