Fibre for health.
Fibre is a key part of our dietary intake to ensure we maintain a
healthy bowel. Not eating enough fibre can lead to digestive problems
such as constipation and other chronic digestive disorders.
Lepicol is a multi-fibre source product containing gentle psyllium
husk powder known to maintain normal bowel transit, as well as inulin
which is a prebiotic fibre source. Together, these two ingredients go a
long way to help provide your recommended daily intake of fibre -
something that many of us lack with the modern diet. The third key
ingredient of Lepicol are 5 strains of live bacteria. These beneficial
live bacteria help to balance the microflora in your digestive tract,
supporting in the health of your bowel.
