This study aimed at determining the gastro-intestinal tolerance of NUTRIOSE® FB, administered to 20 healthy men, at daily levels of 10 and 15 g up to 60 and 80 g, respectively, each dose consumed for 7 days.
The most serious flatulence only occured with the highest dosages of 60 and 80 g/day, and increased bloating on the last day with 80 g/day. None of the doses resulted in diarrhoea, consequently no laxative threshold could be determined.
The digestive tolerance threshold (no symptom of digestive discomfort) was determined as being 45 g/day.
