Prebiotic fibers (soluble fibers)

Dietary fiber is a complex carbohydrate of plant origin that is neither digested nor absorbed by the small intestine. They are essential for good digestive health, as they regulate intestinal transit, nourish the good bacteria of the microbiota and contribute to satiety. They fall into two categories: soluble fibers, which dissolve in water and nourish the microbiota, and insoluble fibers, which increase stool volume.
