Dietary fibres are the indigestible or digestion-resistant portion of plant foods that move food through the digestive system, absorbing water, making defecation easier. Soluble fibre undergoes metabolic processing via fermentation, yielding end-products with broad, significant health effects. Read more on the benefits of increasing your fibre intake.

Soluble tapioca fibre is naturally produced via highly controlled enzyme-catalyzed process transforming starch molecules into functional health molecules. The manufacturing process is based upon the enzymatic conversion of starch molecules to ensure consistent high-quality isomalto-oligosaccharide from tapioca starch.

First patented in Japan, the enzymatic conversion of starch molecules is now recognised for prebiotic benefits in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the United States. Japan’s Ministry of Health has designated isomalto-oligosaccharide with the distinguished approval of FOSHU by proving over 20 years of research the effectiveness on human body, positive physiological effects on gastrointestinal conditions, regulating blood sugar levels and cholesterol.
