Fermentabites

Our secret weapon to Fiber First is the Fermentabite™.

What is a Fermentabite™?

We created fermentabites to provide your body a healthy dose of fermentable fiber/resistant starch. The ingredients will escape digestion in the small intestine and ferment in the large intestine offering healthy gut microbiome a feast, as well as a boost of short chain fatty acids to nourish your colon cells and heal the intestinal lining. They will help to suppress the appetite and keep you full longer. The ingredients are viscous which will prolong the blood sugar curve and help with weight control. Fermentabites also help to improve insulin sensitivity.
