Its absorbent quality considerably increases the volume of water in the feces, which softens feces and stimulates peristalsis, thereby easing elimination. Plantago ovata is very useful for constipation or any condition where intestinal elimination needs help (anal fissures, hemorrhoids, pregnancy, after anal or rectal surgery). The mucilages in psyllium are emollient; they soften, lubricate and protect the lining of the gastro-intestinal tract. Psyllium is useful in conditions where the intestinal lining is irritated (irritable bowel, inflammatory diseases of the colon). Psyllium helps control fermentation and growth of intestinal bacteria. It also absorbs toxins in the intestines and helps eliminate them. [POWDER]+ Earn 11 Reward PointsOur Price: $11.45In Stock -

Its absorbent quality considerably increases the volume of water in the feces, which softens feces and stimulates peristalsis, thereby easing elimination. Plantago ovata is very useful for constipation or any condition where intestinal elimination needs help (anal fissures, hemorrhoids, pregnancy, after anal or rectal surgery). Psyllium seed husks are mostly made up of fibre, therefore they are not digested and have a strictly mechanical effect on the intestines. Using psyllium helps accelerate intestinal transit and increase the number of bowel movements per day. Where there is diarrhea, psyllium absorbs excess water in the intestine and helps form solid feces. [LOOSE TEA]+ Earn 21 Reward PointsOur Price: $21.90In Stock -

What Is Dietary Fibre, And Why Do I Need It?
Did you know that while Health Canada recommends that adult men and women consume 38 and 25g of dietary fibre daily, respectively, statistics tell us that most individuals consume less than half that amount? This is problematic because fibre is essential to health in a number of ways. For instance, dietary fibre promotes digestive health by adding bulk to the stool, preventing constipation and promoting regular bowel movements.
Fibre can also help prevent or alleviate common digestive issues like hemorrhoids, diverticulitis, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Adequate consumption of dietary fibre also helps support weight management by making us feel fuller for extended periods and helps manage blood sugar levels by slowing the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.
Moreover, fibre prevents rapid spikes in blood glucose after a meal, which is especially important for individuals with diabetes or those prone to the condition. Moreover, dietary fibre helps lower cholesterol levels, provides a nourishing environment for gut bacteria, and helps promote robust immune function.
Soluble Versus Insoluble Fibre
Dietary fibre is a carbohydrate in plant foods that the human body cannot digest. Some of the richest sources of fibre include fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts and seeds, cereals, berries, root vegetables, whole grain bread and pasta, and wheat bran and oat bran. These foods contain two kinds of fibre – soluble and insoluble fibre- each having different characteristics and playing distinct roles in our digestive system. Here's a breakdown of the differences between soluble and insoluble fibre:
Soluble Fiber –
Dietary and supplement soluble fibre dissolves in water, forming a gel-like substance in the digestive tract. It is composed of complex carbohydrates that can be broken down by bacteria in the gut. Due to its ability to absorb water, soluble fibre can increase the viscosity of the contents in the digestive system, making it thicker. Soluble fibre is fermented by the beneficial bacteria in the large intestine. During fermentation, these bacteria break down the soluble fibre, producing short-chain fatty acids, such as butyrate, acetate, and propionate, which provide energy for the cells lining the colon.
- Soluble fibre is known to:Lower cholesterol – i.e. help reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol levels by interfering with its absorption.
- Regulate blood sugar levels
- Promote a healthy gut
Insoluble Fibre –
Dietary insoluble fibre does not dissolve in water and retains its form throughout digestion. It is made up of mostly cellulose, which is resistant to digestion.
Because it cannot absorb water, insoluble fibre does not significantly affect the consistency of the digestive contents. Moreover, since it passes relatively unchanged through the digestive system, it adds bulk to the stool. As such, it can help promote regular bowel movements and prevent constipation by speeding up food movement through the digestive tract. Insoluble fibre is known to:
- Promote regular bowel movements, prevent constipation and promote regularity.
- Prevent diverticular disease and other conditions affecting the colon.
Benefits Of Dietary Fibre Supplements
- Acts As A Prebiotic To Feed Good Gut Bacteria
- Aids Weight Loss / Weight Management
- Helps Control Blood Sugar
- Reduces Cholesterol
- Relieves Constipation
Fibre Supplements
Fibre supplements come in various shapes and sizes, including powder or granules, capsules and tablets, and chewable formats like tablets, wafers, and gummies. Soluble fibre supplements, such as psyllium husk, methylcellulose, or inulin, usually have a potency that ranges from 1 to 5 grams of fibre per serving. Insoluble fibre supplements, on the other hand, such as wheat bran or cellulose, tend to have a higher potency. They may provide around 3 to 10 grams of fibre per serving.
Selecting the Best Fibre Supplements For Your Needs
When taking fibre supplements, you should follow a few general guidelines. These include:
Choosing the right supplement – As previously mentioned, various fibre supplements are available, each with its distinct effects. This is why it's essential to read labels carefully when selecting a fibre supplement.
Starting with a low dose – Begin with a lower dosage and gradually increase it over time. This allows your body to adjust to the added fibre and helps prevent digestive discomfort, including gas and bloating.
Taking it with water – Fibre supplements need adequate water to work effectively. Drink a full glass of water when taking the supplement.
Consistency – It's important to take fibre supplements consistently. Incorporating them into your daily routine can help regulate digestive health, lipid profile, weight, and overall health and wellness.
