Benefiber On the Go Prebiotic Fiber Powder, Unflavored | 28 Sticks

Benefiber On the Go Prebiotic Fiber Powder

Benefiber On the Go is an unflavored soluble-fiber supplement supplied in 28 portable, premeasured sticks. Each full stick provides 3 g of dietary fiber from wheat dextrin, including 3 g of soluble fiber.

The clear, taste-free powder can be stirred into water, coffee, juice and other non-carbonated drinks, or mixed into soft foods. It is designed to help increase daily fiber intake without substantially changing the flavor or texture of the chosen food or drink.

What Is Wheat Dextrin?

Wheat dextrin is a processed, water-soluble fiber derived from wheat starch. Benefiber describes it as a plant-based prebiotic fiber that helps nourish beneficial bacteria already present in the digestive tract.

Prebiotic fiber is not the same as a probiotic. This product supplies fermentable fiber for resident gut bacteria; it does not contain live probiotic organisms.

Daily Digestive and Fiber Support

Adding soluble fiber may help close a dietary fiber gap and support normal digestive function and bowel regularity. Individual responses vary according to diet, hydration, existing fiber intake and digestive health.

The U.S. FDA uses 28 g of dietary fiber as the Daily Value for a 2,000-calorie diet. One Benefiber stick supplies 3 g, or approximately 11% of that Daily Value. A supplement should complement—not replace—fiber-rich foods such as vegetables, fruit, legumes and whole grains.

According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, fiber should generally be introduced gradually, and adequate liquids help fiber work effectively.

Gluten-Free but Wheat-Derived

The only listed ingredient is wheat dextrin. Benefiber states that the wheat is processed so the finished product meets U.S. FDA requirements for foods labeled gluten-free. Under the FDA rule, gluten-free foods must contain less than 20 parts per million of gluten.

However, gluten-free does not mean wheat-free. Anyone with a diagnosed wheat allergy should consult an allergist or healthcare professional before use and verify the current package label. People with celiac disease who have questions about a specific batch should also consult their clinician or the manufacturer. Read more about the standard in the FDA gluten-free labeling guidance.
