Frequently Asked Questions About Opti Fibre
What is Opti Fibre made from?
Opti Fibre is a soluble fibre supplement made from partially hydrolysed guar gum, which comes from guar beans. It dissolves in food and drinks and can help increase your daily fibre intake.
How do you take Opti Fibre?
Mix Opti Fibre into a drink or soft food, following the directions on the pack. Stir it well so it dissolves, and do not exceed the recommended amount.
Does Opti Fibre help with constipation?
Yes, Opti Fibre can support normal bowel regularity by adding soluble fibre to your diet. It is not an instant laxative, so follow the pack directions and drink enough fluids.
Can you mix Opti Fibre into hot drinks?
Yes, Opti Fibre can be mixed into hot or cold drinks and foods. Stir it thoroughly into tea, coffee, or another drink to help it dissolve before consuming.
How long does Opti Fibre take to work?
Opti Fibre does not usually work like an immediate laxative, and the time to notice an effect varies. Use it as directed; if constipation persists, do not keep increasing the amount on your own.
Can you take Opti Fibre every day?
Yes, Opti Fibre can be used daily when you follow the instructions on its pack. If you are new to the supplement, begin with the recommended amount and pay attention to how you feel.
Does Opti Fibre cause bloating or gas?
Opti Fibre can cause gas or bloating in some people, particularly when fibre intake rises quickly. If this happens, reduce the amount and increase it more gradually while drinking enough fluids.
Does Opti Fibre have a taste?
Opti Fibre has little to no noticeable taste or smell, so it can be added to many drinks and foods without strongly changing their flavour. Stir it well after mixing.
Can you take Opti Fibre with medication?
The right timing can depend on the medication, so do not assume Opti Fibre should be taken at the same time. Ask your pharmacist or doctor how to space it from your regular medicines.
Can Opti Fibre help with IBS symptoms?
Opti Fibre may suit some people with IBS because it provides soluble fibre, but responses differ and it is not an IBS treatment. If you have IBS, ask a dietitian or doctor whether it fits your symptoms.

What is Opti Fibre?
Opti Fibre is a powdered soluble-fibre supplement designed to be stirred into drinks or mixed into food. Its neutral taste makes it easy to add to everyday meals without turning it into a distinct dish or strongly flavoured drink.
Mix it into water, tea, soup, porridge or yoghurt; it can subtly affect the texture, depending on what you add it to. A typical 5 g serving provides about 5 g of fibre. It can suit people looking for a convenient way to increase fibre intake; start with a small amount and drink enough fluids throughout the day.
