FiberWater is the first
true
HYDRACEUTICAL

Which means hydration is
combined with additional health benefits.
Hydration
with a Healthy Twist!
Hydraceuticals are functional waters.
"Food/beverage
may be described as 'functional' when it can be clearly
proven that it does not just have purely nourishment and
satiety results, but also influences at least one or more
bodily functions either by improving the state of health
and/or reducing the risk of illness."

FiberWater is a Functional
Water
that goes "Beyond Water"
and is "More than Water"
Both
the categories of hydration and dietary fiber have been
extremely well researched and subsequently much has been
published.
While
research goes back many decades it is also on-going, and
becoming far more sophisticated.
Until
recently, fiber has been presented mainly to the consumer
for laxation. Currently we are learning more about the many
additional physiological benefits.
For
example: Fiber may delay the gastric emptying of ingested
food into the small intestine, resulting in a sensation
of fullness, which may contribute to weight control. Delayed
gastric emptying may also reduce postprandial blood glucose
concentrations, and have a beneficial effect on insulin
sensitivity. Some fibers can also interfere with the absorption
of dietary fat and cholesterol as well as the enterohepatic
recirculation of cholesterol and bile acids, which may result
in lowering blood cholesterol concentrations.
While
not diminishing the importance of hydration my primary focus
is to provide additional scientific documentation as related
to fiber. I have posted journal articles as well as a link
to a bibliography. Finally a link to relevant patents (with
kudos to those patent holders because I know, first hand,
what it takes to become one).
