Goody, Goody Gumdrops

Santa Cruz Nutritionals’ FiberAdvance Gummies, an all-natural fiber supplement for adults, comes in an easy-to-ingest gumdrop form rather than a chalky tablet. Two all-natural, fruit-flavored gummies provide four grams of soluble fiber, according to the Santa Cruz, Calif.-based manufacturer, which created the supplement to help consumers get their recommended daily dose of 20 to 35 grams of the nutrient. Fiber helps promote regularity and digestive health, as well as playing a part in lowering cholesterol, reducing the risk of heart disease, and controlling appetite. The gummies are made with inulin, a natural source of fiber extracted from the root of the chicory plant. Available in lemon, orange, cherry, green apple, grape and strawberry flavors, the product retails for $9.95 per bottle a bottle of 90 gummies. To find out more, visit www.santacruznutritionals.com.
