Kirkman’s Pre-Bio™ Fiber Powder is a prebiotic that is a unique blend of two excellent sources of soluble prebiotic fiber plusmodified citrus pectin.The fiber sources include Sunfiber®, which is derived from the seeds of the guar plant, and larch arabinogalactan extracted from harvested larch trees.Both are effective soluble prebiotic fibers that stimulate the growth of beneficial probiotic bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract.Modified citrus pectin is added to stimulate the removal of unwanted by-products of non-beneficial bacteria that also reside in the gastrointestinal tract.Prebiotic fiber is not digested by the body, but rather forms a nutrient substrate for beneficial bacteria in the gut and probiotic strains of bacteria that are supplemented.

The stimulation of the growth of beneficial strains of bacteria can greatly improve gastrointestinal health, help relieve constipation or diarrhea, and contribute to regularity.When first starting Kirkman’s Pre-Bio™ Fiber powder, there may be a die-off of pathogenic microorganisms, which can result in the release of toxic byproducts of the microorganisms being killed.This is called the Herxheimer Reaction, which may have symptoms of bloating, gas, nausea or loose stools.This is actually a positive sign that your body is eliminating unwanted bacteria or yeast.If this occurs, drink large amounts of water until the symptoms subside, which usually is in a few days.

Kirkman’s Pre-Bio™ Fiber Powder can be dispersed in hot or cold liquids or soft foods.Mix one heaping teaspoon of the powder in the food or beverage.The colder the food or beverage, the more vigorously you must mix to gain dispersion.

Kirkman’s Pre-Bio™ Fiber Powder is more than just a fiber.The larch arabinogalactan component of the product, which is in the amount of about 50%, has been shown to enhance immunity.It stimulates natural killer cell activity so as to ward off unwanted invaders of body cells, and thus it can be called a biological response modifier.Literature is available as to this immunity enhancing characteristic of larch arabinogalactan.
