Dietary fiber, often referred to simply as fiber, is a type of carbohydrate found in plant-based foods that the body cannot digest or absorb. Instead of being broken down and absorbed like other nutrients, fiber passes relatively intact through the digestive tract and provides various health benefits.

Soluble fiber dissolves in water to form a gel-like substance in the digestive tract. It is fermented by beneficial bacteria in the colon but is not digested or absorbed by the body. Insoluble fiber does not dissolve in water and remains intact as it moves through the digestive system. It adds bulk to stools and helps move waste through the digestive system more efficiently.

Soluble fiber can help lower cholesterol levels, regulate blood sugar levels, support heart health, aid in weight management, and nourish beneficial gut bacteria. It may also provide relief from indigestion issues like constipation, bloating, diarrhoea, gas formation, etc.

Maize dextrin is a type of soluble fiber derived from corn starch. It is considered excellent for our digestive health, helps regulate bowel movements, supports weight loss and promotes healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
