RELIEFIBRE ORGANIC 268G (TROPICAL)

Overview & Mechanism of Action

• Reliefibre Organic ($268\text{g}$ tropical-flavored powder container yielding approximately 53 servings) utilizes enzyme-hydrolyzed galactomannan soluble fiber derived from organic cluster beans (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba):
• Bowel Consistency Normalization (Water-Binding Dynamics): Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum ($\text{PHGG}$) absorbs fluid in the intestinal lumen to soften hard stools during constipation while simultaneously trapping excess free water to firm loose stools in diarrhea, restoring optimal stool transit time and consistency.
• Prebiotic Fermentation & SCFA Production: Slowly and completely fermented by colonic commensal bacteria (particularly Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli), producing short-chain fatty acids ($\text{SCFAs}$) such as butyrate, acetate, and propionate. These $\text{SCFAs}$ lower colonic $\text{pH}$, nourish colonocytes, promote gut mucosal barrier integrity, and reduce systemic low-grade inflammation.
• Low-FODMAP High-Tolerability Profile: Unlike psyllium or inulin, the slow fermentation kinetics of $\text{PHGG}$ minimize rapid gas release ($\text{CO}_2$ and $\text{H}_2$), preventing the abdominal distension, painful cramping, and flatulence commonly associated with high-fiber supplementation.

Clinical Indications & Uses

• Reliefibre Organic 268g (Tropical) is indicated for:
• Symptomatic management of Irritable Bowel Syndrome ($\text{IBS-C}$, $\text{IBS-D}$, and mixed $\text{IBS-M}$) and functional bowel disorders
• Relief of chronic or episodic constipation, gas-free stool softening, and promotion of daily gut regularity
• Prebiotic nourishment of beneficial colonic microflora and support for healthy postprandial blood glucose and lipid balance

Usage Guidance & Safety Precautions

Administration:

• Mix 1 scoop ($5\text{g}$) into $250\text{ ml}$ of water, juice, or smooth beverage, stir thoroughly, and drink. Can also be blended into smoothies or soft foods.

Recommended Dosage:

• Adults: Take 1 scoop ($5\text{g}$) daily. May increase to 1 scoop 2 times daily as directed by a healthcare professional. Ensure adequate fluid intake throughout the day.

Precautions & Warnings:

• For oral dietary consumption only. Maintain adequate systemic hydration when using fiber supplements to prevent intestinal discomfort or obstruction. If taking oral medications, separate administration by at least 2 hours, as soluble fiber may slightly delay the rate of gastric emptying and nutrient absorption. Consult a healthcare provider before use if you have severe swallowing difficulties or pre-existing bowel obstructions. Store below $25^\circ\text{C}$ in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct light. Keep tightly sealed and out of reach of children.
