Pro-Stat Renal Care Ingredients

In addition to the standard quality ingredients found in of Pro-Stat Sugar Free, Pro-Stat® Renal Careincludes two fiber sources,polydextrose and fructooligosaccharides(FOS) to provide 3 grams of soluble fiber.

Polydextrose is a common [soluble] functional fiber. Soluble fibers:

• Play a role in absorbing water to increase stool bulk and moisture that promotes regularity and ease of defecation
• Slow gastric emptying and transit time that helps manage post meal blood glucose spikes
• Bind with fatty acids to promote good blood lipid levels

FOS is a [soluble] prebiotic functional fiber. In addition to the above benefits noted for soluble fibers, prebiotic fibers are associated with a number of health benefits including:

• Producing short chain fatty acids that promote the growth of the beneficial bacteria found in the GI tract
• Increasing mineral absorption to help balance fluid and sodium absorption that in turn discourages diarrhea
• Modulating the immune system
