Superior digestive tolerance, clean taste and texture

Tate & Lyle’s Promitor soluble corn fiber is easily incorporated into a variety of dairy applications, significantly boosting fiber without creating a chalky or grainy mouthfeel. Recent clinical studies show that adding it to a food or beverage improves the absorption of calcium, likely because the soluble corn fiber, acting as a prebiotic, is fermented by the microbiota in the digestive tract, which lowers pH and allows an increase in absorption of calcium and other minerals.
