Lamberts Eliminex (Fructo-oligosaccharides), 500gm Powder

Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), a form of soluble fibre, is found in many vegetables such as chicory and onions. This natural compound can only be partially digested by humans with the undigested portion serving as a food for the 'friendly' bacteria, such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus species.

This prebiotic effect means that as the 'friendly' beneficial bacteria multiply, the harmful pathogenic bacteria and yeasts are suppressed, so fewer toxins are produced. This leads to better bowel tone, more regular movements and a reduction in digestive 'upsets'

It is suitable for all ages, including children and pregnant woman, as well as those on yeast-free diets and those on medication, and can be used on a long term basis.

(i) At low doses Eliminex® acts as a prebiotic (bowel-'conditioner')
(ii) At larger doses Eliminex® conditions the bowel and also helps maintain regularity.

Product Specifications

Dosage recommendations: Adults: To help maintain general bowel health and as a prebiotic: 5 to 10g daily. To help maintain regularity: 10 to 30g daily. (1 heaped teaspoon = 5g)

Dissolve in hot drinks or sprinkle onto cereal. Alternatively simply take it 'off the spoon'. Be sure to drink at least 2 litres of fluids a day

Caution: If any of these intake levels cause excessive flatulence then reduce the dose and gradually build up. The flatulence is a positive sign that Eliminex® has reached the bowel and is feeding your 'friendly' bacteria. As the bacteria consume Eliminex" a gas is produced which can lead to some flatulence at first, however, after a few days this will disappear as further 'friendly' bacteria develop and absorb the gases. For intakes over 10g (or 5g in children); dividing the intake into 2 daily doses, 1 at each end of the day, will help reduce flatulence. Eliminex* may cause temporary bloating. This is a short-term effect and once your system 'speeds up' the bloating will disappear. If bloating continues for more than 3 days then reduce the daily intake of Eliminex®.

Suitable for vegetarians.
