How should I start using this fiber blend if I am not used to fiber supplements? — Siberian Fiber with Milk Thistle 170g

If you are new to fiber supplements, the key is to start gently. Begin with a small amount — for example, a teaspoon — and mix it into a fermented milk drink such as yogurt or kefir, or into porridge or a cereal bowl. Stir well and let it sit for a few minutes so the bran and fruit pieces soften. This makes the blend easier to eat and helps you judge how your stomach responds.

Fiber absorbs water, so it is important to drink enough fluids throughout the day. Without adequate fluid, a sudden increase in fiber can feel heavy and may cause bloating or abdominal discomfort. Increase the amount gradually over a week or two, depending on your tolerance. There is no need to change your whole menu at once; this type of blend is designed to be added to meals you already eat.

The product contains wheat bran, dried apple, dried cranberry and milk thistle press cake. The fruit pieces add texture and make the blend more pleasant in yogurt, kefir or porridge. If you have a medical condition, take medication regularly, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a specialist before adding this to your routine. It is not a substitute for a balanced diet.
