Adding Fiber to Your Routine? Prime Your Gut for Success

You’re doing right by your body and trying to intake more fiber. Unfortunately too much fiber too soon—or in a microbiome that isn’t ready for it—can lead to digestive discomfort. We want to set you up for success, so here are some tips for adding fiber and sticking with it.

Add fermented foods (think yogurt, sauerkraut or kimchi) to the menu for a couple of weeks. This essentially primes your gut with more abundance and variety of good bacteria species that can then help you break down additional fiber.¹

Start with a smaller dose and work your way up. For example, if a serving is two gummies, start with just one; if it’s one capsule three times a day, start with one capsule once a day. Gradually increase until you’re at the full recommended serving.

As always, drink plenty of water throughout the day to support hydration and gut motility.

FAQ

What's the difference between citrus pectin and modified citrus pectin?
Citrus pectin is a natural fiber found in the peels of citrus fruits and is commonly used as a gelling agent in foods. Modified citrus pectin is processed into smaller, more soluble molecules that are more easily absorbed than regular citrus pectin, making it the preferred form for dietary supplements.
What does modified citrus pectin do?
Modified citrus pectin is a soluble dietary fiber that supports overall wellness. Research suggests it may interact with galectin-3, a naturally occurring protein involved in normal cellular processes, and it is commonly used as part of a healthy lifestyle to support normal cell function and overall health.
Why take a citrus pectin supplement?
Because modified citrus pectin is not commonly found in the diet, some people choose to supplement their intake. It offers a convenient way to add this specialized form of soluble fiber to a daily wellness routine and complement a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
What is galacturonic acid?
In modified citrus pectin, galacturonic acid-rich molecules are more readily available and have been studied for their ability to interact with galectin-3, a naturally occurring protein involved in cellular health and signaling, as well as immune and tissue health. Research in this area is ongoing, and modified citrus pectin is commonly used as part of a daily wellness routine.
What makes Swanson Modified Citrus Pectin unique?
Swanson Modified Citrus Pectin features a low molecular weight form of citrus pectin that is processed into smaller, more soluble molecules than regular citrus pectin. Each serving provides a minimum of 82% galacturonic acid, the primary structural component of modified citrus pectin, in an easy-to-mix powder that delivers a higher serving than many capsule formulations.
Is Swanson Modified Citrus Pectin suitable for special diets?
Yes. Swanson Modified Citrus Pectin is suitable for vegan and vegetarian lifestyles, is made with non-GMO ingredients, and is formulated without dairy. This product is not formulated or certified to be gluten-free, so individuals with gluten sensitivities should review the ingredient list before use.
