Soluble & Insoluble Fibre Complex Capsules Supplements Healthy Digestive System

Soluble & Insoluble Fibre Complex Capsules Healthy Digestive System

Keep Me Regular is more than just a High Fibre Supplement. Its a natural solution for body waste cleansing.

Containing 11 specially selected ingredients that will provide you with 513mg of dietary fibre per capsule, which is essential for maintaining a healthy digestive system, bowel regularity and digestive transit and is a key ingredient to a healthy, varied and balanced diet.

The combination of insoluble and soluble fibre is more than just roughage - it provides cellulose, pectin, hemicellulose, lignin and gums, which have been shown to have a beneficial effect on healthy digestive function, bowel regularity and cholesterol levels when taken as part of a low-fat diet.

Our High Fibre Capsules contains the following ingredients with health claims that are approved by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

Approved European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) health claims:

Sugar Beet Fibre (60 mg) Contributes to an increase in faecal bulk and normal bowel movements. It does this in two ways: 1) the insoluble components of the fibre increase faecal bulk by absorbing water in the large intestine, 2) while the soluble components are fermented by bacteria in the large intestine leading to an increase in bacterial mass. As such, this source of fibre may have a beneficial physiological effect for people who want to improve or maintain a normal bowel function.

Our High Fibre Supplement also contains 10 other carefully selected ingredients to Keep You Regular:

Psyllium husk (500 mg) Psyllium is a leafy-stemmed Eurasian plantain, the husks and seeds of which are used as a laxative and bulking agent in the treatment of constipation and, in some cases, obesity.

Psyllium is naturally rich in dietary fibre, providing the extra fibre that so many people need in order to maintain regular and healthy bowels. It provides a water absorbing / retention fibre, which gives bulk to stools by absorbing water - as much as 20 times its own weight. This gives the bowel wall something to work on and lets it push matter through smoothly and quickly via peristalsis. Fibre also stimulates natural bacteria in the bowel. When water is added to psyllium husks, a soft gel is formed, which helps the unwanted matter in the colon (constipation) to move through smoothly, with no straining or discomfort, known as colon cleansing.

Rhubarb (450 mg) Rhubarb is widely used as part of colon cleansing programmes, because it contains the following active ingredients: anthraquinones, emodin, tannins, flavonoids (including rutin) and several polyphenols. Rhubarb is a strong herbal laxative, astringent-bitter, gastric stimulant, anti-inflammatory, stomach tonic and antiseptic. It is also used for disorders of the liver, gallbladder and stomach.

Broccoli (75 mg) Broccoli is a rich source of carbohydrates, including dietary fibre. It therefore acts to support the digestive system, bowel regularity and stable blood sugar levels. It contains other essential nutrients like vitamin A, B vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, magnesium, calcium and diindolylmethane - a potent modulator of the innate immune response system with anti-viral and anti-bacterial activity. As a cruciferous vegetable, broccoli is also high in natural organic sulphur, which is needed by the liver to carry out its detoxification processes. Sulphur-containing amino acids (such as taurine and cysteine) are necessary for the production of bile. It is important not to have sluggish bile flow, because this is a major exit route for toxins that the liver has broken down.

Flaxseed (70 mg) Flaxseed is one of the best sources of omega 3 fatty acids, a type of “good fat” that is generally missing from the Western diet. These acids can help to lower high cholesterol and high blood pressure, reduce elevated triglyceride levels and help to prevent blood clots. They can also lower elevated blood levels of the protein homocysteine, believed to be a major risk factor for heart disease. Flaxseed is also a rich source of lignans, a type of fibre that is changed by friendly bacteria in the gut into compounds that help to fight against disease. Lignans also modulate hormone levels and relieve some of the symptoms often associated with menopause. Flaxseed contains a natural antioxidant, which is thought to help muscles recover more quickly and has an anti-inflammatory effect that can help to reduce muscle soreness.

Prune (50 mg) Prunes and their juice contain mild laxatives, including phenolic compounds and a number of different sugars like sucrose, fructose and sorbitol that help in drawing fluid into the intestines, thus helping the passage of waste out of the body. Research has shown that prune juice greatly helps in increasing 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 also contain high levels of antioxidants and dietary fibre (about 6% or 0.06g per gram of prune) and are therefore well-known for their contribution to the maintenance of a healthy bowel and alleviating constipation.

Fenugreek seed (40 mg) Is a bitter, medicinal herb that is loaded with antioxidants and has laxative and anti-parasitic effects. The seeds (Methi), in particular, are rich in lipids, protein, protease inhibitors, alkaloids, mucilaginous fibre, phosphorus, iron, calcium, niacin, vitamin C, selenium and various other nutrients.

Apple pectin (20 mg) Apples are a rich source of pectin - a naturally occurring carbohydrate. Pectin is particularly good at helping to lower blood cholesterol levels. The liver pumps excess cholesterol into the bile, which then enters the intestines. If pectin is present in the intestines, it will bind with the cholesterol and take it out of the body. Pectin also changes into galacturonic acid, which can combine with heavy metals (such as lead and mercury) and certain radioactive materials in the gut and take them out of the body. For people who are prone to constipation, pectin can provide a gentle form of fibre, which acts as a bulk laxative and mops up toxins that enter the intestines.

Fig fruit (20 mg) Figs are one of the highest plant sources of calcium, fibre, copper, manganese, magnesium, potassium and vitamin K. They also have smaller amounts of many other nutrients. Figs have a laxative effect and contain many antioxidants. They are a good source of flavonoids and polyphenols, including gallic acid, chlorogenic acid, syringic acid, (+)-catechin, (-)-epicatechin and rutin. Figs contain pectin and are a good source of the indigestible food fibre lignin, which retains water and helps bulk up the stool. 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.

Carrot (5 mg) The carrot gets its characteristic and bright orange colour from ß-carotene, which is metabolised into vitamin A in humans when bile salts are present in the intestines. Carrots are also 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. Carrots also contain lignin (which helps to strengthen the immune system) and folic acid (which helps to fight against harmful free radicals).

Fennel seed (5 mg) Fennel is a highly aromatic and flavourful herb. It contains anethole (a type of aromatic compound that occurs widely in natural essential oils). It also has carminative properties; in other words, it prevents the formation of gas in the gastrointestinal tract or facilitates the expulsion of that gas, thereby combating flatulence. It can also relax the intestines and reduce bloating caused by digestive disorders.
