DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
There are three recommended dosage programs for TruFiber™. For Improved Regularity take two (2) servings daily in 4-8 ounces of water, fruit juice or milk: One in the morning and one in the evening. Stir well to dissolve (one level scoop = one 3.6 gram serving). For Probiotic Stimulation take one (1) serving daily along with a high potency probiotic that supplies at least 10 billion CFU per dose (see www.theralac.com for information on Theralac® medical strength probiotic). For enhanced Nutrient Absorption and Gastrointestinal Health take a minimum of 3-4 servings per week with the largest meal of the day.
Note: The high dose Improved Regularity program offers all the benefits of the other programs; the Probiotic Stimulation program also provides improvement in regularity due to enhanced probiotic activity. The number of TruFiber™ servings per day can be varied to accommodate an individual’s specific requirements.
FOR YOUNG CHILDREN
TruFiber™ is safe for young children. A dosage of ½ to 1 serving daily is usually adequate depending on the child’s diet. Check with your doctor before giving any dietary supplement to a child.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
HERXHEIMER REACTION
TruFiber™ can dramatically stimulate probiotic bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, ether those naturally present or those obtained from a supplement. All of the ingredients in TruFiber™ are food grade and generally recognized as safe (G.R.A.S.) by the United States FDA. However, when probiotic bacteria are stimulated they may cause rapid die off of pathogenic microorganisms such as Candida yeast. This can result in moderate discomfort (bloating. gas, headache, diarrhea or loose stools) for several days to a week as the harmful microorganisms die and release their toxic byproducts faster than the body can eliminate them – this is called the Herxheimer Reaction. Drink lots of water and eat light if you experience this reaction, it is a positive sign that your body is detoxifying. If symptoms persist discontinue use and see your physician.
ALLERGIC AND OTHER REACTIONS
TruFiber™ does not contain: wheat, gluten, soy, corn, rye, milk, casein, peanuts, yeast or animal products. It contains no added carriers, only the two natural fiber sources and the four, vegetable source, digestive enzymes. The enzymes (40 mg per serving contain about 20 mg of protein) are protein based and may cause an allergic response in sensitive individuals. Check with your physician if you are sensitive to proteins before taking TruFiber™. Drug interactions: Some prescription medications may have their absorption compromised by fiber supplements, check with your physician before taking TruFiber™ if you are on prescription medications.
