Details and patient eligibility

About

Research shows that many people do not get enough dietary fiber through their normal diet. As a result, some nutrients are not properly absorbed into the bloodstream. The immune system however does need these nutrients. Dietary fibers are therefore important for health. Nutricia has developed a new blend of natural fibers that can help people get enough fiber.
