Getting Your Daily Fiber the Swiss Way

PRESS RELEASE – Switzerland, April 2010

Getting Your Daily Fiber the Swiss Way

Most consumers know that fiber is important for good health and that they don't eat enough of it, but probably few have ever thought of dietary fiber supplements as treats. Now we can get more natural fiber without sacrificing taste.

Research shows that fiber may prevent cancer, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and other diseases. The National Cancer Institute estimates that Americans now consume an average of 11 grams of fiber daily and recommends doubling that amount. Twenty-two grams of dietary fiber is the equivalent of 22 stalks, about two heads, of celery.

On-the-go business professionals, busy seniors, bustling Moms, and overbooked kids look at doctors and nutritionists like they have two heads when these professionals suggest munching nine servings of vegetables per day. Yet, consuming between 20 and 30 grams of fiber a day can reduce risk of cancer, according to The National Cancer Institute. One SANKOM chew provides about the same amount of fiber as a celery stalk, so enjoying the suggested 3-4 pieces per day deliciously boosts daily dietary fiber fulfillment.

The SANKOM chew is a whole new idea - a delicious, functional snack enriched with valuable vitamins as part of a healthy diet. Until now, the chews have not been available in the United States but they are already a favorite in Europe as well as some Asian countries.

Now health- conscious consumers in the United States can enjoy these delicious chews that support good health and taste great. Doctors, nurses and nutritionists are among SANKOM's biggest fans of this product. There is no other fiber supplement product on the market that is a confection like SANKOM, or approaches its great taste and convenience. Individually wrapped SANKOM nougat pieces are completely portable and hygienic as well as delicious.

The easily chewable fiber and vitamin supplements are available in several natural flavors such as Cherry, Green Tea with Grapefruit, Peach, and Strawberry. Customers who have tried the product have expressed very positive opinions about the fiber chews as a delicious and zesty nutritional snack that could please the taste of both adults and children. SANKOM Dietary Fibers are available without doctor's prescription in pharmacies, drug and food stores, and supermarkets.
