High digestive tolerance
A high digestive tolerance factor for efficient dosage and the consumer's comfort
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)
