LACTIFIBER SYRUP 180M

About

Lactifiber Syrup is a specialized dietary fiber supplement, typically formulated with soluble and/or insoluble fibers such as ispaghula husk (psyllium) or methylcellulose. These fibers exert their therapeutic effect by absorbing significant amounts of water within the gastrointestinal tract, forming a viscous, gel-like mass. This process effectively increases stool bulk and softens its consistency, facilitating easier and more regular bowel movements, thereby providing effective relief and prevention for chronic constipation. Beyond its laxative properties, the soluble fiber components can also contribute to systemic health benefits, including the modulation of cholesterol levels and the stabilization of blood glucose, while also promoting a sense of satiety that may assist in weight management.
