Omega Fibre has a mucilaginous bulking agent, providing both soluble and insoluble fibre to aid regular bowel movement.
The flaxseed meal in Omega Fibre works in two ways:
- The mucilage is an excellent bulking agent making the stools more voluminous providing mechanical stimulation of the bowel,
- The oily constituent of flaxseeds provides a lubricating action.
Omega Fibre contains:
- high levels of calcium, magnesium, phosphorous and potassium.
- high levels of soluble fibre that is reported to help reduce blood cholesterol and the incidence of colon cancer.
- the highest dietary source of plant lignans that recent studies suggest may be anti-cancer agents.
- omega 3 fatty acid which has been shown to be beneficial in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and rheumatoid arthritis.
- Licorice Root: Glycyrrhizin, found in Licorice, and its derivative Glycyrrhetinic acid have anti-inflammatory and healing effects on already damaged intestinal mucosa, protecting the intestines from further damage.
- Slippery Elm: Slippery elm is produced from the bark of small elm trees Ulmus fulva and Ulmus rubra. The bark is mucilaginous and when consumed increases the flow of mucous along the gastrointestinal tract. Mucous provides a protective coating to irritated tissues.
- Aloe Vera: The Aloe Vera in Omega Fibre is produced from the gel by dessicant removal of moisture until reaching the dryness of a powder - a concentration of 200 times. On the addition of moisture the powder is reactivated into Aloe Vera juice with a concentration of 10% in Omega Fibre. The use of Aloe Vera has become of widespread interest supporting and maintaining overall activity levels.
