Abstract in brief

  • Only 5% of adults meet the recommended dietary fiber intake, and while fiber supplements offer a convenient source, most do not provide the same health benefits as natural dietary fiber.
  • The health benefits of fiber depend on its physical effects in the small and large intestines, especially its viscosity and ability to form gels, which help lower cholesterol and improve blood sugar control, as well as soften stool in the large intestine.
  • Nurse practitioners should understand these mechanisms and rely on clinical data when recommending fiber supplements, emphasizing that effective fiber must gel to effectively promote health benefits.]
