Your Guide to Choosing a Fibre Supplement

What to look for in a fibre supplement

A good fibre supplement should provide a meaningful dose of both soluble and insoluble fibre. Soluble fibre — like the chicory inulin in FibreMaxx — acts as a prebiotic, feeding your beneficial gut bacteria and supporting your microbiome. Insoluble fibre adds bulk and helps keep your digestive system moving. Look for a supplement that provides both rather than relying on a single fibre source.

Beyond the fibre itself, consider what else the formula offers. Added digestive enzymes can help your body process the extra fibre more comfortably, reducing the bloating that puts many people off fibre supplements. Live cultures provide additional gut health support. These extras can make the difference between a fibre supplement you tolerate and one you actually enjoy taking.

Building a fibre habit that sticks

Start gradually — your gut needs time to adapt to a higher fibre intake. We recommend one serving a day for the first week, then building up to two servings daily once your body has adjusted. This steady approach avoids the temporary discomfort that can come from increasing fibre too quickly, and helps you build a sustainable habit.

Pair your fibre with plenty of water to help it work effectively. Many women find that taking their fibre at the same time each day — first thing in the morning, for example — makes it easier to stay consistent. At two servings a day, you are getting 12g of prebiotic fibre alongside live cultures and digestive enzymes — a meaningful contribution to your daily gut health.
