This study aimed at determining the gastro-intestinal tolerance of NUTRIOSE^® FB, administered to 48 healthy men, at doses of 30 or 45 g/day over 4-5 weeks.

Both doses of NUTRIOSE^® FB were very well tolerated and no diarrhoea was reported due to NUTRIOSE^® FB supplementation.

In the course of the study, some habituation and adaptation of gastro-intestinal symptoms were found.

Long-term supplementation of 30 or 45 g of the dextrin NUTRIOSE^® FB per day was well tolerated, and may act as a pre-biotic supplement.

One of the best tolerated soluble fibers

 

NUTRIOSE^® exhibits a high digestive tolerance, allowing incorporation at much higher levels than other fibers, for real nutritional benefits.

Due to digestion pattern

 

NUTRIOSE®'s outstanding digestive tolerance can be explained by its digestion pattern: its digestion occurs along the whole digestive tract and there is no sudden or excessive fermentation in the large intestine that would cause flatulence, abdominal pain and/or diarrhoea.

 

About 15% are absorbed in the small intestine, about 75% fermented in the large intestine, while the remainder (about 10%) is excreted in the faeces.
 

Clinically proven

The high digestive tolerance of NUTRIOSE^® has been clinically proven, both in the short and the long term. (VAN DEN HEUVEL et al., 2004), (PASMAN et al., 2006)

 

In Roquette studies, no diarrhoea was observed at as much as 100g/day/person. (VERMOREL et al., 2004)
