Product Details
Fibre Ultra Rich Plantago + F.O.S. is an excellent source of fiber. It purifies, decontaminates and is 100% natural. Plantago is a bulk forming laxative and is high in both fiber and mucilage. The laxative properties of plantago are due to the swelling of the husk when it comes in contact with water. This forms a gelatinous mass that keeps feces hydrated and soft, provided it is taken with sufficient water. The resulting bulk stimulates a reflex contraction of the walls of the bowel, followed by emptying. With the prebiotic fructo-oligosaccharides.
Suggested Use
Adults (19+): Take 1 teaspoon twice daily. For each gram of psyllium, take with 30 ml of liquid (water, milk, fruit juice, or similar aqueous beverage). Drink immediately and maintain adequate fluid intake. Effects observed 12–24 hours after the first dose; results may take 2–3 days. Take 2 hours before or after taking other medications. Avoid long-term use and consult a health care practitioner for use beyond 6 weeks. Also take 1–2 capsules of enteric-coated AcidophilusUltra each day. Start progressively or as directed by your health care practitioner. Our AcidophilusUltra capsule is protected by an enteric coating. The capsule must survive stomach acids and be delivered to the small intestine in order to work. The beneficial activity of acidophilus capsules without an enteric coating is destroyed in the stomach by stomach acids.
