What is ProFibe?
ProFibe is
a uniquely manufactured, water
soluble fiber (WSF) product. ProFibe
has been clinically demonstrated to
be an effective adjunct to diet and
exercise for reducing cholesterol
levels and reducing soft arterial
plaque. ProFibe is approved under
the FDA G.R.A.S. ruling (Generally
Recognized As Safe) and accepted by
W.H.O. (World Health Organization).
Why reduce
cholesterol?
A high
cholesterol level, especially the
type known as Low Density Lipid
cholesterol (LDL) has been
identified as a major risk factor
for heart disease. To some extent,
cholesterol levels are determined by
heredity. However, most people can
lower high cholesterol levels by
attention to diet, exercise, and
sufficient daily intake of fiber.
Why Fiber?
Most
health authorities, including the
American Heart Association and
Federal Government agencies
concerned with health, now recommend
increasing fiber in the daily diet.
This is especially important for
people at risk for heart disease.
Fiber has long demonstrated its
effectiveness in reducing
cholesterol. However, most people in
developed countries have a difficult
time consuming the amounts of
fruits, vegetables and whole grain
needed to obtain optimal amounts of
fiber in their daily diet.
Why Water Soluble Fiber?
For years researchers have known
that water soluble fiber (WSF) could
dramatically reduce cholesterol
levels. While all fiber is useful,
WSF has proven itself most
effective. Water Soluble Fiber
includes substances such as guar
gum, locust bean, and citrus pectin.
How is ProFibe
different from fiber products I may
now be using?
Most fiber
products recommended for
?regularity? contain psyllium husk,
which is an insoluble fiber.
Similarly, oat bran, while a
healthful product, is not 100% water
soluble fiber. Clinical studies have
found ProFibe, which contains only
water soluble fibers (WSF) to be as
effective for most people as
prescription medication such as
Mevacor and Zocor, for example.
Why don?t we use more
Water Soluble Fiber?
Although water soluble fiber (WSF)
is highly effective in reducing
cholesterol levels, it would be
difficult to eat the enormous
amounts of apples, grapefruit or
similar foods each day needed for
sufficient amounts. In their "pure"
or isolated form, water soluble
fiber products are slimy and sticky,
and most people will not consume the
amounts needed for optimal results.
In dry form, as pills, the effective
amounts would require taking dozens
of pills each day, a costly and
inconvenient regimen
What is special about
ProFibe?
ProFibe is
made from guar gum and citrus
pectin. Each serving of ProFibe
contains the citrus pectin
equivalent to two whole grapefruit
-- rinds and all! After years of
experimentation, we at CerBurg
developed a manufacturing process to
complex water soluble fiber (guar
gum and citrus pectin) with a
protein, such as egg white or soy.
This process offers a unique product
that can be easily taken each day in
a palatable drink.
What are some of the
advantages of ProFibe?
Our unique
manufacturing process offers two
benefits to the user. First, ProFibe
is a flavorless drink that most
people tolerate well. Second, our
unique manufacturing technique
insures a 100% utilization of the
water soluble fiber.
Why use ProFibe?
Heart
disease is the leading killer of
both men and women in the United
States today. As a cause of death,
it leads cancer, AIDS, homicide and
accidents, COMBINED ! Your chance of
dying from cardiovascular disease is
one in two or 50% !
Some risk factors for heart disease
(such as heredity) cannot be
changed. Fortunately, we can modify
other risk factors, such as smoking,
diet and exercise, by our own
actions. Some authorities believe we
could reduce deaths from heart
disease by up to 80% by modifying
these ?voluntary? risk factors.
One important risk factor for heart
disease is cholesterol level. If
your doctor has told you that your
cholesterol level is high, diet and
exercise can help. For many people,
however, diet and exercise are not
enough.
Each percentage point drop in
cholesterol levels is associated
with a decreased risk of heart
disease. Clinical studies on human
patients, as well as animal studies
have shown ProFibe can help lower
cholesterol levels, an important
heart disease risk factor.
If I use ProFibe, can
I forget about diet, exercise and
other risk factors?
Definitely
not! ProFibe is a valuable addition
to a total program of a healthy
diet, regular moderate exercise,
blood pressure control, stress
management, and elimination of
smoking and excessive drinking. This
is a program for you to develop with
your health-care provider. ProFibe
can add to the effectiveness of this
program by helping you to reduce
cholesterol.
Are there any side
effects when taking ProFibe?
Water
soluble fibers may create
flatulence. ProFibe is to be
gradually introduced into your daily
routine to reduce the gas produced.
Individual results vary.
Try ProFibe for just one month.
ProFibe helps most people lower
cholesterol, an important risk
factor for heart disease. The best
way to see if ProFibe will work for
you is to try it for just one month.
Ask your physician to order a
fasting cholesterol screening.
Then take ProFibe, as directed, for
four weeks (includes one week
gradual incorporation). Finally, ask
your physician for a second fasting
cholesterol screening. This will be
your best demonstration as to the
value of ProFibe for you. If you are
on prescription medication do not
discontinue. ProFibe channels
differently than drugs. After a
period of time (60 days) you may be
able to reduce the dosage or
completely eliminate the
prescription medication. Be sure to
consult your health care provider.
How do I use ProFibe?
ProFibe is
provided in a convenient 380 gm
container, containing a one (level)
tablespoon scoop. Each can contains
32 servings. Take one half scoop
initially (WSF?s may produce
flatulence) with a 10-12 oz. glass
of liquid such as water, apple,
grape or cranberry juice, skim or
soy milk, Crystal Light, Gatorade,
etc.. Stir vigorously or shake well
before drinking. Gradually increase
your intake of ProFibe over the next
several days to reach one scoop,
three times per day, preferably with
meals.
May I take my entire
daily ration of ProFibe at once?
Our
customers report best results when
ProFibe is taken three times a day
in equally divided doses. Three
scoops a day, that?s the key!
What if I am taking a
cholesterol lowering drug?
If you are
taking a prescription medication
such as Lovastatin, Mevacor, Zocor,
Questran or Pravachol, you may find
that ProFibe further lowers your
cholesterol. Continue your
medication as prescribed by your
physician. If you are taking a drug
such as Lopid, to lower
triglycerides (another blood lipid),
these levels may also drop.
IMPORTANT: Under no
circumstances stop taking any
prescribed medication except under
the supervision of your physician.
Many people find they can reduce
their drug intake when used in
conjunction with ProFibe, but this
is a decision to be made with your
physician.
