According to the research, clinical trial results showed that the FiberCreme™ cookies could significantly help reduce cholesterol, triglyceride and cardio risk ratio scores. Dietary fiber from FiberCreme™ can interfere with the emulsification, digestion and absorption of lipids. It also increases bile acid deconjugation leading to increased excretion of fecal bile acids and lowers cholesterol levels by stimulating the liver to synthesize bile from circulating cholesterol.
Designed to “recognize the brightest and best ingredients, finished products, and initiatives across APAC’s thriving nutrition and functional food sectors,” NutraIngredients-Asia Awards have all the entries assessed by a round of independent industry experts from across the APAC region based on a number of criteria such as innovation, diversity, growth, customer service, investment in people or strategic thinking.
The winners will be announced at a ceremony scheduled to take place in Singapore this coming September. Share this news on to support FiberCreme™.
