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.
Why Lepicol?
Lepicol is a multi-fibre source product containing gentle psyllium husk 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 is 5 strains of live bacteria. These beneficial bacteria help to balance the microflora in your digestive tract.
Suitable for:
• Maintaining a healthy, regular bowel.
• Irritable bowel syndrome.
