FyboGel is an easy and effective way to increase your fibre intake in order to ease constipation. Using the active ingredient Ispaghula Husk, which helps the body ease constipation and return to its standard state.
How does FyboGel help with constipation?
The active ingredient in FyboGel is Ispaghula Husk. This is a natural ingredient that helps to relieve the effects of constipation. It does this by working to restore the amount of water in stools.
