247.569 | Omega-3 Fats | https://www.bernies.com/?post_type=bu-nutrient-subtype&p=247569 | publish | Omega-3 fatty acids are essential polyunsaturated fats that play key roles in reducing inflammation, supporting brain and heart function, and promoting overall health. They must be balanced with omega-6 fatty acids, which support immune function and cell growth but can contribute to inflammation if consumed in excess relative to omega-3s. |

261.261 | Insoluble Fiber | https://www.bernies.com/?post_type=bu-nutrient-subtype&p=261261 | publish | Insoluble Fiber does not dissolve in water and passes through the digestive tract largely intact, adding bulk to stool and keeping things moving. It helps promote regular, firm bowel movements, prevent constipation, and support anal gland health. Key sources include flaxseed, miscanthus grass, and vegetable fibers, which are often used in digestive support and stool consistency supplements. |

261.262 | Soluble Fiber | https://www.bernies.com/?post_type=bu-nutrient-subtype&p=261262 | publish | Soluble Fiber dissolves in water and turns into a gel-like substance in the gut, slowing digestion and feeding beneficial gut bacteria. This helps support a healthy microbiome, regulate stool consistency, and balance blood sugar levels. It also softens stool, making it easier to pass. Found in pumpkin, flaxseed, and chicory root, soluble fiber is commonly used in gut health and stool-quality supplements. |
