Soluble fiber is fiber that dissolves in water. Insoluble fiber does not dissolve in water. Both types of fiber feed the growth of beneficial bacteria. Certain fibers feed specific probiotics. Acacia fiber feeds the growth of the category of probitoics called Bacteroides as opposed to the category of probiotics called firmicuties. 

Bacteriodes are found in higher concentrations in the digestive tract of folks who are lean. Firmicuties are found in higher concentrations in the digestive tract of folks who are overweight. 

Acacia Fiber uniquely feeds the growth of the Bacteriodes organisms. Which in turn supports having a healthy body weight.

Additionally, Acacia Fiber feeds the growth of probiotics that increase the production of the short chain fatty acids, butyrate, propionate, and acetic acids. This has been proven in a study to lower the bowel pH to the healthy slightly acid pH of 5.5. This acid pH environment causes the ionization of calcium in the GI tract. Whether that calcium is from food or supplements, it is protein bound. Before the body can use calcium is must remove the protein making it individual atoms or clusters of calcium, missing two elections. 

Therefore, to enhance your bodies ability to maintain bone density throughout your life, you need to keep your colon pH around 5.5. This will enable your bowel to ionize calcium, causing it to then be adsorbed through the intestinal wall and into the blood stream. It is the ionized form of calcium that creates new dense bones. 

In a study it has been proven the supplementing lab mice with acacia fiber increased their bone density.

The two wonderful benefits from consuming Acacia Fiber are support for an ideal body weight and optimal bone density.

Acacia Fiber mixes easily and has a pleasant taste.
