OptiFibre
Laxative action
Rebalances gut flora
100% plant based
Dietary supplement for a specific medical purpose
250g

OptiFibre has a clinically proven double action on constipation:
1. Laxative action (1,4): softens the stools and increases the frequency of bowel movements. First effects felt in 48 to 72 hours (2) (May vary depending on individual sensitivity).
2. Rebalances gut flora due to its probiotic activity (3,4): aims to prevent future occurrences of constipation by increasing quantites of Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli.

OptiFibre has a fully natural mechanism of action, which works progressively on the body's natural functions through its unique 100% plant-based main ingredient: partially hydrolysed prebiotic guar fibre.
Free from gluten, lactose, added sugar, dyes, flavourings and preservatives.
OptiFibre is not addictive and does not build up tolerance, unlike other laxatives, and can therefore be used over a long or short period of time depending on your needs.
Suitable for pregnant or breast-feeding women (5), children over 3 years of age and elderly people.

OptiFibre is supplied as a powder. It is practical and easy to take on a daily basis.
