Fybogel consists of granules, and the granules have an active ingredient that is called ispaghula husk. Ispaghula husk is a kind of nonprescription medicine that is used as a laxative that is bulk-forming. Ispaghula husk is used to help relieve constipation, and can also be used for various bowel disorders. It can also be used to help maintain a bowel function that is normal.
Ispaghula husk is a fiber that swells up 3 times its own size when the husk mixes with any liquid inside in the gut. It then sweeps out the colon, helping to increase bowel movements within 42 hours. The husks are not ingested into the body itself, just moved through the digestive system and into the colon. The husks create stimulation in the colon, so that constipation is relieved.
Usually relief happens within 24 to 48 hours, but it can take up to 72 hours for someone to get any results. The husks can be used for the relief of constipation. Women who are pregnant can use the husk. Ispaghula husk helps to keep things moving in the colon as well. When things are moving properly in the colon, then it is easier to find relief without stressing or straining yourself, which can create complications in the long run. The husks can also be helpful in maintaining a healthy colon for the long term. Colon and bowl issues can be cleared up by using the husks.
Fybogel is a quick and easy way to increase the amount of fiber in your daily diet. It will help you to maintain regularity. It comes in a natural flavor, and also comes in tasty flavors of lemon and orange flavors.
In a glass add the husks and amount of water needed, stir and drink promptly. Leaving the husks sit in water will make it difficult to swallow, and could cause choking. Ispaghula husks can be taken before going to sleep and right after eating food.
Adults can drink one tablespoon with water two times per day, one in the morning and one in the evening. Kids over 12 years can drink one tablespoon two times per day as well, also morning and at night. Kids that are between the ages of 6 to 12 can take 1/2 tablespoon or less, and drink with water two times per day. Kids that are under six years old should be consulted with a physician before being given the husks.
