How does it work?

The Flaxseed Meal in Omega Fibre works in two ways;
  1. The mucilage is an excellent bulking agent making the stools more voluminous providing mechanical stimulation of the bowel.
  2. The soluble fibre constituent of Flaxseed meal provides a lubricating action.

Flaxseed meal contains high levels of soluble fibre that is reported to help reduce blood cholesterol. Omega Fibre also contains Omega-3 fatty acids which have been shown to be beneficial in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease (1) and rheumatoid arthritis (2)

Licorice has an anti-inflammatory and healing effect on already damaged intestinal mucosa, protecting the intestines from further damage. When consumed, Slippery Elm increases the flow of mucous along the gastrointestinal tract. Mucous provides a protective coating to irritated tissues. The addition of Aloe Vera to Melrose Omega Fibre is for its use in protecting the digestive system by reducing intestinal inflammation.
