Product Information

Fiber and selected micronutrients for the gut and immune system

OMNi-BiOTiC® FiBRE Immun is a dietary supplement with acacia fiber, resistant starch, as well as selected vitamins, minerals, and trace elements.

The fiber it contains serves as a nutritional basis for specific gut bacteria. Additionally, the product contains, among other things, vitamin D and zinc, which contribute to the normal function of the immune system, as well as riboflavin (vitamin B2) and niacin (vitamin B3), which contribute to the maintenance of normal mucous membranes.

OMNi-BiOTiC® FiBRE Immun is also Low-FODMAP certified°.

What is OMNi-BiOTiC® FiBRE Immun intended for?

OMNi-BiOTiC® FiBRE Immun was developed for people who want to supplement their daily diet with fiber in a targeted manner while simultaneously supplying selected micronutrients for the immune system and mucous membranes.

The product is particularly suitable:

• for the targeted supplementation of daily fiber intake

• for supplying certain gut bacteria with fermentable fiber

• as part of a gut-conscious diet

• to support the normal function of the immune system through vitamin D and zinc

• to maintain normal mucous membranes through riboflavin and niacin

• to support the normal function of digestive enzymes through calcium

• for people who prefer a Low-FODMAP certified° fiber product

Gut and immune system – closely linked

The gut performs far more tasks than the absorption of nutrients and the excretion of indigestible food components.

The intestinal mucosa represents a large contact surface between the body and the outside world and contains numerous cells of the immune system. The gut microbiome, intestinal mucosa, and immune system are in a complex and continuous exchange with one another.

The composition of the gut microbiome can be influenced by numerous factors. These include, among others:

• Diet

• Fiber intake

• Medication

• Stress

• Sleep

• Age

• Lifestyle

• Various environmental factors

A balanced and fiber-rich diet can help create suitable conditions for different gut bacteria.

Gut barrier and intestinal mucosa

The intestinal mucosa forms an important interface between the gut contents and the organism.

Among other things, it is involved in the targeted absorption of nutrients and, together with other structures of the gut barrier, contributes to regulating the passage of undesirable substances.

Normal mucosal function is therefore of fundamental importance.

OMNi-BiOTiC® FiBRE Immun contains riboflavin (vitamin B2) and niacin (vitamin B3). Both vitamins contribute to the maintenance of normal mucous membranes.

Fiber as food for gut bacteria

OMNi-BiOTiC® FiBRE Immun contains different fiber sources with resistant starch and acacia fiber.

Certain types of fiber reach the large intestine largely undigested and can be fermented there by gut bacteria.

This fermentation produces, among other things, short-chain fatty acids such as acetate, propionate, and butyrate.

Butyrate is an important energy source for the cells of the large intestine epithelium and is being intensively scientifically studied in connection with the function of the intestinal mucosa.

Resistant starch

Resistant starch is a form of starch that is not completely digested in the small intestine and can therefore reach the large intestine.

There, it can be fermented by specific gut bacteria.

The fermentation of resistant starch can:

• influence the growth of certain gut bacteria

• contribute to the formation of short-chain fatty acids

• increase bacterial biomass

• influence stool volume

Thus, resistant starch provides a nutritional basis for specific microorganisms of the gut microbiome.

Acacia fiber

The acacia fiber extract contained in OMNi-BiOTiC® FiBRE Immun is a soluble fiber obtained from the dried plant sap of acacias.

Acacia fiber can be fermented by certain gut bacteria and used as a nutritional basis.

Due to its properties, it is frequently used to supplement daily fiber intake in a targeted manner.

Bifidobacteria and lactobacilli

Bifidobacteria and lactobacilli belong to the well-known bacterial groups of the human gut microbiome.

Certain representatives of these groups can utilize various carbohydrates and fiber, thereby forming metabolic products.

OMNi-BiOTiC® FiBRE Immun itself does not contain any added bacterial cultures, but instead provides fiber as a nutritional basis for certain already existing gut bacteria with acacia fiber and resistant starch.

Vitamin D and zinc for the immune system

OMNi-BiOTiC® FiBRE Immun combines the fiber it contains with selected micronutrients.

Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system.

Furthermore, vitamin D has a function in cell division and contributes, among other things, to the maintenance of normal bones and normal muscle function.

Zinc also contributes to the normal function of the immune system.

Additionally, zinc contributes, among other things, to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and has a function in cell division.

Vitamin B2 and B3 for the mucous membranes

Riboflavin (vitamin B2) and niacin (vitamin B3) contribute to the maintenance of normal mucous membranes.

Vitamin B2 also contributes to normal energy metabolism, normal function of the nervous system, and the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

Niacin also contributes to normal energy metabolism and normal function of the nervous system.

Calcium and digestive enzymes

Calcium fulfills numerous functions in the human body.

Among other things, calcium contributes to the normal function of digestive enzymes.

Furthermore, calcium is needed for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth and contributes to normal muscle function as well as normal energy metabolism.

Low-FODMAP certified°

OMNi-BiOTiC® FiBRE Immun is Low-FODMAP certified°.

FODMAP stands for "fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols." These are specific short-chain carbohydrates and sugar alcohols.

A low-FODMAP diet is used particularly in connection with certain functional gastrointestinal complaints. A long-term FODMAP-reduced diet should be professionally supervised if symptoms persist.

Recommended intake

Take 5 g of OMNi-BiOTiC® FiBRE Immun 3 times daily.

5 g corresponds to 1 level measuring spoon.

Stir 1 level measuring spoon into 0.2 liters of water, juice, or another suitable liquid and then drink immediately.

An activation period is not necessary.

Slow start for sensitive digestion

To gradually accustom the digestive tract to the additional amount of fiber, the manufacturer recommends a slow start.

Begin with ½ measuring spoon daily.

Then, increase the daily amount by another ½ measuring spoon every 3 days until the recommended daily dose of:

1 level measuring spoon 3 times daily (= a total of 15 g daily)

is reached.

The gradual increase can be particularly useful for people who have previously consumed only small amounts of fiber.

Important notes

When increasing fiber intake, one should generally ensure sufficient fluid intake.

OMNi-BiOTiC® FiBRE Immun is a dietary supplement and not a medicinal product for the prevention or treatment of infectious diseases.

Vitamin D and zinc contribute to the normal function of the immune system. No protection against a specific infection can be derived from this.

Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle.

The recommended daily intake must not be exceeded.

If taking other dietary supplements containing vitamin D, zinc, or calcium simultaneously, the total daily intake should be taken into account.

Keep out of the reach of small children.
