Frequently Asked QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

created by soluble fibre and do they assist in the absorption of minerals?

When soluble fibre reaches the large intestine they begin a fermentation process that yields short-chain fatty acids that can affect major regulatory systems such as blood glucose and the environment in the colon. Short-chain fatty acids can balance the pH of the colon which increases the absorption of minerals.

What qualifies a fibre to be a prebiotic fibre?

All prebiotics are fibre but not all fibres are prebiotics. They must resist gastric acidity and hydrolysis by enzymes, ferment by the intestinal microflora, and only stimulate the growth and activity of good bacteria.

I’m a diabetic and I was wondering if glucosamine will affect my blood sugar levels?

One serving of Frame Essentials (865mg) has approximately the same glucose content to 1/3 cup of sliced apples (880mg), or 1/3 of a navel orange (910mg). However, if you are diabetic you may consider consulting a health practitioner before taking this product. Furthermore, glucosamine is glucose attached to an amino acid. Yes, diabetics should not take a lot of glucose, but they can consume it in small amounts without too many worries.
