Weight Loss & Appetite Control

Dietary fibres have many functions in the diet, one of which being to promote control of energy intake and reduce the risk of developing obesity.

Fibres aid early signalling of satiation and prolonged or enhanced sensation of satiety, along with nutrient density as well as binds with fats, thereby decreasing caloric absorption.

Each capsule providing 513mg of dietary fibre.

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

Always take with a minimum of 250ml of water.

Ideally take before an evening meal or split total intake over 2 meals.

Psyllium Husk

Psyllium is naturally rich in dietary fibre, providing the extra fibre many people need in order to maintain regular and healthy bowels.

The husks and seeds of psyllium are traditionally used as laxatives and bulking agents in the treatment of constipation and in some cases weight management.

A soluble fibre supporting colon cleansing it can absorb as much as 20x its own weight providing bulk to stools. When water is added to psyllium husks a soft gel is formed which helps waste in the colon (constipation) move smoothly and quickly via peristalsis.

Fibre also stimulates natural bacteria in the bowel.

Rhubarb

Rhubarb is one of the most ancient and important herbs in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).

Rhubarb is a strong herbal laxative with strong antibacterial activity.

The main medicinal effect of rhubarb on the gastrointestinal tract is to promote the digestion of residual food.

Its active ingredients, anthraquinones, emodin, tannins, flavonoids (including rutin) and polyphenols support colon cleansing with astringent-bitter, gastric stimulant, anti-inflammatory, stomach tonic and antiseptic properties.

Broccoli

Broccoli is a rich source of dietary fibre supporting the digestive system, bowel regularity and stable blood sugar levels.

Broccoli is rich in polyphenols and many biologically active compounds associated with a host of potential health benefits including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective and antimicrobial activity.

As a cruciferous vegetable broccoli is nutrient rich containing other essential nutrients like vitamin A, B vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, magnesium, calcium and diindolylmethane (DIM) – a potent modulator of the innate immune response system with anti-viral and anti-bacterial activity.

Broccoli is also high in natural organic sulphur, needed by the liver for detoxification and for the production of bile. Good bile flow is vital for the removal of toxins which have been broken down by the liver.

Flaxseed

Flaxseeds have been traditionally used for a variety of disorders that include stomach and intestinal complaints, such as constipation, diarrhoea and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with Hippocrates first writing about flaxseed being a laxative.

A number of more recent studies have investigated the health effects of flaxseed, particularly how flaxseed may affect heart and blood vessel diseases, type 2 diabetes, and menopausal symptoms.

The main bioactive compounds in flaxseed include Omega 3 fatty acid, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), lignans and fibre.

Lignans are a type of fibre that is changed by friendly bacteria in the gut into compounds that help to fight against disease. Lignans also influence hormones and may relieve some menopause symptoms.

Flaxseeds also have an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory effect.

Sugar Beet Fibre

Sugar beet combines soluble and insoluble fibre and supports regular bowel function. It has been scientifically proven to contribute to an increase in faecal bulk in two ways:

1) the insoluble fibre increases faecal bulk by absorbing water in the large intestine,

2) the soluble fibre is fermented by bacteria in the large intestine leading to an increase in bacterial mass.

Prunes

With high levels of dietary fibre and antioxidants, prunes are well known for their contribution to the maintenance of healthy bowels and alleviating constipation.

Prunes (and prune juice) contain mild laxatives, including phenolic compounds and various sugars including sucrose, fructose and sorbitol that help draw fluids into the intestines, helping the passage of waste.

Studies show that prune juice greatly increases the volume of fluid that remains in the waste passing through the intestine, while also causing contractions that aid bowel movement. Sorbitol, in particular, metabolises slowly to support healthy digestive processes.

Prunes have also shown promise for their beneficial effect on bone health in post menopause women and continue to be studied.

Fenugreek Seed

Fenugreek is considered as one of the oldest medicinal plants and its health-promoting effects have been cited in Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine.

Extensive preclinical and clinical research have outlined the pharmaceutical uses of fenugreek as antidiabetic, antihyperlipidemic, antiobesity, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antifungal, antibacterial, galactogogue and for miscellaneous pharmacological effects, including improving women’s health.

Now known to contain more than 100 phytochemicals including polysaccharides, polyphenols, saponins, alkaloids, phenolic acids, and flavonoids. Fenugreek extract and its bioactive compounds showed excellent antidiabetic activity and anti-obesity activity in animal and human study.

(1) Antioxidant rich this medicinal herb has laxative and anti-parasitic effects. It also soothes irritated tissues, reduces blood sugar, improves digestion and promotes healing.

(2) It stimulates the immune system and aids in removal of toxins from the body through the lymph nodes.

(3) The seeds (Methi) are rich in lipids, protein, protease inhibitors, alkaloids, mucilaginous fibre, phosphorus, iron, calcium, niacin, vitamin C, selenium and several other nutrients.

(4) It is also believed that the seeds reduce fatty tissues, thereby supporting natural weight loss.

Apple Pectin

Pectins have recently been classified as an emerging prebiotic.

Prebiotics are defined as indigestible food ingredients that beneficially affect health. Pectin increases beneficial colon microbiota populations in the gastrointestinal tract, increasing production levels of short chain fatty acids.

Pectins are also considered as a soluble dietary fibre with several beneficial gastrointestinal effects including the delay of gastrointestinal emptying, decreasing gastrointestinal transit time, reducing glucose absorption and increasing faecal mass.

(1) Pectin is particularly good at helping to lower blood cholesterol levels. The liver pumps excess cholesterol into the bile, which then enters the intestines. Pectin in the intestines will bind with the cholesterol and remove it from the body.

(2) Pectin has metal- binding capacity, (such as lead and mercury) and certain radioactive materials. Pectin binds metals in the digestive tract, preventing their absorption while facilitating their elimination from the body.

Prone to constipation, then pectin can provide a gentle form of fibre and acts as a bulk laxative and mopping up toxins in the intestines.

(3) Several studies have shown the positive effect of pectin in the reduction of blood glucose.

Fig fruit

In India, some Fig species are considered sacred, being referred to as India’s National Tree that signifies spiritual knowledge and eternal life.

(1) Figs have a laxative effect and contain many antioxidants. They are a rich source of  phytoconstituents including phenols, flavonoids, sterols, alkaloids, tannins, saponin and terpenoids.

(2) Figs contain pectin and are a good source of the indigestible fibre lignin, which retains water and helps bulk up the stool.

(3) Figs also contain ficin, a protein-breaking enzyme similar to papain in papaya and bromelain in pineapple. Together, pectin, lignin and ficin make figs a highly efficient laxative food.

(4) Figs are also one of the highest plant sources of calcium, fibre, copper, manganese, magnesium, potassium and vitamin K.

Carrot

Carrots are a multi-nutritional food source. Rich in natural bioactive compounds, recognised for their nutraceutical effects and health benefits.

With high dietary value carrots are one of most important vegetables in the world. Phytochemicals contribute to their dietary value, comprising 4 main types; phenolic compounds, carotenoids, polyacetylenes and Vitamin C.

Packed with nutrients, carrots are rich in dietary fibre, antioxidants, minerals, essential enzymes and vitamins, including vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin K, biotin, potassium and thiamine.

Rich in polyphenols, which have many favourable health impacts, particularly due to their antioxidant activity, such as anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and minimising the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

These compounds also contribute to the maintenance of normal blood glucose and cholesterol levels, as well as to the normal functioning of the nervous system.

Fennel seed

It has carminative properties helping relax the intestines and reduce bloating caused by digestive disorders, including combating flatulence by helping prevent gas formation in the gastrointestinal tract and facilitating the expulsion of gas.

Fennel as important medicinal plant with long history in womens health, including management of PMS symptoms and menopause symptoms.

Studies have shown a significant reduction in menopause symptoms severity (hot flash, night sweating, heart disease, insomnia, and musculoskeletal disorders) being observed after 8 weeks of fennel intervention.
