Product Information

Full details

OptiFibre Tin is a gentle fibre supplement for adults and children over 3 needing to support digestive health and regular bowel function. Its key benefit is promoting gut regularity and nourishing beneficial gut bacteria using 100% partially hydrolysed guar gum. A potential caveat is that while generally well-tolerated, individual reactions can vary, and professional guidance is recommended for specific needs or prolonged use. This soluble fibre dissolves completely in liquids and soft foods without altering taste, making it an easy addition to daily routines for constipation relief, irregularity management, or simply increasing fibre intake.

FAQs

How much OptiFibre should I use?

Use the provided scoop to measure the desired amount. Typically, 1-2 scoops (as needed) are used 1-2 times daily. For specific dosage recommendations, especially for children or under medical advice, consult a healthcare professional.

Can OptiFibre be mixed with hot drinks?

Yes, OptiFibre dissolves completely in both hot and cold liquids. It is ideal for mixing into warm beverages like tea or coffee.

Is OptiFibre suitable for vegetarians/vegans?

The primary ingredient is partially hydrolysed guar gum, which is plant-derived. OptiFibre is generally considered suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets. Always check the packaging for the most current information.

What is the difference between OptiFibre tin and sachets?

The 250g tin offers a more economical and flexible option, allowing for precise, personalised dosing with the included scoop. Sachets provide pre-measured single servings, which can be convenient for travel.

How long does it take to see results?

Digestive responses vary by individual. Many users notice improvements in regularity within a few days to a week of consistent use. However, it's important to use it as directed and consult a healthcare professional if symptoms do not improve or worsen.

Can OptiFibre be taken with medication?

It is recommended to take OptiFibre at a different time than your medications to ensure optimal absorption of both. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for personalised advice.

Is OptiFibre safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women?

While generally safe, it is always best for pregnant or breastfeeding women to consult with their healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, including OptiFibre.

Troubleshooting

Powder not dissolving completely

Ensure thorough stirring. For very cold liquids, allow a few minutes for full dissolution. Avoid mixing in large, solid food items.

Experiencing mild gas or bloating

This can occur during the initial adjustment period. Start with a smaller dose and gradually increase, or ensure adequate fluid intake. If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare professional.

Taste or texture is noticeable

OptiFibre is designed to be flavourless and non-thickening. If a taste or texture is detected, ensure the product is fully dissolved and try mixing it with a more strongly flavoured beverage or food.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: OptiFibre requires no setup beyond opening the tin. Use the provided scoop to measure the desired amount of powder. Mix the powder thoroughly into a liquid (water, juice, tea) or soft food (yoghurt, soup, purée) until it is completely dissolved. It is best to stir until no trace of powder remains.

Compatibility: OptiFibre is compatible with most diets. It is free from gluten, lactose, sweeteners, and artificial colours or flavours. It can be mixed with both hot and cold preparations. However, always consult a healthcare professional if you have specific dietary restrictions or medical conditions.

Care: Store the OptiFibre tin in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the tin is securely resealed after each use to maintain freshness and prevent moisture absorption. The powder should be used by the expiry date indicated on the packaging.
