Santa Cruz Nutritionals launches fiber gumdrops

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. Santa Cruz Nutritionals introduces FiberAdvance Gummies, an all-natural fiber supplement for adults.

For every serving (two gumdrops), these fruit flavored gummies that provide 4g of soluble fiber. FiberAdvance Gummies are made with inulin, a natural source of fiber that is extracted from the roots of the chicory plant. Inulin is a prebiotic, which means that it stimulates the growth and activity of the “good” bacteria that is essential to digestive and overall health, Santa Cruz Nutritionals said.

“The American Dietetic Association recommends 20 to 35 g of fiber per day, yet the average American consumes only 14 to 15,” said Emily Vinik, retail sales and marketing manager. “With no messy powders or chalky tablets to deal with, FiberAdvance Gummies are the most delicious way for active and health-conscious consumers to supplement their daily fiber intake.”

FiberAdvance Gummies come in six all-natural flavors: lemon, orange, cherry, green apple, grape and strawberry. Each bottle contains 90 drops or a 45-day supply. The product is available in Walmart stores across the nation for a suggested retail price of $9.95.
