A daily blend of plant fibres for regularity, gut health + appetite It is recommended to have around 30g of fibre per day in an adult diet. However, most of us don’t consume enough, which can lead to digestive discomfort, sluggish bowel movements, poor appetite control, and an undernourished gut microbiome. A high-fibre supplement like Essential Fibre+ can make it easier to reach our daily target, especially for those with busy lifestyles, those who practice intermittent fasting, or those who have a dietary gap. Essential Fibre+ is a daily blend of 11 plant fibres and gut-soothing botanicals, led by PHGG - a clinically researched plant fibre that supports regularity and digestion, even in sensitive stomachs. In addition, pectin, green banana flour and beta glucans feed the good gut bacteria in your microbiome, while ginger, chamomile, and fennel work alongside them to calm the gut and ease bloating. Each serve of Essential Fibre+ contains 7g of low FODMAP fibre and it is gentle enough for daily use. No artificial sweeteners, just a subtle warmth from the ginger and cinnamon in the formula. This product is manufactured where sesame and mustard are present. If you have an allergy to either, please avoid this product. Why is fibre so crucial to gut health? Fibre is critical because it does two big jobs at once: it keeps the digestive system physically moving and it feeds the ecosystem of microbes living in your gut (your gut microbiome). When you eat enough fibre, it acts like a steady supply of “fuel” for beneficial bacteria. In return, they help maintain a healthier gut environment, support regular bowel movements, and contribute to a stronger intestinal barrier. What does it taste like? This product is all natural with no artificial colours or flavourings added. The taste is slightly tart, with subtle spice from the herbs and plant extracts. What results can I expect? You can expect to see bowel changes quite quickly. Whilst fibre is great for promoting a full and satisfying bowel movement, it won't cause you to make dashes to the bathroom. It's a non-urgent formula, giving you plenty of notice. Fibre promotes feelings of satiety and can make you feel more full than usual, so don't be alarmed if your appetite changes. What are the different types of fibre and why are they important? Dietary fibre is the part of plant foods that your body can’t fully digest, but it plays a major role in keeping your digestive system and even your wider health functioning properly. There are two main types of fibre, and most fibre-rich foods contain a mix of both soluble and insoluble fibre. Soluble fibre dissolves in water to form a gel-like substance in your gut. It helps slow digestion, which can support steadier blood sugar levels and help lower cholesterol by binding to it in the digestive tract. It also feeds beneficial gut bacteria, making it an important prebiotic fibre. Foods like oats, beans, apples, and psyllium are rich in soluble fibre. Insoluble fibre does not dissolve in water. Instead, it adds bulk to stool and helps food move more efficiently through the digestive system. This is especially important for preventing constipation and supporting regular bowel movements. You’ll find it in foods like whole grains, nuts, seeds, and vegetable skins. Both types are important because they work together - one helps regulate and nourish the internal gut environment, while the other keeps everything moving smoothly.
