Fibre Supplements

It is the amount of fibre, in grams, that one serving declares. Check it against the serving size printed on the same label, because the same number of grams can come from very different servings.

A label that gives only the weight of an ingredient, such as "psyllium husk 610 mg", does not say how much fibre a serving contains. Without a fibre amount on the label, the price per 5 g of fibre cannot be worked out, so the product is left out.

Follow the serving size and mixing instructions on the label and drink the amount of water or other fluid it gives. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, take medicines or have a medical condition, check the label warnings or ask a doctor or pharmacist first.
