Guided By Science
At Bacanale, we started by focusing only on our formula.
With help from multiple 3rd party formulation experts and analytical labs, we set out to find the most effective ingredients that were also all-natural, plant-based, and gentle for 99% of the population.
We believe in the bold claims we make and will continue to update this page with any new research, even if it conflicts with our prior understanding
Our Daily Fiber
"Fights Constipation"
A meta analysis of 19 studies concluded "dietary fiber intake can obviously increase stool frequency in patients with constipation"
In a comprehensive review of literature on the types of dietary fibers and their effects, the authors found that the fiber in our Daily Fiber, "can provide a laxative effect as it increases percentage of water content to soften/bulk stool"
In a study of regular and constipated patients, the addition of psyllium husk created a pronounced change in the microbiota of constipated patients, which points to a clear connection between dietary fiber, constipation, and changing a gut's microbiome.
"...consumption of psyllium husks introduced small but significant changes in the intestinal microbiota of both healthy and constipated patients. This change was more pronounced in the constipated patients."
Our Daily Fiber
"Lowers Cholesterol"
In another review of decades of clinical studies, noted that the "effectiveness of psyllium for lowering elevated serum cholesterol levels has been assessed in 21 randomized, well-controlled clinical studies (more than 1,500 subjects) ... with all studies showing significant cholesterol-lowering effects, ranging from –2% to –20% for total cholesterol, and –6% to –24% for LDL cholesterol, vs placebo.
In a study of 54 participants, even with only 3 weeks of psyllium husk, "Total cholesterol was significantly decreased from 252+/-39mg/dl before treatment to 239+/-37mg/dl after 3 weeks of treatment. Similarly, low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol decreased from 174+/-34 to 162+/-31mg/dl during the study."
Some participants did experience mild adverse GI reactions in the first week of psyllium husk, but symptoms lessened by week 2 and participants reported overall "positive" responses after the 4 weeks. We recommended anyone new to dietary fiber start slow that first week
A meta-analysis of existing studies found that soluble fiber, was associated with small but significant decreases in total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol.

Supports "Healthier Hearts"
In a study of 54 participants, even with only 3 weeks of psyllium husk, "Total cholesterol was significantly decreased from 252+/-39mg/dl before treatment to 239+/-37mg/dl after 3 weeks of treatment. Similarly, low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol decreased from 174+/-34 to 162+/-31mg/dl during the study."
Some participants did experience mild adverse GI reactions in the first week of psyllium husk, but symptoms lessened by week 2 and participants reported overall "positive" responses after the 4 weeks. We recommended anyone new to dietary fiber start slow that first week
Our Daily Fiber
Supports "Healthy Colons"
In a multi-year study of tens of thousands of individuals who underwent multiple screenings, the population that increased their dietary fiber saw reduced risks of colon cancer.
"This large, prospective study within a population-based screening trial suggests that individuals consuming the highest intakes of dietary fiber have reduced risks of incident colorectal adenoma and distal colon cancer"
Our Daily Fiber is a
"Defense Against Hemorrhoids"
Seven trials of randomized 378 patients, part with addition of dietary fiber to their diets and part control showed that fiber provided "a consistent beneficial effect for symptoms and bleeding in the treatment of symptomatic hemorrhoids"
