Fiber supplements
Fiber supplements contain dietary fiber, which is the indigestible portion of plant-derived foods; indigestible in that humans lack the enzymes necessary for their digestion.
Fiber belongs to the class of carbohydrates and consists of a long polysaccharide chain, basically a long chain of sugars; however, some are not part of this class (see lignins). Precisely because of this property of not being digestible, they have very little caloric value for humans. They are also essential for proper intestinal health.
