Why clinicians prescribe it
Fixes the common complaint
Slowed digestion on a GLP-1 causes constipation in most members. This is the first thing we suggest.
Lowers LDL
A small but real cholesterol benefit that appears on your lipid panel.
Not a stimulant laxative
It works with your gut rather than forcing it, so it does not stop working over time.
Common questions
Stimulant laxatives lose effectiveness with regular use and can worsen the underlying problem. Fibre and water address the cause.
Important safety information
Always take with plenty of water, as inadequate fluid can cause choking or obstruction. Not for anyone with a history of bowel obstruction or difficulty swallowing. Separate from medications, since fibre can reduce their absorption.
