Favorite Fiber!
Over and over customers tell us that Super Seed is
their favorite fiber supplement. It’s hard to argue with them.
Super Seed is more than just an excellent source of fiber. Super
Seed has a delicious cinnamon flavor, and provides 7 grams of
protein and 1,100 mg of Omega-3 fatty acids per serving.
Super Seed contains 17 whole food ingredients, including
fiber powerhouses like chia seed and flaxseed meal. For a fast start
to
your day, mix Super Seed into your yogurt, sprinkle it on oatmeal,
blend it into your favorite smoothie or mix it with a glass of
water. |
Super Seed is a powerful whole food formula
that is an excellent source of dietary fiber. The ingredients in Super Seed
were specifically chosen for their exceptional ability to support and
maintain optimal bowel health and function.*
What is dietary fiber?
Fiber is a complex carbohydrate which is found in plants. The body does not
digest fiber; instead the fiber component of food passes through the
digestive system. There are two types of fiber - soluble and insoluble
fiber. Much like it sounds, soluble fiber is fiber that dissolves in water
and insoluble fiber is fiber that does not. The best way to get fiber is
through a whole food diet of fruits, vegetables, grains, seeds and legumes.
The role fiber plays in a healthy diet became apparent at the turn of the
century. Diets previously high in dietary fiber were altered to include the
new “wonder foods,” refined sugar and milled flour. The increased use of
these foods, which were devoid of dietary fiber, led to a theory that
connected a lack of fiber and the overall state of health. Several
generations later, up to 100 million Americans experience some form of
occasional digestive discomfort.
Super Seed® was formulated to include naturally occurring soluble and
insoluble fiber from carefully selected grains, seeds and legumes that are
easy on the gastrointestinal system. Super Seed does NOT include psyllium
husk, which provides no nutritional value.

What are homeostatic™ soil organisms?
Probiotics are beneficial living microflora
that play a critical role in maintaining good health.* Healthy human
intestines contain billions of both good and potentially harmful
microorganisms. The good bacteria in the intestines are considered an
integral part of normal immune system support. Homeostatic™ Soil Organisms (HSOs)
are a unique, highly stable species of probiotics that are impervious to
stomach and bile acids. Healthy people usually have a ratio of approximately
85% good to 15% potentially harmful organisms in the intestinal tract. In
some cases, however, even those who appear to be well might have an
unfavorable ratio as a result of daily exposure to environmental toxins and
a modern lifestyle. For example, taking antibiotics and drinking chlorinated
water may change the optimal microbial balance essential for good health.
The HSO Probiotic Blend in Fungal Defense helps support normal
gastrointestinal balance of good and potentially harmful bacteria to help
maintain a balanced, healthy internal environment.*
How does Super Seed® support normal gut
flora balance?
Super Seed contains fiber components that act
as prebiotics to support normal gut flora balance.*
Why is dietary fiber important?
Vibrant health begins in the colon, and
supplying your body with adequate dietary fiber every day is essential to
colon function and overall health.*
How do I take Super Seed®?
Super Seed is a powder blend that can be
mixed in smoothies, vegetable or fruit juices, cereal, yogurt or soup. In
fact, Super Seed can add nutritional value and fiber to nearly any food or
beverage.
What makes Super Seed® better than other
fiber supplements?
Many other fiber supplements rely on
insoluble fiber alone and provide very little in the way of nutrition. Super
Seed contains both naturally occurring soluble and insoluble fiber from
carefully selected grains, seeds and legumes that are easy on the
gastrointestinal system. Additionally, Super Seed contains no psyllium.
