How It Works

Pea Protein

Pea protein is a highly digestible source of vegetable protein that provides a good nutritional value. Pea protein is low in both saturated and total fat and is a good source of dietary fiber. In addition to being an excellent source of protein, recent studies show that pea protein supports the urinary system and is effective for maintaining already-normal blood pressure levels.

Soluble Vegetable Fiber

Soluble fiber works mainly by helping to produce a softer stool. Soluble fiber increases intestinal bulk to ease the movement of digested food through the gut, promoting normal bowel movement, toxin elimination, and intestinal health. Soluble fiber also chemically prevents or reduces the absorption of certain substances into the bloodstream. Yet, fiber provides other health benefits as well, such as supporting healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Fiber also supports healthy weight management goals by helping to reduce calorie intake, enabling you to eat less while staying satisfied longer.

Fructooligosaccharides

Fructooligosaccharides (short- and long-chain) are a type of fiber that serves as food for the probiotics in the colon to help them thrive within your intestines. Clinical studies have shown that short- and long-chain fructooligosaccharides may improve growth of friendly microorganisms, enhance mineral absorption, support bowel health and function, and promote digestive function.

Flax Seed

Flax seed supports intestinal health thanks to its high fiber content, which softens the stool and acts as a natural laxative to promote elimination. Flax seeds also support a balanced gut microbiome. Flax seeds naturally contain lignans, which are phytoestrogens that provide powerful health benefits, including boosting the immune system, maintaining hormone balance, and supporting breast and prostate health. Plus, flax seeds provide omega-3 essential fatty acids that support cardiovascular health and promote a healthy inflammatory response.

Guar Gum

Guar gum, made from the seeds of the guar plant, is mainly composed of soluble fiber with a high water-absorbing ability that forms a thick gel when hydrated. Guar gum's gel-forming properties help to increase satiety and slow gastric emptying which may reduce hunger and the desire for eating. Guar gum's gel-forming effect also interferes with the absorption of fat during digestion, binding with emulsified fat from the small intestine. These bound fat molecules are then eliminated. Soluble fibers such as guar gum have also been shown to promote healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels already within the normal range. Unlike some other types of fiber, guar gum does not affect mineral absorption.

Broccoli Flowers

Broccoli is a plentiful source of vitamins, minerals and amino acids that support immune health and hormone regulation. Broccoli also contain lutein, an antioxidant carotenoid that helps protect healthy cells from damage caused by free radicals. Plus, broccoli contains important phytochemicals (plant chemicals) called glucosinolates that provide antioxidant protection, support gut health, and promote a healthy inflammatory response.

Grape Seed Extract

Grape seed extract is high in proanthocyanidins—highly active antioxidant compounds that can readily neutralize brain-damaging free radicals. The powerful antioxidant activity of grape seed proanthocyanidins is approximately 50 times stronger than that of vitamin E. Studies also suggest that grape seed extract may be beneficial for maintaining blood pressure levels, thus contributing to overall cardiovascular health.

Black Beans

Black beans are an excellent source of plant-based protein and contain high amounts of soluble and insoluble fiber. They are also naturally low in fat and calories and have no cholesterol. Black beans provide essential nutrients like calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, zinc, folate, and vitamin A. Plus, black beans are a rich source of anthocyanins and quercetin, which are potent antioxidants associated with improving heart health and promoting a healthy inflammatory response.
