Description
HyFiber® — Liquid Soluble Fiber with Prebiotic Support
HyFiber® is a clear, ready-to-serve liquid fiber supplement designed to promote gentle regularity and softer stools—especially useful when traditional powders or laxatives are not well tolerated. With 12 grams of soluble fiber per serving plus a prebiotic (FOS), this product helps support digestive comfort, gut health, and bowel regularity without creating urgent, uncomfortable effects.
Key Features & Benefits
- 12 g of soluble dietary fiber per 30 mL (≈1-oz) serving — fills a nutritional gap and supports stool softening and regularity.
- Prebiotic fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) included — supports beneficial gut microbes and digestive health.
- Clear liquid, mild citrus flavor — easy to take, either directly or mixed into soft foods or beverages.
- Lactose-free, gluten-free and low in electrolytes — suitable for sensitive diets, fluid-restricted regimens, and use in clinical/long-term care settings.
- Gentle alternative to harsh laxatives — formulated to provide regularity without the urgent need to “go now” that can accompany laxative use.
How & When to Use
- Oral use: Take 1 packet (30 mL) up to three times daily (or as prescribed). This may be taken directly or added to a beverage or soft food.
- Tube feeding: Mix one packet with ~30 mL of water and administer slowly via syringe or appropriate feeding set; flush before and after use.
- Storage & shelf life: Store unopened at room temperature. Once opened, follow manufacturer’s instructions (e.g., discard after specified time).
- Important Note: This is a medical food for the dietary management of constipation, not intended as a sole source of nutrition. Use under medical or dietitian supervision.
Things to Consider
- Because HyFiber is a fiber supplement, ensure adequate hydration and follow fluid/fluid-restriction guidance as applicable.
- Although gentle, any fiber supplement may cause mild gastrointestinal changes (e.g., gas) as the gut adjusts—monitor tolerance accordingly.
- As a medical food, HyFiber is formulated for specific clinical use; if you're using it for general health, it may be helpful to consult a dietitian.
- Not for parenteral use (not to be administered intravenously).
Who Should Consider HyFiber®?
- HyFiber is particularly well suited for:
- Individuals with constipation or hard stools who want an alternative to laxatives or stool-softeners.
- Patients on fluid-restricted diets, or who have swallowing or mixing difficulties (since the liquid format simplifies administration).
- Long-term care or chronic settings where ease of administration, minimal side-effects, and reliable regularity are key.
- People seeking digestive support with fewer additives and simpler ingredients (no bulking powders, minimal flavoring).
