Fibre for health.

Fibre is a key part of our dietary intake to ensure we maintain a healthy bowel. Not eating enough fibre can lead to digestive problems such as
constipation and other chronic digestive disorders.

Why Psyllium Husks?

Psyllium husks are known to maintain normal bowel transit by absorbing many times their weight as well as producing a viscous gel that ensures a smooth transit throughout the digestive tract.
Suitable for:
• Maintaining a healthy, regular bowel.
• Irritable bowel.

Store in a cool dry place - out of direct sunlight.
Does not need refrigeration.

Directions for use: For best results, take Psyllium husks at least 30 minutes away from food.
Adults: Take 1-2 (5-10g) heaped teaspoons mixed with a glass of water or juice once or twice daily and consume immediately. This should be followed by a further glass of water.
Children: Take 0.5-1 (2.5-5g) heaped teaspoons mixed with a glass of water or juice once or twice daily and consume immediately. Parents should seek the guidance of a medical practitioner before giving Psyllium husks to children under 11 years.
After two weeks, for some people, the amount of Psyllium husks taken daily can be reduced.

Please note: Taking Psyllium husks without water can cause choking. Always aim to consume 200 -250ml of liquid with every 5g (heaped teaspoon). Please consult your doctor before taking Lepicol if you have recently had intestinal surgery or you have an intestinal obstruction. If at any time you experience discomfort after taking Lepicol, stop taking and seek medical advice.
