Prebiotic Colon Care Formula
Yerba Prima
Overview
This product delivers a notable amount of dietary fiber (5g per serving), primarily from well-researched sources like psyllium, which is effective for promoting regularity and colon health. The inclusion of multiple fiber types (soluble and insoluble) is beneficial. However, the exact quantities of individual fibers within the 'Concentrated Fiber Blend' are not fully disclosed beyond the total fiber content, making it difficult to assess optimal dosing for each. The added minerals (Calcium, Magnesium, Selenium) are present in forms that have lower bioavailability and at doses that are quite modest, especially FOS for its prebiotic effects and Selenium which is a very low dose.
The Good
Provides a substantial amount of dietary fiber per serving (5g), including both soluble and insoluble types.
Contains psyllium, a well-researched fiber known for promoting regularity and colon health.
Diverse fiber blend (psyllium, oat bran, soy fiber, acacia gum, apple fiber) offers a broader range of benefits for gut health.
The Bad
Proprietary blend of fibers means specific ingredient doses are unclear, impacting efficacy assessment for individual fibers.
Calcium Carbonate and Magnesium Oxide forms may have lower bioavailability and higher GI side effects compared to other forms.
The California Prop 65 warning for a chemical known to cause birth defects or reproductive harm is a significant and concerning disclosure.
