Soluble Dietary Fibre

The major ingredient in JOLS and LICORETTE is Acacia Gum, a soluble fibre with unique nutritional properties.

Since Acacia Gum is not broken down by human digestive enzymes, it is considered as a soluble dietary fibre showing very interesting nutritional properties. In the large intestine, the presence of Acacia Gum stimulates the development of bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria, leading to the production of large amounts of short chain fatty acids which play numerous beneficial roles in the physiology of the human body.

Beneficial effects of Acacia Gum on the human health:

• regulation of transit through the digestive tract
• increase the stool weight
• lowering of the postprandial glycaemia and of the blood cholesterol content
• acidification of the large gut content
• stimulation of the beneficial colic flora (bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria)
• non laxative
