Fibre Supplements For Constipation

When you're a little backed up, and you're not sure what to do—fibre to the rescue! Though it's not exactly a caped superhero, fibre does have some pretty super powers, such as supporting a healthy bowel motion. And when things aren't quite moving as they should, fibre can be the gentle nudge that the bowel needs—like pushing a car with a flat battery to get it started. However, it is important to note that fibre supplements should only be used for mild to moderate constipation and not for severe constipation. In addition, all fibre supplements should be taken with a full glass of water, and careful monitoring of water consumption throughout the day. Remember, for fibre to be effective in supporting healthy bowel motility, it needs to be wet. Therefore, water intake throughout the day should be optimised if necessary. Insufficienct water intake is actually a separate risk factor for constipation. 

So, let the fibrous caped-crusader weave hers/his magic in supporting bowel health!
