Properties
- Physiological Activity
Antioxidative Perspectives; Antioxidants play an essential role in protecting the human body against oxidative processes. Most insoluble dietary fibers show little antioxidative activity – or none at all. Initial in vitro studies have demonstrated that caromax fiber works as an efficient scavenger against free radicals and other reactive substances.; Digestive Perspectives; caromax possesses a high content of insoluble dietary fiber and is especially rich in lignin. Its physiological properties (water-holding capacity and resistance to human digestive enzymes) contribute to an improved intestinal motility and bowel function.; Lowering cholesterol; caromax fiber has a high content of insoluble fiber, tannins and polyphenols help the absorption of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. It is a recommended product when we require a low sugar diet. caromax fiber may be effective in the prevention and treatment of hypercholesterolemia
