Introducing BGV Fiber: Daily Digestive and Gut Health Support Made Simple
TRY THE NEW BGV FIBER GUMMIES!
Black women are often encouraged to “eat better” without providing information on the proper nutrients needed to balance their gut. One crucial nutrient that is frequently overlooked is fiber.
And when fiber intake is low, the effects show up everywhere, in digestion, energy, blood sugar, gut health, and even skin.
That’s why we just launched new BGV Fiber Support Gummies, formulated to help Black women close the fiber gap in a way that’s realistic, gentle, and easy to stick with.
Why Fiber Matters for the Body
Fiber is the part of plant foods your body can’t digest, but your gut bacteria can.
When fiber intake is low:
- Beneficial gut bacteria lose their primary fuel
- Harmful bacteria can overgrow
- Inflammation increases
- Digestion slows
- Blood sugar spikes more easily
When fiber is adequate, the benefits ripple throughout the body.
Why Fiber Intake Is Lower in Black Women
Research consistently shows that African-American women have the lowest dietary fiber intake of any racial or ethnic group in the U.S.
In one extensive cross-sectional study, non-Hispanic Black women consumed just 12.7 grams of fiber per day, compared to 15.7 grams in European-American women. Another study examining women enrolled in WIC found African-American mothers had a median fiber intake of only 8.8 grams per day, far below recommendations (NIH).
Adult women are advised to consume about 25 grams of fiber daily, and most Black women are getting less than half of that.
At the same time, Black women face higher rates of conditions where fiber plays a protective role, including:
- Type 2 diabetes
- High blood pressure and cardiovascular disease
- Obesity
- Colorectal cancer
This combination of low fiber intake and a higher health risk burden necessitates fiber support.
How Fiber Supports Black Women’s Health
Here’s what consistent fiber intake can help support:
Digestive Comfort & Regularity
- Keeps food moving through your system
- Supports regular bowel movements
- Helps reduce bloating and heaviness after meals
Gut Microbiome Balance
- Feeds beneficial gut bacteria
- Supports the production of short-chain fatty acids like butyrate
- Helps maintain a strong gut lining and reduce inflammation
Blood Sugar & Metabolic Health
- Slows digestion and glucose absorption
- Helps stabilize blood sugar levels
- Supports insulin sensitivity
Heart Health
- Soluble fiber helps bind cholesterol in the gut.
- Supports healthy LDL cholesterol levels
- Associated with lower cardiovascular risk
Weight and Appetite Support
- Helps you feel fuller longer
- Supports appetite regulation
- Linked to a healthier body weight over time
Clearer Skin & Overall Wellness
- Better digestion supports detox pathways
- A healthier gut often shows up as clearer, calmer skin
Why a Fiber Supplement Can Be a Practical Solution
Whole foods like fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grains are always the goal. But between busy schedules, food access issues, cultural eating patterns, and taste preferences, hitting fiber targets daily isn’t always realistic.
Clinical research shows that fiber supplements can:
- Improve cholesterol levels
- Support blood pressure
- Improve glycemic control
- Support weight management
- Improve bowel regularity
It’s important to note that supplements aren’t a replacement for food; but a tool to help close the gap.
