Dr Vegan - Fibre Complex 2800mg 60s

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, hemicellulose 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.
