^AIMFibreBalance™ was formulated to provide a supplemental source of fibre with various herbs added to further protect the gastro-intestinal (digestive) tract. Slippery elm bark, flax seed, dandelion root, beet root, marshmallow root, pumpkin seed and ginger root serve an additional purpose of protecting the intestinal walls and reducing irritation and inflammation. This is particularly desirable in the population suffering from inflammatory bowel conditions (ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease). Additional benefits are provided with ginger (relieving mild gastric complaints, yet contributing to effective bowel movements and elimination). A number of the herbs in this formula provide laxative support.

^AIMFibreBalance™ uses three different sources of fibre — oat, inulin, and flax seeds. Each source has its own unique properties that help to form an exceptionally balanced fibre product. Oat is an excellent source of fibre and new research supports the non-allergenic properties of oat components. It may offer an alternative to those suffering from Celiac disease and in need of a gluten free diet. Inulin is a preferred food for the lactobacilli in the intestine and can improve the balance of friendly bacteria in the bowel. Flax seed is the richest known source of lignans, naturally occurring plant compounds that can modulate the metabolism and the use of estrogen. Lignans have numerous biological effects including protection against heart disease, osteoporosis, as well as cancer. The scientific community acknowledges the potent anti-cancer effects of lignans against hormone sensitive cancers like breast and prostate cancer.

^AIMFibreBalance™ in a two scoop serving, provides nearly 12 grams of fibre with 70% insoluble fibre and 30% soluble fibre — an excellent, health-promoting ratio. Scientifically, ^AIMFibreBalance™ has been formulated so that the ingredients work together to deliver health benefits. Collectively, the ingredients are well-balanced and each individual ingredient is within its recommended dose range according to the research and available literature.
