Optimal Absorption

On average, most diets provide 10g of fibre intake daily, which is considered inadequate. You may wish to increase your intake to a total of 25g to 60g daily, in various forms and from various foods.

If supplementing, do not take with food. In addition, drink a minimum of 8oz./250mL water for each tablespoon of fibre.

If you have a bowel obstruction, Crohn's disease, diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis, or any other condition involving the GI (gastrointestinal) tract, consult with your naturopath or other health practitioner to determine the appropriateness of fibre supplementation for your needs.
