If you are still one of those people who think fiber supplements are strictly for card holding members of the AARP then it is time to deconstruct that image and replace it with that of a healthy, nutrition conscious athlete. Yes, that’s right, fiber is a very important, yet often neglected, factor when it comes to overall health and enhanced nutrient absorption. We have all heard the phrase “You are not what you eat, but what you absorb” and, by adding a quality fiber supplement to your daily diet, you can greatly enhance your ability to absorb the nutrients from your food and supplements. Here at Species Nutrition we are acutely aware of the importance of fiber and, unlike many of our competitors, we don’t just want to offer you a smorgasbord of supplements, we also want to ensure that your body is actually able to utilize them. We created our FIBROLYZE product to fill a void in the market for a quality fiber supplement that would not only be attractive to athletes, but would prompt them to find out more about the healthy benefits associated with fiber supplementation.

FIBER AND CHOLESTEROL

When you take a fiber supplement like FIBROLYZE you are in fact reducing your risk of developing heart disease. Soluble fiber from psyllium has been shown to suppress cholesterol synthesis in the liver and reduce blood levels of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. A lowering of LDL cholesterol results in less plaque forming in the blood vessels and in turn a more efficient circulation of blood throughout the body.

FIBER AND TOXINS

Fiber is nature’s broom when it comes to eliminating toxic wastes from the body and the use of a fiber supplement can significantly reduce the amount of toxic waste in the colon. Toxic build up in the intestines is a definite precursor to colon cancer and therefore anything you can do to maintain a healthy environment in the intestines is a good insurance policy against this condition. Also, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that if you are walking around with a lot of captive toxins in your body you are not going to be feeling or functioning at your best!

FIBER AND MUSCLE GROWTH

When it comes to muscle growth, it is all about nutrient absorption. When you have a healthy colon you are able to process foods and nutrients at an optimum level. Your ability to process and utilize key nutrients is vital when it comes to repair and growth of body tissues. A sluggish colon is not a desirable asset when it comes to building and maintaining a healthy physique. Therefore taking a fiber supplement such as FIBROLYZE is a key component when it comes to making the most of not only your food intake but also your daily supplement regime. After all, why spend money on an arsenal of nutritional supplements without making sure that they are properly absorbed and utilized!

FIBER BURNS FAT

When your colon is functioning at an optimum level the beneficial bacteria it contains begin to ferment soluble fiber and this triggers the liberation of short chain fatty acids. Once they have been set free these fatty acids enter the portal circulation, traveling to the liver and reducing its output of glucose. When glucose levels are lowered insulin levels are also reduced, and a decrease in insulin leads to less fat storage. Fiber supplementation also assists in maintaining steady blood sugar levels and this leads to more stable energy levels and less diet destroying food cravings.
HOW TO TAKE FIBROLYZE

Species Nutrition’s FIBROLYZE is a great tasting calorie free fiber supplement that combines the benefits of both soluble and insoluble fiber and is designed to give the muscles of your intestinal tract a first class workout. This leaves them stronger and able to conduct their job of removing waste and absorbing nutrients with maximum efficiency. One scoop in 8oz of water 2 – 3 times a day is recommended but you may want to build up to this slowly in order to get your intestinal tract used to working out. Delivering a ‘Biggest Loser’ type workout to your colon right away may prove too much for some people, so start with half that amount and then build up until you reach your own individual tolerance level.

So, if you want to make sure that all your food and supplements are being properly absorbed and utilized it is time to replace that old picture of grandpa holding a ‘Benefiber’ slurpy with something a little more inspiring…a super, healthy, muscular you, holding a glass of FIBROLYZE!
