(Previously called CONSTIfree)

Product summary

Fibre Aid is a high-fibre powder that mixes into water or juice, bringing together psyllium husks, glucomannan, sugar beet fibre, L-Glutamine, prebiotics, probiotics, herbs and stevia leaf extract. It is sweetened with stevia rather than sugar.

Its fibre content makes it suitable for everyday, long-term use. Sugar beet fibre contributes to an increase in faecal bulk.

Specifically formulated to contribute to an increase in faecal bulk, as well as encourage regular bowel movements, better digestion of foods, re-population of beneficial bowel bacteria, stable blood sugar levels and appetite control.

Sugar beet fibre, in particular, contributes to an increase in faecal bulk in two ways: the insoluble components of the fibre increase faecal bulk by absorbing water in the large intestine, while the soluble components are fermented by bacteria in the large intestine leading to an increase in bacterial mass. As such, this source of fibre may have a beneficial physiological effect for people who want to improve or maintain a normal bowel function.

Approved health claims:

• Sugar beet fibre contributes to an increase in faecal bulk.

• Fibre is a key ingredient to a healthy, varied and balanced diet.
• Glucomannan contributes to weight loss in the context of an energy-restricted diet. This beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3g of glucomannan in three doses of 1g each, together with 1-2 glasses of water, before meals.
• Glucomannan contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels.
• This beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 4g of glucomannan per day.
