Made With Real Ingredients: Prebiotic Soluble Tapioca Fiber

Tapioca fiber is a soluble dietary fiber derived from the tapioca root, a plant native to South America. It is produced through a process that isolates and purifies the fiber content from the starch of the cassava plant.

Manufacturers add tapioca fiber as a source of dietary fiber and as a low-calorie sweetener. It can also function as a prebiotic, feeding beneficial gut bacteria. It is commonly found in baked goods, snack bars, and confectionery.

Tapioca fiber is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of soluble fiber, which may aid digestion and promote gut health. While generally well-tolerated, excessive consumption may cause digestive discomfort. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar fibers, but specific evaluations for tapioca fiber's health effects at typical intake levels are ongoing.
