Why We Created SupraFiber®
We at SUNSWEET NATURALS have two passionate beliefs when it comes to fiber.
- 1 The best source of fiber comes from nutritional, whole food fruits (rather than from grain husks).
- 2 Fiber supplements should have a balance of both soluble and insoluble fiber for optimal benefit – not just one or the other.
SupraFiber® features:
- Legendary whole food fiber and super fruit benefits of our D’Noir™ Prunes as well as acai berries, pomegranate, and blueberry.
- A 5 gram balance of combined soluble and insoluble fiber in each serving.
True to our SUNSWEET NATURALS philosophy, SupraFiber is 100% natural, contains no preservatives, no added sugars or sweeteners, is Gluten Free, Vegan, non GMO, and preservative and psyllium free.
How Fiber Works
There are two basic types of fiber, each of which provides distinctive, key benefits:
- SOLUBLE FIBER dissolves in water and cannot be digested. While passing through the digestive tract, it transforms into a gelatinous substance, trapping carbohydrates and slowing the absorption of glucose. Helps create a feeling of satiety or fullness and a desire to not overeat.
- INSOLUBLE FIBER does not dissolve in water and increases the speed by which food passes through the digestive system. It acts like a scrub brush gently cleaning out the sludge and plaque from the walls of your intestines. This also improves your body’s ability to absorb nutrients from the food it digests.
Why Fiber is Important*
- Fiber slows the rate that sugar is absorbed into the bloodstream. When you eat foods high in soluble fiber -- the sugar in those foods is absorbed slower, which keeps your blood glucose levels from rising too fast. This is good for you because spikes in glucose fall rapidly, which can cause you to be hungry soon after eating and lead to overeating.

carb absorption and balance blood sugar.” -First for Women Magazine, (September 2009 Issue)
- Fiber accelerates gastro-intestinal transit time. When you eat foods rich in insoluble fiber, it moves faster through your intestines, which can help signal more quickly that you are full.
- Fiber cleans your colon. Acting like a scrub brush, insoluble fiber helps clean out bacteria and other buildup in your intestines, and reduces your risk for colon cancer.
- Fiber helps keep you regular.
The inherent superiority of whole food, super fruit nutrition is a key belief for us at SUNSWEET NATURALS. In looking at existing fiber supplements, we were surprised to find no one else really offering this approach to delivering fiber.
By creating SupraFiber, we are delighted to bring you a different choice—no other fiber supplement utilizes high performance of whole food, super fruit like SupraFiber. And what a blend it is! We began with our D’Noir prunes, a nutritional powerhouse with legendary fiber qualities, making it a logical starting point and one that we at SUNSWEET NATURALS are uniquely qualified to provide. While we believe our D’Noir prunes to be The Most Super Fruit™, we didn’t stop there and added other top super fruits —pomegranate, blueberries and acai berries to further our potent blend.
We honestly believe our blend of these luscious fruits has a basic goodness that offers both a unique and better way to deliver fiber to your body than what other products can afford.
Our Approach to Fiber
We made SupraFiber rich in fiber, with each serving providing 5 grams of fiber, 20% of an average adult’s minimum daily requirement (based on a standard 2,000 calorie daily diet). This level is one of the highest among supplements found in the natural channel.
Perhaps even more important than the quantity of fiber is the quality of the fiber we deliver, and here SupraFiber really excels. SupraFiber is one of a few brands that provide a balance of both soluble and insoluble fiber.
PERILS OF PSYLLIUM
This grain husk is the most common source of fiber
in supplements. But it can be tough to take:
- Some people experience discomfort from stomach cramps or bloating or gasiness.
- For most people, the gelatinous form that psyllium takes when mixed with liquid results in a decidedly unpleasant taste.
- There’s growing awareness that psyllium is not compatible with some prescription medications.
Last But Not Least
Also true to being part of SUNSWEET NATURALS, SupraFiber is preservative-free, gluten-free, vegan, kosher and non-GMO. Its dark color clearly reflects its primary whole food fruit composition, but don’t let it fool you about its taste. SupraFiber has a neutral taste that easily blends into your favorite beverage or yogurt.
