Unlocking the Power of Fibre
Fibre is not just a digestion aid. Fiber is much more than just that—it’s a plant-based food solution that is fast becoming one of the biggest nutritional “deficits” of the century. Lifestyles have changes and so too the fibre-rich content food sources with it.
Fibre is the part of plant foods that our bodies can’t digest, remaining intact as it travels through our digestive system, sweeping clean as it moves through the digestive tract. It seems so simple but if it is not in your diet you do need to supplement.
Types of Fibre
Soluble Fibre: This type dissolves in water, forming a gel-like substance in the gut. It plays a key role in regulating blood sugar levels, lowering cholesterol, and promoting feelings of fullness, thus aiding in weight management.

Insoluble Fibre: insoluble fiber adds bulk to stool and facilitates smooth digestion. It doesn’t dissolve in water and also acting sweeping clean efficiently moving food through the digestive tract.
Why is fibre so crucial for our health?
Digestive Health: Fibre ensures the smooth running of our digestive system, preventing constipation and promoting regularity.
Gut Health: Serving as a prebiotic, fibre nourishes the beneficial bacteria in our gut microbiome, which is essential for Immune function and overall well-being.
Heart Health: Soluble fibre can lower levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol, thereby reducing the risk of heart disease.
Weight Management: By keeping us feeling fuller for longer periods, fiber helps curb cravings and aids in weight management.
Blood Sugar Control: Fibre assists in regulating blood sugar levels, particularly beneficial for individuals with Diabetes or pre-Diabetes.
Prebiotic Fibre
Generally, “prebiotic fibre” refers to a fibre that’s a food source for the microorganisms in your gut. Microorganisms ferment it and use it as food, in the process creating short-chain fatty acids. These short-chain fatty acids can do things such as nourish colon cells and help produce mucus in your gut, which potentially protects against harmful compounds.
i.e. the use of Inulin in our Imsyser Supplement. Together with the fibre-rich psyllium husk and a 4-strain powdered pre&probiotic we have created a superfood for your gut microbiome, and you.
