Abstract
A dietary composition comprising (i) from about 40% to about 80% (w/w) of a fiber composition comprising glucomannan, xanthan gum, and alginate; and (ii) from about 10% to about 60% (w/w) psyllium is provided, along with a method and a food product for promoting satiety, promoting weight loss, lowering blood cholesterol levels or lowering blood glucose levels in a mammal.
Claims12
A polysaccharide dietary fiber composition comprising (i) from about 40% to about 80% (w/w) of a granulated fiber composition comprising glucomannan, xanthan gum, and alginate;
- and (ii) from about 10% to about 60% (w/w) psyllium;
- wherein the initial viscosity in water is 200 to 1000 centipoise (cps) and the viscosity after 30 minutes is 3,000 to 5,000 or more cps.
A medical food product for promoting satiety, promoting weight loss, lowering blood cholesterol levels or lowering blood glucose levels in a mammal comprising a polysaccharide dietary granulated fiber composition comprising a highly viscous fiber complex comprising (i) from about 40% to about 80% (w/w) of a granulated fiber composition comprising glucomannan, xanthan gum, and alginate;
- and (ii) from about 10% to about 60% (w/w) psyllium;
- wherein the initial viscosity is 200 to 1,000 cps and the viscosity after 30 min is 3,000 to 5,000 or more cps.
