Fiber is a big part of human nutrition. It is found in foods of plant origin.
Fiber is a fiber of plant origin that is resistant to enzymes in the digestive system. In the human body, it is not digested, but is excreted by the gastrointestinal tract almost unchanged. In the stomach, it swells and absorbs toxins on its fibers, toxins, excess ammonia and cholesterol, and then removes them from the body.

oilseeds (flax, sesame, milk thistle, pumpkin, corn, etc.) Bran is a solid crushed grain shell, which is a by-product in the flour mill. Fiber in the pharmacy is sold in the form of buckwheat, rye, oat and
wheat bran.Fiber is of two types: insoluble and soluble. The first is found in bran and most vegetables, consists of cellulose and lignin. The composition of soluble includes pectins and vegetable resins. Sources are seeds, oats, berries, citrus fruits, nuts, beans. Both types of fiber are found in soybeans.
