Fibre Complex is a high fibre formula, developed by practitioners, providing both soluble and insoluble fibre. Fibre in our diet is essential for optimal digestive health, yet deficiency in fibre – ‘a fibre gap’ – is very common. Fibre Complex helps fill those dietary gaps to support daily rhythm and a flourishing gut microbiome.
WHY SO GOOD?
Containing 5 different types of both soluble and insoluble fibre including Psyllium Husk, it fills dietary fibre gaps and helps to support optimal digestive health
HOW TO TAKE?
Take 1–4 capsules per day with plenty of water.
You can open the capsule and add the contents to your food or drink.
If taking a fibre supplement for the first time, start with 1-2 capsules per day and adjust accordingly.
Description
An adequate intake of both soluble and insoluble fibre is vital for general health and wellbeing, and DR.VEGAN® Fibre Complex is a high strength formula of both soluble and insoluble fibre.
Dietary fibre is an indigestible complex carbohydrate that is found in the structural components of plants. Although they cannot be absorbed by the body and have no calorific value, the health benefits of eating a diet rich in multiple sources of fibre, are immense.
Benefits of a high fibre diet include the prevention of constipation, the regulation of blood glucose levels and the prevention of diabetes, protection against cardiovascular disease and possibly reducing the risk of other very serious health conditions.
Fibre can be classified as soluble and insoluble, depending on their solubility, and both are essential for optimal health. Insoluble fibres consist mostly of cell wall components such as cellulose, hemi-cellulose and lignin. Insoluble fibre is slightly harder to digest, so it helps to bulk up our stools. Insoluble fibre is also slowly utilised by healthy gut bacteria, helping support a healthy and vibrant gut microbiome. Insoluble fibre is found in roughage like broccoli, wheat bran, the skins of fruit and vegetables or whole linseeds.
Soluble fibres consist of non-cellulosic polysaccharides such as pectin, gums and mucilage. Soluble fibre will absorb water, dissolve and form a gel-like substance that slows down our digestion and softens our stools. Soluble fibres will ferment in the gut and contribute to the growth and diversity of the beneficial bacteria found within our intestines. Examples of good soluble fibre include lentils, oats, barley and psyllium.
If you currently take prescribed medication, it is best to take your Fibre Complex one hour before or after your medication. This will make sure the fibre complex does not interfere with the absorption of your medication.
