Frequently Asked Questions About OptiFibre
What is OptiFibre made from?
OptiFibre is a soluble-fibre supplement made with partially hydrolysed guar gum, a fibre derived from guar beans. It is intended to be mixed into drinks or foods rather than eaten as a standalone snack.
Can you mix OptiFibre into coffee?
Yes, OptiFibre can be mixed into hot or cold drinks, including coffee. Stir it in thoroughly and drink the coffee after mixing; follow the product directions for the amount to use.
When is the best time to take OptiFibre?
There is no special time of day required for OptiFibre. Choose a time that fits your routine and use it according to the package directions; it is a fibre supplement, not a fast-acting laxative.
Can you add OptiFibre to yoghurt or porridge?
Yes, OptiFibre can be stirred into soft foods such as yoghurt or porridge. Mix it in evenly before eating, and avoid adding more than the package directions recommend.
Does OptiFibre have a taste or change the texture of food?
OptiFibre is designed to have a neutral taste and mix into food or drinks without a strong flavour. Stir it thoroughly so it is evenly distributed, especially in thicker foods.
Can OptiFibre cause diarrhoea?
It can, particularly if you take more than directed or increase your fibre intake suddenly. Reduce the amount or stop using it if symptoms occur, and seek medical advice for persistent or severe diarrhoea.
Can you take OptiFibre every day?
Yes, OptiFibre can be used regularly when you follow its package directions. If you need it for ongoing bowel symptoms or your symptoms do not improve, ask a healthcare professional what is appropriate for you.
Does OptiFibre help with IBS symptoms?
OptiFibre may help some people with IBS-related bowel symptoms because it contains soluble fibre, but it is not an IBS treatment and results vary. Discuss its use with a clinician if you have persistent symptoms.
How should you store OptiFibre after opening?
Keep OptiFibre sealed and stored in a cool, dry place after opening. Prevent moisture from getting into the container, and follow any storage instructions printed on the product packaging.
Can OptiFibre be used for weight loss?
No, OptiFibre is not a weight-loss product. It provides soluble fibre, but taking it does not itself cause weight loss or replace an eating plan designed for that goal.
