Studien und Literaturhinweise

It is time consuming -- and sometimes costly -- to identify the medical research relevant to specific healthcare products. To help you find the information you need more quickly, we have put together a list of the most important recent studies, which you will find here.

For background information on nutrition, dietetics and, in particular, fiber, please see the Additional literature page below.
