What is apple fiber?
Apple fiber is made from the pulp, skin, and core material left over after apples are pressed for juice, which is then dried and milled into a fine powder. Rather than being wasted, this fiber-rich byproduct is repurposed as a whole-food fiber ingredient for food and supplement products.
What are the benefits of apple fiber?
Apple fiber contains a mix of soluble fiber, including pectin, and insoluble fiber, giving it a dual role in supporting both stool bulk and regularity as well as feeding beneficial gut bacteria to some degree. Pectin specifically is a well-studied soluble fiber associated with digestive comfort.
As part of a fiber and enzyme blend, apple fiber complements the more purely prebiotic inulin and acacia gum, adding textural bulk and a slightly different fermentation profile in the gut.
How much apple fiber is in Daily Greens?
Apple fiber is included in the 406 mg prebiotic fiber and enzyme blend, and its individual gram weight is not itemized separately from the rest of that blend on the supplement facts panel.
Who should be careful with apple fiber?
As with any concentrated fiber source, introducing apple fiber too quickly, or without enough water, can lead to bloating, gas, or constipation in some people; increasing fiber intake gradually and staying well hydrated helps the digestive system adjust.
People with a known apple allergy, though uncommon and usually related to fresh fruit proteins rather than processed fiber, should check the full ingredient list of any product containing apple fiber.
