Fibre Ultra Rich Plantago + Inulin is enriched with hibiscus flowers, licorice root, and cloves, to help soothe as this excellent source of fibre gently relieves constipation. Psyllium husks are a bulk-forming laxative and are high in both fibre and mucilage.Recommended Dosage: Adults: 19 years old: Take 1 teaspoon twice daily. For each gram of psyllium, take with 30 ml of liquid (water, milk, fruit juice, or similar aqueous beverage). Drink immediately and maintain adequate fluid intake. Effects observed 1224 hours after the first dose; results may take 23 days. If you are taking other medications, take this product 2 hours before or after them. Avoid long-term use, and consult a health-care practitioner for use beyond 6 weeks. Also take 12 capsules of enteric-coated Acidophilus Ultra each day. Start progressively or as directed by your health-care practitioner. This Acidophilus Ultra capsule is protected by an enteric coating. The capsule must survive stomach acids and be delivered to the small intestine in order to work. The beneficial activity of acidophilus capsules without an enteric coating is destroyed in the stomach by stomach acids.Caution: Consult a health-care practitioner if symptoms worsen or if laxative effect does not occur within 7 days; if you experience chest pain, vomiting, or difficulty swallowing or breathing after taking the product.
