Agiofibe® is a fibre supplement formulated with a unique combination of insoluble and soluble fibre. It is a combination that closely resembles that found in a healthy, balanced diet. Agiofibe is made from the seeds and husks of psyllium (Plantago ovata).
Adequate dietary fibre is important for maintaining healthy digestion and regular bowel function. A healthy, balanced diet is made up of predominately insoluble fibre (vegetables, seeds, grains, etc). The ratio of fibres found in Agiofibe has been specially formulated to match this – consisting of mostly insoluble fibre, with a small amount of soluble fibre.
The unique balance of fibres found in Agiofibe is important, as it supports regular bowel function and helps to reduce uncomfortable symptoms, such as bloating and flatulence.
Experts suggest that we do not consume enough fibre in the average Australian diet, and may require up to 5-10g per day more than we currently get.
