Fybogel Orange is gluten- and sugar-free in a natural orange flavoured base containing aspartame sweetener and β-carotene colour.
Clinical evidence increasingly supports the treatment of some pressure and motility disorders of the colon by a daily regimen of natural fibre. Daily Fybogel Orange therapy provides 7 g of natural fibre (with a capacity to retain 40 times its own weight of water), thus preventing increased colonic segmentation and thereby avoiding high intracolonic pressures as well as reducing transit time. High pressure straining episodes are also avoided as evacuation of the faeces is easily achieved.
Conditions requiring a high fibre regimen; adjunct in the treatment of haemorrhoids, irritable colon syndrome, diverticular disease and anal fissure.
