The soluble tapioca fiber found in B.O.S.S. Bars® is derived from the cassava plant, native to Brazil. This fiber provides a low-glycemic form of carbohydrates and reduces the amount of time it takes for food to move through the digestive tract. Dietary fiber is considered a “nutrient of concern” by the U.S. government, meaning that people generally do not consume enough of it.
As a prebiotic fiber, tapioca provides resistant starch that feeds your beneficial gut flora. Learn more about the importance of good gut health, and prebiotics in our linked articles on the subject.
