Fruit, vegetables, dried beans, and peas are known to have soluble dietary fibers, whereas the majority of whole grains are known to have insoluble fibers. Dietary fiber is the part of the plant that is indigestible by gastrointestinal enzymes. It is beneficial for digestive health. The regular use of dietary fibers either in raw form through fruits, vegetables, and grains or through supplements seems to reduce and prevent health problems such as constipation, high cholesterol level and blood sugar, and various other cardiovascular diseases.

Based on application, there are various supplements and nutraceutical options available for dietary fibers. The dietary fibers are carbohydrate polysaccharides that, when ingested, are not fully digestible through the gastrointestinal enzymes, therefore absorbing water and ferment, which leads to the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestine. This is advantageous for building immunity and for smooth bowel movements. The intake of fibers in diet either in food or supplement form has been associated with a positive impact on several gastrointestinal disorders such as duodenal ulcers, appendicitis, constipation, and colon cancer.
