Fibre

Winners Explained

Fibre is an essential component in our diets and has proven benefits in both digestive and heart health. The British Nutritional Foundation guideline recommends a daily intake of 24g, but the average intake in the UK is only about half of this. As such, there is a general requirement to increase fibre intake; some supplements offer a convenient means of achieving this. In the opinion of the SC expert panel, a supplement should provide a minimum of 5g per day to make a meaningful contribution to fibre intake.

This powder product provides 3g of fibre per two teaspoons and is recommended at 2-4 teaspoons per day. As such, this product at the higher recommended dosage level is likely to deliver the range of benefits associated with increasing intake of fibre up to the daily guideline level of 24g. This powder is soluble and tasteless and so is easy to add to hot or cold drinks or other types of food. Also, this product represents good value for money.
