Why Choose Vitadefence Psyllium Husk Multi with High Fibre Botanicals?

Digestive health is fundamental to overall wellbeing. When your digestive system functions smoothly, you feel lighter, more energetic, and more comfortable throughout the day. The NHS recommends 30 g of fibre a day from food. Our Psyllium Husk Multi combines 11 plant ingredients, with a minimum of 513mg dietary fibre per capsule.

Psyllium husk (Plantago ovata) is a source of soluble fibre. At 500mg per capsule, psyllium husk forms the foundation of this comprehensive digestive formula.

Psyllium is derived from the seeds of the Plantago ovata plant, native to India and Iran. The husk—the outer coating of the seed—contains mucilage, a gel-forming fibre that swells when it comes into contact with water.

Sugar Beet Fibre Contributes to an Increase in Faecal Bulk and Normal Bowel Movements

Each capsule contains 60 mg sugar beet fibre.

Sugar beet fibre contains soluble and insoluble fibre.

Broccoli Extract (70mg)

Broccoli (Brassica Oleracea) is a cruciferous vegetable rich in fibre and beneficial plant compounds.

Sugar Beet Fibre (60mg)

Fenugreek Seed Extract (40mg)

Fenugreek (Trigonella Foenum-Graecum) seeds contain mucilaginous fibre similar to psyllium. Used in traditional medicine systems for digestive support, fenugreek complements the other fibre sources.

Dosage: Take 1 or 2 capsules, 1 to 3 times per day or adjust intake as required.

CRITICAL: Always take with a minimum of 250ml of water.

Ideal Timing: Ideally take before an evening meal. Take total intake over 2 meals.

Flexible Dosing:

Start with a lower dose and gradually increase to allow your digestive system to adjust to the increased fibre intake.

Do not exceed the recommended daily intake.

When taking any fibre supplement, adequate water intake is essential. Fibre absorbs water to work effectively, and insufficient hydration can lead to discomfort.

Minimum: 250ml (about 1 cup) of water with each dose Recommended: Increase your overall daily water intake when supplementing with fibre Target: Aim for at least 2 litres of water throughout the day

Taking fibre without enough water can cause discomfort.

How much fibre does each capsule contain? Minimum 513mg of dietary fibre per capsule. At the label maximum (2 capsules, 3 times a day) you take about 3 g of fibre.

How much water should I drink with this? Minimum 250ml per dose, but ideally increase your overall daily water intake to 2+ litres when supplementing with fibre.

Consistent use is key.

Can I take this long-term? Yes, when taken as directed with adequate water. However, the goal should be to also improve dietary fibre intake through whole foods.

Will this cause bloating or gas? It can, especially when first starting or if taken in too high a dose. Start low and increase gradually. Ensure adequate water intake. If bloating persists, reduce the dose.

The label advises taking it before an evening meal. However, you can adjust timing to suit your routine.

Can I open the capsules and mix with food? Yes, you can mix the contents into water, smoothies, or food. However, still ensure you consume adequate liquid with it.

Will this interact with my medications? Fibre can affect absorption of some medications. Take any medications at least 2 hours before or after this supplement.

Is psyllium husk safe for everyone? Most people tolerate it well, but those with intestinal obstruction, difficulty swallowing, or esophageal narrowing should not use it. Consult your doctor if you have any digestive disorders.

How does this compare to fibre powders? Capsules are more convenient and easier to dose accurately. However, the fibre content per capsule is lower than a scoop of powder, so you'd need multiple capsules to match powder doses.

If you are pregnant, ask your doctor before use. However, always consult your healthcare provider first.

For optimal digestive health, combine supplementation with lifestyle practices:

1. Increase dietary fibre - Aim for 25-30g daily from whole foods (fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes)
2. Stay well hydrated - At least 2 litres of water daily, more when taking fibre supplements
3. Regular physical activity - Movement supports healthy digestion
4. Eat mindfully - Chew thoroughly and eat at regular times
5. Include fermented foods - Yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut support gut bacteria
6. Manage stress - Stress affects digestion
7. Listen to your body - Don't ignore the urge for a bowel movement
8. Establish routine - Try to have bowel movements at consistent times

Several factors distinguish our Psyllium Husk Multi:

1. 11-ingredient blend - Comprehensive fibre sources, not just psyllium alone
2. High psyllium content - 500mg per capsule, a meaningful dose
3. Both fibre types - Soluble and insoluble fibres from diverse sources
4. Traditional botanicals - Rhubarb, prune, fig used traditionally for digestive support
5. Easy-to-take capsules - More convenient than mixing powders
6. Flexible dosing - 1-6 capsules daily based on individual needs
7. Vegan-friendly - Complete plant-based formula
8. Generous supply - 100 capsules allowing flexible dosing

Fibre is the indigestible part of plant foods. There are two main types:

Soluble Fibre (like psyllium, pectin, fenugreek):

• Dissolves in water to form a gel
• Helps soften stools
• Acts as prebiotic for gut bacteria

Insoluble Fibre (like wheat bran, some vegetable fibres):

• Doesn't dissolve in water
• Adds bulk to stools
• Speeds passage through digestive tract
• Promotes regularity

Our formula provides both types from multiple plant sources for comprehensive digestive support.

Fibre isn't just about regularity—it's fundamental to gut health. Soluble fibre acts as a prebiotic, feeding the beneficial bacteria in your colon.

A healthy gut microbiome depends on adequate fibre intake.

Generally compatible with:

• Probiotics
• Vitamins and minerals (but take medications 2 hours apart)
• Most other Vitadefence supplements

Take separately from:

• Medications (2-hour gap)
• Calcium or iron supplements (can reduce absorption)

If you're new to fibre supplementation:

Week 1: Start with 1 capsule once daily with plenty of water Week 2: Increase to 1 capsule twice daily if well-tolerated Week 3: Increase to 2 capsules twice daily if needed Week 4+: Adjust to your optimal dose (up to 2 capsules, 3 times daily)

This gradual approach allows your digestive system to adapt and minimizes potential bloating or gas.
