Trace Minerals and Antioxidants
Kfibre contains many trace minerals and antioxidants

While these are trace level values, Kfibre is a whole of plant source, with minimal processing that retains micronutrients rather than stripping or reducing the whole plant value to a single constituent food additive. Additionally, the bioavailable forms and full colon digestive presence will increase the absorption of the micronutrients in the body.
Chromium
Kfibre contains 65 % of the Adequate Daily Intake levels of the essential micronutrient Chromium which is known to enhance the action of insulin. Uncontrolled glucose levels in the body, which is generally seen in conjunction with carbohydrate heavy diets can lead to type II diabetes and obesity.
By enhancing the action of insulin with bioavailable chromium the body will more efficiently process glucose and affect feelings of satiety.
The diagram adjacent reflects the interaction of the chromium complex and insulin to improve glucose uptake

Silicon – Plant Source
Silicon is essential for bone health and connective tissue development and aids in the absorption of other minerals.
Sugarcane is known to absorb more Silicon than any other mineral nutrient and the table beside presents Kfibre ‘s analytical results of Bioavailable silicon.

Policosanols
Policosanols, and specifically Octacosanol, have been linked to health benefits for many years.
While the absolute benefits and research are still under debate a recent review of 22 studies involving nearly 1,900 people published in 2017, reported that sugar cane policosanol could significantly reduce total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol and increase HDL “good” cholesterol.
Kfibre is still carrying out research on the value of the policosanol content before making any health claims in this area

Tricin – Glycaemic Index lowering phytochemistry & polyphenols
Through recent analytical results from Southern Cross University, Kfibre has confirmed levels of Tricin which is tied to a-amylase inhibition, a key enzyme involved in the breakdown of carbohydrates in food. This inhibition can effectively lower the glycaemic index (GI) of any carbohydrate containing meal. Peer reviewed research proposes that -amylase inhibitors display many potential health uses.
The polyphenol profile of the Kfibre retail product below presents the whole plant origin and preservation of the polyphenols through processing and in the context of weight management via the lowering of glycaemic index and modulation of blood glucose levels.
There are strong peaks at 5 & 7 representing flavonoid glycoside – tricin diglycoside, which is tied a-amylase inhibition, thus slowing, or restricting the digestion of starch to available carbohydrates.
The simple benefit is :
- Lowering of Glycaemic Index (GI)
- Reduction in post prandial Blood Glucose Levels (BGLs)
- Promotion of healthy gut bacteria & digestion[3
