How much fibre should I have a day?

The recommended daily intake for adults is generally between 30g and 38g of fibre. Most people fall significantly short of this, which is why a high-dose supplement like Fibes Co (10g of fibre per serving) is designed to bridge that gap.

How does the price of Fibes Co compare to other fibre supplements?

When comparing supplements by cost per gram of actual fibre, Fibes Co is highly competitive at $0.22 per gram for a 4-source premium blend. In comparison, greens powders often cost $1.20-$2.33 per gram of fibre, and even diverse supermarket blends can range from $0.35-$0.85 per gram. While single-source psyllium is cheaper, it lacks the diversity and quality required for optimal microbiome support.

Why choose Fibes Co over standard psyllium husk?

Most supermarket fibres are single-source, primarily used for bulking. Fibes Co is a multi-source blend of 4 studied ingredients—Sunfibre PHGG, Actazin Kiwi Fruit, Resistant Starch, and Soluble Corn Fibre. This blend supports both regularity and microbiome diversity without the chalky taste often associated with psyllium.

What does Fibes Co taste like?

Fibes Co is formulated to be delicious and easy to drink daily, with a natural, fruity raspberry flavour sweetened by stevia, but not to a bitter extent.

Will the drink thicken if left sitting?

Very slightly. We use high-quality soluble fibres that dissolve well but slightly absorb water to help keep you feeling fuller. We recommend drinking it soon after mixing for the best texture, though a small amount of settling is normal if left to sit.

Will Fibes Co make me feel bloated?

Fibes Co uses Low-FODMAP certified fibres like Sunfibre PHGG to minimize digestive distress. While some users may experience mild adjustments initially as they increase their fibre intake, we recommend starting with a half-serving for the first week to allow the digestive system to adapt comfortably.

FAQs

Depending on the individual, the recommended intake for dietary fibre can vary. Different sources suggest varying amounts too. Most settle on the 25-38 grams range. However this is the lower limit on what you should be getting. Aiming for 30-40 grams a day is ideal for long term digestive health.

One of the key ingredients we include is Actazin® Kiwi Fruit powder because it contains natural enzymes that gently support digestion and regularity without the harsh "urgency" of synthetic laxatives. It’s a whole-food approach to gut comfort.

You'll notice it has a slightly softer, less soluble texture. Which might result it in mixing less, however it ensures you get the full digestive benefit of natural kiwis, at a fraction of the cost.

We love psyllium husk, but for many people it's a nightmare.
Firstly, it tastes like ****.
Secondly, most supermarket fibres are "single-source," meaning they just do one job (usually just bulking). Fibes Co. is a multi-source blend. We use 4 amazing ingredient, to hit every angle of your bowels and gut health: regularity and microbiome feeding.

Short answer: Delicious.
We hated the artificial, sugary traditional fibre drinks, so we fixed it. Fibes Co. is designed to be smooth, refreshing, and grit free. It’s flavoured naturally with raspberries and sweetened just right; perfect to drink on its own with water or added to your morning smoothie.

Founders note: I chuck some ice in it, stir well and down it.

Of course. In fact, you probably need this more. While protein builds muscle, fibre maintains your insides. High-protein diets can sometimes slow down digestion; Fibes Co. ensures everything keeps moving smoothly. It’s the perfect partner to your protein shake.

Regular starch is quickly digested in the small intestine and converted into glucose for energy.
Resistant starch, however, "resists" digestion entirely, traveling to the large intestine where it acts as a prebiotic to fuel your beneficial gut bacteria. Essentially, while regular starch provides calories, resistant starch provides the essential fibre needed to support long term gut health and without a sugar spike.
