About Fibre

Types of fibre

Traditionally the classification of fibre is seen as "Soluble" and "Insoluble" fibre. One dissolves in water, the other doesn't.

This classification is currently under criticism for missing out on some key components of how fibre actually works. Taking a look at fibre as "Fermentable", "Viscous" and "Insoluble" gives a better idea of how fibre actually works.

Fermentable fibre is food for your microbiome. Your gut bacteria eat this fibre, producing different components such as SCFAs (Short Chain Fatty Acids) which provide health benefits for your cells, your metabolism, and research suggests your brain and skin health.

Viscous fibre forms a thick gel. It slows down your digestion, lowering your postprandial (post meal) blood sugar. It can also lower your cholesterol by binding to bile acids, forcing your liver to pull cholesterol from your blood for energy.

Finally Insoluble fibre simply adds bulk to your stool. It increases speed at which your bowels move stool, keeping you regular on the toilet.

New reclassifications of fibre are being worked on till this day. You can read more about it here to see how researchers are redefining how fibre should actually be looked at: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0963996925001802

How much fibre should I be having a day?

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.

Why shouldn't I just take psyllium husk?

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.

What's the difference between resistant starch and regular starch?

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.

What's in the 'Essential Daily Fibre'?

With no added sugar, naturally sweetened, no fillers, and no added colours. This white blend contains the best fibre sources you can ask for.

Tapioca resistant starch: acts as an insoluble fibre, until it arrives in your large intestine, where it breaks down and gets fermented by your microbes, ensuring your gut bacteria is nourished, all the way through.

Soluble Corn Fibre: is a powerful ingredient that helps your gut thrive, and gently supports your toilet routine.

Sunfiber® PHGG: promotes a healthy digestive balance, without excess gas or bloating associated with (some) other fibres.

Actazin® Green Kiwifruit powder: aids digestion, bloating and abdominal discomfort, through a digestive enzyme, actadin. As a natural source of fibre, enzymes, polyphenols and minerals, which supports normal bowel function.

Flavour and sweetener: Fibes Co. uses natural stevia leaf extract, to provide natural sweetness, without adding significant calories, or other downsides. While our natural raspberry flavour provide the distinct, delicious taste, you'll love.

Where is it made?

Made in Australia!
Specifically in Melbourne.
We wanted to be sure of where we made our product, so we choose to make it locally so we can oversee our production and make sure we could deliver the best possible product available.

Why are there green bits in my pouch?

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.

How soon will I notice results?

Look, I'd like to say immediately, however that's not the case for everyone (although for some it is).
Digestion may feel gentler and more predictable within 1–2 weeks, with benefits accumulating over the first month of consistent, daily use, however results will vary between individuals.

How does it taste?

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.

Will it thicken if I leave it sitting?

Very, very slightly, and that’s a good thing! We use high-quality soluble fibre, which largely dissolve, but slightly absorb water. This is exactly what helps keep you feeling fuller for longer. We recommend drinking it soon after mixing for the best texture, however you may note a very slight bit of settling if you let it sit.

Is it going to make me bloated?

Honestly, it shouldn't, but it might, only at first though.
Think of this as "gym for your gut." Because each serve contains 10g of fibre (a third to a quarter of your daily fibre needs!), your microbiome might need a moment to wake up and adjust to the new fuel. If you are new to fibre, we recommend starting with half a serve for the first 3–5 days, then working your way up to a full table spoon once your system is humming along. If anything you may notice increased gas, however this will settle down once your stomach and bowels get used to it.

I already take Protein. Do I need this?

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.

Where is your nutrition label?

How do other people find it?

So far, pretty good. A short questionnaire done on some existing users showed around 97% of people actively taking it saw improvements in regularity, digestion or bowel movements. Depending on the individual, it may take longer or short to start to work, and the extent of the benefits will vary.

Tell me a little bit about Fibes.

Fibes is an Australian born and owned fibre focused company. We're aiming to fix the fibre deficit, and help people poop again.

Based in Sydney, and manufactured in Melbourne, this complex fibre blend was developed along side three high level food scientists, targeting a large portion of your digestive system with the fibre you're missing.

Pricing,

Price of Fibre

To better understand what you're paying for, breaking down the cost, makes it easier. Looking at it on a "per pouch", or "per tub" doesn't make sense when you start to look at how much fibre you're actually getting, and looking at the cost per gram of fibre, a lot more will be cleared up.

When you compare Fibes Co. (Which costs $0.18 per gram of fibre, or $56 per pouch), the results make a lot more sense. Fibes offers 4 premium, studied, fibre ingredients. This is significantly below other high quality options, while maintaining a good diversity of fibres.

For starters, greens powders, whose benefits largely come from increased fibre, cost between $1.20 to $2.33 per gram of fibre. A very high premium for low dose and low diversity.

Supermarket fibres often also come across as cheap and accessible, however, again, when you break it down to a cost per gram of fibre, they often come out between $0.35-0.85 for diverse fibre blends. Meanwhile cheaper supermarket options are generally single source, not offering the fibre diversity and at the high quality your system needs.

Fruits and vegetables: These offer many benefits, and whole food options should always be considered. However, when explicitly trying to increase your fibre intake, the price will rise quite quickly. For example, the highest fibre fruits, eg. passionfruit, raspberries, will cost around $3-4 per gram of fibre. For someone trying to explicitly increase their fibre intake, this may not be the most cost effective route.
