Helps suppress appetite by promoting satiety. Help maintain a healthy heart. How does NSI® Fiber Slim with Viscofiber® work? Fiber Slim is a unique weight-management formula containing oat beta-glucan, a soluble dietary fiber derived from oats. It increases the viscosity of foods in the stomach, forming a soft gel which helps slow the passage of foods from the stomach to the small intestines. This helps create a longer-lasting feeling of fullness, therefore supporting weight management. Oat beta-glucan is also known to promote cardiovascular health. More than 40 human clinical studies have shown that oat beta-glucan can help lower total and LDL cholesterol levels. It's believed to work by binding to bile acids (produced by the liver) in the gastrointestinal tract, which prevents them from being reabsorbed through the small intestine. Some of the bile acids are flushed from the body through the digestive tract, forcing the liver to then take cholesterol from the bloodstream to reproduce lost bile acids. This, in turn, reduces the amount of cholesterol retained by the body. Viscofiber® is a highly viscous beta-glucan concentrate from oats, containing up to 9 times more fiber than oat bran. It's manufactured using a unique, patented extraction process that does not alter the structure of the natural grain, but keeps the beta-glucan intact, preserving its natural viscosity. Viscofiber® has been shown to be 20 to 30 times more viscous than the next leading beta-glucan concentrates, which use extraction technologies that degrade cell structures. Soluble fiber from foods such as the oat beta glucan in Fiber Slim with Viscofiber® as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol can help maintain heart health. A serving supplies 1,500 mg of Viscofiber® Oat Beta-Glucan Concentrate (providing a minimum of 50% oat beta-glucan, 750 mg) necessary per day to have this effect. NSI® Fiber Slim with Viscofiber® is better because it:. Contains up to 9 times more fiber than oat bran. Can help you maintain heart health and weight management.

"Adding NSI Fiber Slim to my healthy diet has truly helped me control the hunger between meals, and I was able to drop the stubborn 5 lbs I had been trying to lose. Unlike psyllium, it does not give me gas or bloating. I compared many different fiber products (in caps/tablet form only-did not want to drink the stuff) and I chose Fiber Slim because it has a high fiber content in capsule form. For me, drinking 8-10 glasses of liquid is very important while taking this, or else I feel dehydrated."

"The current thinking is that the recommended amount of fiber for adults is between 21 grams and 38 grams a day. That's a lot! In order to supplement my daily diet, and try and meet that requirement, I take these Fiber Slims. There are different fiber supplements available (i.e. psyllium husks, bran, etc.) on the market. But after trying several, I find these to be the most gentle and effective. They do not give me a bloated feeling and I've had no big side-effects. Just to note, though, if you take them on an empty stomach, and eat nothing, they might produce a little burping which creates a funny flavor in the mouth. But this is minimal, and not really an issue for me at all. If taken on a stomach with some food in it, whether before or after, this does not happen at all. You know these fiber pills are working because your "bathroom products" will float! Yes, when your "b.p" float, you know you're getting enough fiber!"
