Fiber is known for keeping your gut moving, but it can also help your entire body stay moving — at least, according to a new study.
The clinical trial led by researchers at the University of Nottingham found that daily fiber supplementation may offer benefits to people with osteoarthritis, helping to reduce pain, improve muscle strength and even decrease the body’s sensitivity to pain.
Beyond these benefits, researchers also found that participants who took fiber had higher levels of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which is the hormone that helps regulate blood sugar and appetite and has also been linked to pain regulation and muscle health.
Fortunately, reliable fiber supplements are readily available on the Internet, and some are quite affordable. A popular option on Amazon is Physician’s CHOICE Fiber Gummies for GLP-1 Support, which offer a convenient, easy-to-chew size that reviewers praise.
Best of all, the Physician’s CHOICE formula is currently on sale for just under $10. More than 50,000 shoppers purchased a bottle in the last month alone.
The raspberry and lemon flavored gummies are made with prebiotic chicory root fiber and designed to support “digestive health, regularity and overall gut health.” Given the new research, users might also notice some benefits for the entire body.
“Let me paint the picture: I’m on GLP-1,” one user shared. “Everything slowed down – and I mean everything. I was constipated once and I swore on all that was holy that it wouldn’t happen again, so I grabbed these fiber gummies.”
The gummies are made with vegan, plant-based ingredients and completely free of sugar, artificial colors and flavors. They are manufactured in a GMP-certified facility and third-party tested for safety, purity, and potency. As with any new supplement, be sure to consult your doctor before using it.
