Description

 

PGX® is a completely unique blend of highly purified soluble fibers processed using advanced proprietary technology. Compared to other soluble fibers, significantly less PGX is required to obtain the same important health benefits including glucose balance, appetite control and reduced food cravings.

PGX® Proprietary Blend contains glucomannan, a soluble and fermentable fiber derived from the root of the konjac plant (Amorphophallus konjac), that is differentiated from other soluble fibers by its extraordinarily high viscosity. As this water-soluble fiber travels through the digestive tract, it forms a highly viscous, gel-like mass that can promote feelings of fullness, support colon ecology,81,82 promote normal bowel function,81,82 help maintain healthy body weight83-86 and beneficially affect blood lipid86-89 and glucose levels in those already within normal range.90-92

A meta-analysis of 14 studies discovered the ingredients in Natural Factors WellBetX PGX Soluble Fiber Blend significantly lowered total and LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, body weight, and fasting blood glucose.1-4 Studies additionally revealed an increased satiety and fecal energy loss3 with no adverse reactions reported.2
