Complete Fibre Complex

Fibre is a crucial component of a healthy diet and plays an essential role in the health and integrity of the entire gastro-intestinal tract. Fibre is divided into two main categories insoluble fibre and soluble fibre. Insoluble fibre tends to absorb water and provide bulk in the intestinal tract. In addition these fibres such as plant cellulose undergo natural fermentation producing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) which are a key energy source for healthy intestinal cells. Soluble fibre such as pectin, mucilages and hemicelluloses are water soluble and have broader benefits as well as providing SCFAs i.e. heavy metal chelation, delay gastric emptying, binding of bile acids and steroids and cholesterol reduction.

LINSEED (FLAX) - Linseed is a rich source of lignan precursors, which is altered by the gut flora into the animal lignans enterolactone and enterodiol. These lignans exert important effects such as anti-cancer, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral. Flax seed is also a rich source of
