Oat Fiber & Konjac Root Fiber

Oat Fiber
Our Oat Fiber is 100% Gluten Free. Each batch is tested and found to be without harmful Glyphosate residue.
Oat fiber is NOT the same as oat FLOUR. It is not ground oats. It is made from the fibrous husks of the oat; not the grain. Put another way, oat fiber comes from oats which are generally classified as a grain, yes, but oat fiber is made from the outside husk or hull of the oat which is pure insoluble fiber.
- Insoluble fibers like oat fiber do not dissolve in water in the body and therefore are not broken down in the digestive tract. This is why oat fiber does not contribute any nutritive benefits when eaten. This is why oat fiber has zero calories! What this means is that although oat fiber technically has 3 grams of carbohydrate in the form of fiber per teaspoon, those fibrous carbohydrates pass undigested through your body and are passed as waste; just like all other insoluble fiber in lots of other foods. Because of this many people subtract the fiber grams out from the carb count to show NET carbs in the Macro count.
- Oat fiber’s macros per teaspoon are 0 calories, 0 g fat, 3 g carbs, 3 g fiber, 0 g protein
- Because oat fiber is pure insoluble fiber, it adds bulk to waste in the digestive system, which helps prevent constipation and keeps things moving. Be sure to drink extra water when consuming.

Konjac Root Fiber (Glucomannan)
Healthy, gut friendly thickening agent derived from Konjac Root. It is known in Asia as Natures Broom for the intestines. It is a soluble fiber and is known for its ability to absorb water and form a gel-like substance in the digestive tract. This property can help promote feelings of fullness, support weight management, and aid in digestive health.
We prefer to use this natural, zero carb, gut friendly thickener instead of its starchy counterparts in the commercial food space, such as cornstarch, potato starch, wheat flour, rice, tapioca etc.
The potential benefits of Konjac soluble fiber are:
Regulation of lipid metabolism, reduce blood lipid and cholesterol.
Reduction of blood glucose
Reducing risk of constipation and cancer of lower digestive tract
Improvement of diet for diabetics
Konjac glucomannan fiber slows the absorption of sugar and cholesterol from the digestive tract, helping to control sugar levels in diabetics and reducing cholesterol levels.
Soluble fibers such as Glucomannan have many health-promoting benefits due to their ability to form a soft gel with water. Research indicates that soluble fibers help lower blood cholesterol, slow glucose absorption, lower the Glycemic index and promote regular bowel movements. Derived from Konjac root, glucomannan has an extraordinary water-holding capacity and is the most viscous of all known dietary fibers.
Glucomannan offers benefits for those seeking to lose weight. Studies show that supplementing with glucomannan enhances the weight-loss effects of a calorie-restricted diet. Glucomannan may promote weight loss in obese adults, even in the absence of a calorie-restricted diet.
Glucomannan creates a feeling of satiety or fullness through its water-binding effects. By creating a thick gel, glucomannan delays gastric emptying and slows the release of sugar into the bloodstream, which helps to lower levels of insulin and blood glucose. Additionally, glucomannan improves blood-lipid profiles and can lower systolic blood pressure. Because of these effects, glucomannan can greatly benefit individuals with metabolic syndrome or diabetes.
Glucomannan is a dietary fiber that dissolves in water and comes from the root of the Konjac plant, As with most dietary fiber, glucomannan is an effective bulk-forming laxative, meaning that it stimulates the passing of larger stools which can move through the colon smoothly and is easier to eject.
Like many soluble fibers, glucomannan can bind with a variety of substances in the digestive tract to slow digestion, relieve constipation and reduce the absorption of fat and carbohydrates. As such, glucomannan is often used in products intended to reduce blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels as well as blood sugar. Because it can absorb a great deal of water and promote a feeling of fullness, glucomannan is frequently used in supplements intended to promote weight loss.
Glucomannan works in a similar way to other water-soluble fibers. It is able to attach itself to bile acids in the gastrointestinal system and move them out of the body in the form of excrement. This makes the body convert other cholesterol into bile acids, which can lower cholesterol and reduce the amount of other fats in the blood.
Glucomannan could be effective as a weight loss aid because it takes up space in the stomach, which then simulates the sensation of being full.
Konjac can delay the absorption of glucose, effectively reducing postprandial blood sugar.
