A fiber derived from field peas, typically the fibrous residue left after pea starch and protein are extracted. In supplements it functions as a bulking agent and binder.

Why it’s used

Used to add bulk, help bind tablet or capsule contents, and sometimes to contribute dietary fiber content to a product.

What the evidence says

As a manufacturing ingredient, pea fiber is not taken for a specific physiological effect beyond the general, well-known role dietary fiber plays in digestion; it is not separately studied as an active ingredient in this context.
