Description
Prebiotic fibre is not only good for the more obvious aspects of gut health – like regular bowel movement – but it also provides food for the beneficial bacteria in our gut microbiome – which have an impact on many aspects of our physical and emotional health and wellbeing (Dupont et al., 2020).
Wellosophy Prebiotic Fibre Drink is a convenient way to increase your intake of dietary fibre, including prebiotic fibre. The versatile powder can be mixed with liquids to make a drink, or added to food to increase its dietary fibre content. Clinical studies show that 5g of inulin and FOS a day have a beneficial prebiotic effect (Gibson et al., 2010).

How does prebiotic fibre support my overall health?
Prebiotics are a type of non-digestible fibre found in certain foods, which promote the growth and activity of gut bacteria that are beneficial to health. The fibre is fermented by the bacteria, to produce compounds, which are absorbed by the gut. These compounds nourish and balance the health of the gut itself and are also circulated around the body to the other organs. The impact these good bacteria have is not yet fully understood, but research has shown links to immune health, skin health, metabolism, emotional wellbeing and more (Scarpellini et al., 2021).
Are you getting enough dietary fibre from the food you eat?
Dietary fibre is the parts of plant-based foods that the body can’t digest or absorb. The recommended dietary fibre intake for adults is between 30-35g per day for men and 25-32g per day for women, but many people consume much less. Some dietary fibres – but not all – are classified as prebiotic, which means that they specifically feed the good bacteria in your gut. Common dietary sources of prebiotic fibre include onion, asparagus and banana (Gibson et al., 2010; Stephen et al., 2017). Wellosophy Prebiotic Fibre Drink contains two of the most researched prebiotic fibres: inulin, from chicory root, and FOS, from sugar beet.
