10g of Fibersol® with a meal may delay hunger and stimulate appetite-regulating hormones.
- Product Highlight
Fibersol®, a digestion-resistant soluble dietary fiber backed by over 30 years of extensive clinical research, offers a way to potentially boost GLP-1 and satiety through diet via normal food and beverage consumption. Fibersol® may increase the appetite-regulating hormone GLP-1 when consumed at 10g with a meal in healthy individuals. Research has shown that Fibersol® may delay hunger and may increase satiety perception and stimulate appetite-regulating hormones in humans when ingested with a meal.3 A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study of two doses of Fibersol® (5, 10g) with healthy subjects (9 men and 10 women) demonstrated that taking 10g of Fibersol® with a meal stimulated production of satiety hormones GLP-1 and peptide YY (PYY) and affected perceptions of hunger and appetite.
Of the six satiety hormones measured, GLP-1 and PYY significantly responded to the 10g Fibersol® treatment. There were significant increases in area under the curves (AUCs) for PYY (P = .001) and GLP-1 (P = .038) caused by 10g of Fibersol® compared with 0g Fibersol® treatment. In addition, GLP-1 and PYY were significantly increased over time by ingestion of 10g Fibersol® compared with 0g Fibersol®.
- Product Benefits
Its prebiotic and physiological benefits, including:
- Prebiotic Benefits - May help nourish the intestinal flora and maintain a healthy intestinal tract environment (at 3.75g per serving, for a total of 15g per day over 3 weeks)
- Satiety - Clinically documented to increase appetite regulating hormones, including GLP-1
- Post-meal Benefits - Reduced blood glucose, insulin, and triglyceride levels
- Gut Health
At 4-8g of Fibersol® daily, clinical studies have shown that Fibersol®:
- Helps support or maintain intestinal regularity
- Helps relieve occasional constipation
- May support gut health
- Improves stool consistency
- Product Specifications
In addition to the significant increase in the two appetite-regulating hormones (GLP-1 and PYY), this study also showed that ingestion of 10g of Fibersol® resulted in greater satisfaction and lower prospective consumption after a meal, suggesting decreased hunger and prolonged satiety. Perceptions of hunger and satiety were assessed by visual analog scale (VAS). Prolonged satiety was experienced by the subjects consuming 10g of Fibersol® compared with participants ingesting 0 and 5g of Fibersol®. Subjects who consumed 10g of Fibersol® felt fuller for 1.5 hours after the meal, compared with the other groups.
- Post-meal Blood Glucose And Insulin
At 4-6g of Fibersol® with each meal, clinical studies have shown that Fibersol®:
- Helps reduce blood sugar levels after a meal
- Helps minimize blood sugar spikes after a meal
- Post-meal Triglycerides
At 5-6g of Fibersol® with each meal, clinical studies have shown that Fibersol®:
- Helps attenuate the rise in blood triglycerides following the meal
- Helps retain healthy triglyceride levels
- Prebiotics
At 6g of Fibersol® per serving, clinical studies have shown that Fibersol® may help nourish the intestinal flora and maintain a healthy intestinal tract environment.

Note: n=73, **p<0.01 significant difference to placebo
- Bifidobacteria Count vs Fibersol® Consumption Graph
Clinical studies show that 6g of Fibersol® per serving may help nourish the intestinal flora and maintain a healthy intestinal tract environment.
- Glucose Response Graph
Fibersol® is low in simple sugars, making it a great ingredient for products formulated for reduced sugar and lower calories. 10g of Fibersol® adds just a skinny 0.02g of sugar (less than 0.1 calories from sugar!).
- SCFA Production Graph
Fermentation of Fibersol® in the gut enhances mineral absorption and yields SCFAs, which have many roles in supporting optimal health, including supporting beneficial gut microbes.

- Fecal Weight Comparison Graph
In a range of studies, Fibersol® was shown to increase wet and dry fecal weight. Increases in stool frequency were also reported.

- Post-Meal Serum Triglyceride Comparison Graph
Clinical studies show that 5-6g of Fibersol® per serving helps attenuate the rise in blood triglycerides following the meal and helps retain health blood triglyceride levels.
- Satiety Comparison Graph
Fibersol® provides products with satiety benefits that help consumers feel fuller, longer. Prompted by everything from weight management efforts to holistic health concerns, consumers are looking for positive nutrition and satisfying eating experiences.
4 Hours After a Meal Comparison:
In both qualitative (reported satiety perception) studies and quantitative studies (measurement of satiety hormones peptide yy and GLP-1), results showed statistically significant improvement of satiety at up to 4 hrs.
Satiety Perception:
Clinical studies show that 10g of Fibersol® with a meal may delay hunger and stimulate appetite-regulating hormones.
Study participants consumed a beverage in the morning and reported on satiety throughout their day. Participants whose beverages included Fibersol® reported higher levels of satiety.
