Dr. Karan: The Red Flags in Fibre Supplements…
Peer-Reviewed Research
Key Takeaways
- Avoid monofiber supplements – Single-source fibers have limited microbiome impact.
- Choose ≥10g fiber/serving – Effective doses matter for gut barrier support.
- Skip bulking agents – Avoid maltodextrin or additives; opt for pure plant fibers.
- Beware fast-fermenting fibers – Ingredients like inulin/FOS cause gas/bloating.
- Prioritize solubility & taste – Non-gritty, easy-to-mix formulas improve compliance.
Notable Quotes
“There is no such thing as a bad fiber, but… you can have bad fibers.”
Bottom Line
Select a multi-source, high-soluble-fiber supplement (10g+/serving) without irritants like inulin or additives. Prioritize palatability for daily use.
