Melrose Omega Fibre

Fibre helps food move through the bowel more easily and aids in the elimination of wastes including cholesterol and excess hormones.

A diet high in fibre may reduce the risk of colon cancer and may reduce blood cholesterol levels.

When the bowel and digestive system do not actively work it results in a reduction in the frequency of bowel movements. Treatment has traditionally been done with pharmaceutical laxatives which increase propulsive activity of the intestines by causing local irritation of the intestinal wall. This can lead to dependency as the muscles of the intestinal tract become lazy. Malabsorption can also occur as transit time is too quick for nutrients to be absorbed by the body.

Organic Choices
Melrose Omiga Fibre is based on Australian Organic Golden Flaxseed Meal, Licorice Root, Slippery Elm Bark Powder and Aloe Vera Juice Powder. Melrose Omega Fibre supports a gentle cleansing of the intestinal tract. It is WHEAT, GLUTEN, and PSYLLIUM FREE making it ideal for those with food allergies or the most sensitive intestinal tracts.

The Flaxseed Meal in Omega Fibre works in two ways:

1. The mucilage is an excellent bulking agent making the stools more voluminous providing mechanical stimulation of the bowel.
2. The oily constituents of FLAXSEEDS provide a lubricating action.

OMEGA FIBRE contains:

1. High levels of calcium, magnesium, phosphorous and potassium.
2. High levels of soluble fibre that is reported to help reduce blood cholesterol and incidence of colon cancer.
3. The highest dietary source of plant lignans that recent studies suggest may be anti-cancer agents.
4. Omega 3 fatty acid which has been shown to be beneficial in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and rheumatoid arthritis.
5. 5.18% essential amino acids and easily digestible protein.
