A broad-spectrum fibre mix with seven plant-based fibre sources — 200 grams of powder. Selected by Vitarium from the Natuurlijk.fit range.
Composition
| Ingredient | Source |
|---|---|
| Guar bean fibre | Cyamopsis tetragonoloba — soluble, fermentable |
| Apple fibre | Malus domestica — pectin + cellulose mix |
| Psyllium fibre | Plantago ovata — gel-forming, mechanical |
| Inulin fibre | Chicory (Cichorium intybus) — highly fermentable prebiotic |
| Acacia fibre | Acacia senegal — slowly fermentable prebiotic |
| Baobab fibre | Adansonia digitata — multi-component fibre + polyphenols |
| Glucomannan | Konjac (Amorphophallus konjac) — highly swelling |
The mix combines fibre types with different mechanisms of action: slowly fermentable (acacia), gel-forming (psyllium), highly fermentable (inulin), highly swelling (glucomannan). Thanks to this combination you get a broader fibre profile in a single formula than with a single-fibre product.
About dietary fibre
The guideline for adults is around 30 grams of dietary fibre a day; the average Dutch intake is about 20 grams. Fibre is found in vegetables, fruit, legumes, nuts and wholegrain products. This product supplements fibre from food; it does not replace it. A varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are important.
⚠ Important safety information
- Glucomannan swelling risk: in contact with water, glucomannan can swell to up to 50× its own volume. Always take with plenty of water — at least 250-300 ml per portion, and a second glass of water afterwards. In case of swallowing or oesophageal problems, do not use without medical advice (risk of obstruction).
- Inulin and a bloated feeling: inulin (and to a lesser extent other fermentable fibres) may cause gas formation and a bloated feeling in the first 1-2 weeks. Build up gradually for this reason
- Psyllium and medication timing: psyllium may slow down the absorption of medicines — leave at least 2 hours between taking the fibre and taking medication
- Do not use in case of obstructive bowel disorders or narrowing of the oesophagus
- During pregnancy: preferably consult your midwife first
- Do not exceed the recommended dose
Dosage
- Standard: 1 level teaspoon (~5 g) a day, mixed with plenty of water
- Mix from dry to wet: put the powder in a dry glass first, then slowly add water while stirring — this prevents lumps
- Drink a second glass of water after taking it
- Build up gradually (start with 2-3 g/day in week 1)
- Preferably not just before going to sleep
- Or as advised by your health professional
Suitable for
Vegetarians and vegans. Free from gluten, soya, lactose and animal products. The fibre raw materials are supplied from controlled cultivation.
Storage
Store dry and cool. Keep the packaging closed. Keep out of reach of children.
Vitarium therapeutic editorial
MultiFiber is a broad-spectrum fibre mix that combines several fibre types in one formula. The advantage of that: one product covers several mechanisms at once — fermentable prebiotic action via acacia and inulin, mechanical bowel action via psyllium, high swelling volume via glucomannan, polyphenols via baobab. The drawback: if you have a specific gut context (IBS, a sensitive gut), the inulin component can cause a bloated feeling that does not occur with a mono-acacia formula. If you are trying fibre supplementation for the first time: it is better to start with a mono formula (such as [Acacia fibre](/products/acacia-vezels-original-fiber)) — once that is well tolerated, you can switch to a broad-spectrum mix later. If you already have experience and want broader prebiotic coverage: this formula is a good fit.
This product is a food supplement. Do not exceed the recommended dose. A varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are important; a food supplement is not a substitute for these. Keep out of reach of young children. Always take fibre supplements with sufficient water. Consult an expert in case of pregnancy, lactation, medication use or illness.
