Product Description
-------------------
With today's busy lives and irregular eating patterns, many of
us find it difficult to keep our bowels y. The
benefits of fibre are well known, and the current European
recommendation for the daily intake of fibre is 25g - something
that many of us lack with the modern diet. Therefore, providing
high quality fibre supplements in the diet will bring many
digestive advantages. Lepicol is a three-in-one combination of
gentle psyllium husk fibre supplement, live bacterial cultures
and inulin. The main fibre source within Lepicol products is
Psyllium husk (ago ovata). Psyllium husks are a great fibre
supplement as it is able to normalize stool size by being water
retentive and, at the same time, forms a soft gel which eases the
stool along the lower digestive tract ready for evacuation.
Psyllium husks have the advantage of being much gentler than some
common fibre supplements (such as wheat or bran), many of which
could irritate a sensitive bowel. Inulin is a fibre that is
sourced from chicory root. Inulin is not broken down by the body
- it is fermented by live bacteria in the gut to support the
growth of live bacteria. Lepicol is manufactured by ADM Protexin
in their purpose built state-of-the-art factory in Somerset. ADM
