• Treatment: 21 grams of PROMITOR® Soluble Corn Fiber 70 was fed to 21 men for 3 weeks and compared to a no-fiber control treatment.
• Measurements:  Gas, intestinal comfort and multiple stool measurements, including gut bacteria amount were observed.
• Results:
  • PROMITOR® Soluble Corn Fiber produced some mild intestinal symptoms compared to a no-fiber control, but all tolerance scores were low. Stool weight increased over control treatment.
  • Good bacteria (bifidobacterium) increased in the stool, demonstrating a positive prebiotic effect. 
  • Improvements were found in several fecal chemistry markers of gut health compared to no-fiber control.
• The impact for consumers: PROMITOR® Soluble Corn Fiber 70 may improve gut health and is well tolerated.
