Lepicol Original Formula Powder is used for healthy bowels. Fibre is a key part of our dietary intake to ensure we maintain a healthy bowel. Not eating enough fibre can lead to digestive problems such as constipation and other chronic digestive disorders.
What is Lepicol used for?
Lepicol Powder is a completely natural product formulated to regulate the bowels in a gentle, natural way. It contains three ingredients that are not absorbed by the body making Lepicol suitable for regular, everyday use. Lepicol is suitable for those with both sluggish and sensitive bowels and is ideal for those suffering from occasional constipation. Research indicates that soluble fibre such as fructo-oligosaccharides may play a key role in fat loss particularly visceral fat.
Directions: As a food supplement, take Lepicol at least 30 minutes before a meal. Shake before use.
- Adults: Take 1-2 heaped teaspoons (2.5 - 5g) mixed with water or juice once or twice daily and consume immediately. This should then be followed by a further glass of water. We recommend starting with a low dose and building up gradually to suit the individual.
- Children: Half the adult dose with parental supervision. Parents should seek the guidance of a medical practitioner before giving Lepicol to children under 11 years.
- Pregnancy: Lepicol is suitable for use during pregnancy, but we would always suggest consulting your doctor or healthcare practitioner before taking any food supplement.
- Please note: Taking Lepicol without water can cause choking. Always aim to consume a 250ml glass of liquid with every heaped teaspoon. Please consult your doctor before taking Lepicol if you have recently had intestinal surgery or you have an intestinal obstruction. If at any time you experience discomfort after taking Lepicol, reduce dosage or stop taking and seek medical advice. If you are taking any medications or have any medical conditions please consult your doctor before taking any food supplement.
