Polydextrose Powder (Conventional Type)
Polydextrose powder is a water-soluble dietary fiber that has been approved as a health food ingredient in more than 50 countries. It is widely used in the manufacture of fiber-fortified foods and has the function of keeping the intestines and stomach smooth after consumption. In addition to the unique functions of insoluble dietary fiber, polydextrose powder also has functions that insoluble dietary fiber does not have or is not obvious. For example, it can combine to remove bile acid from the body, significantly reduce serum cholesterol, and more easily induce satiety, which can significantly reduce blood sugar levels after meals.
Features of Polydextrose Powder (Conventional Type)
Polydextrose powder can improve the sensitivity of peripheral tissues to insulin, reduce the requirement for insulin, inhibit the secretion of insulin, and hinder the absorption of sugar. Polydextrose itself is not absorbed, thereby achieving the purpose of lowering blood sugar levels and is very suitable for diabetes.
Since polydextrose has good water-holding properties, undigested polydextrose increases intestinal peristalsis and fecal excretion. At the same time, partial polydextrose in the large intestine can be fermented and utilized by beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacteria to produce a large amount of short-chain fatty acids to lower the pH value of the intestine, stimulate intestinal peristalsis, increase the moisture of feces and maintain a certain osmotic pressure. Thereby regulating the intestinal environment in both directions and preventing the occurrence of constipation.
Polydextrose powder can be used as a wetting agent to prevent or slow down the adverse changes of moist food, making the food neither dehydrated nor absorb water.
Reduce the risk of intestinal cancer and improve the body's immunity. Polydextrose powder can promote the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria, adjust the balance of intestinal flora, and inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.
