VPX's Fiber Teq is a powerful weapon in the Zero Impact Diet and a convenient way to benefit from the most complete and excellent source of fiber.

High fiber diets are now recommended by National Academy of Sciences, the National Cancer Institute and the Food and Nutrition Board. Fiber relieves constipation by making the stool bulkier and softer. Fiber stops diarrhea by absorbing excess water in stool and, therefore, helps minimize colitis. Fiber helps relieve hemorrhoids, diverticulosis discomfort and IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). Fiber provides protection against gallstones. Fiber helps heal and prevent ulcers. A high fiber diet helps control weight, reduce cholesterol and control blood sugar. High fiber causes stool to pass through the bowel quickly and also absorbs toxins and prevents pollutants from being absorbed into the body. Soluble and Insoluble Fiber - Soluble: Soluble fiber absorbs water and slows down food transit from the stomach. The greatest benefit is that it helps decrease cholesterol by washing bile acids from the intestinal tract. It also provides a sense of fullness for a longer period of time, controls appetite and enhances the amount of weight lost on a diet, even in obese people. Soluble fiber also helps protect against hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia because it maintains blood sugar levels. Insoluble: Primarily increases stool bulk and water content, speeding transit of stool through the bowel. It has a natural laxative effect and is effective in preventing diverticulitis, irritable bowel syndrome and hemorrhoids, including colon cancer, possibly by reducing the amount of time carcinogens remain in the GI system. Some insoluble fibers decrease the amount of bile acids in the stomach, preventing ulcers. All whole grains and many fruits and vegetables contain large quantities of insoluble fiber. Fiber Teq contains copious amounts of both soluble and insoluble fiber. Friendly bacteria are a natural inhabitant of human intestines that are also added to Fiber Teq to maintain a healthy intestinal environment and help control the growth of undesirable micro-organisms in the digestive system
