Hyfiber Sachets- Mild Citrus - pack of 30ml- 20 sachets

HyFiber® is a high-concentration liquid fibre supplement classified as a food for special medical purposes (FSMP), formulated for the dietary management of bowel irregularity.

Each 30 ml sachet delivers ~12 g of soluble dietary fibre, primarily from polydextrose and fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), providing both bulk-forming and prebiotic effects.

It is supplied as a clear, water-thin liquid with mild citrus flavour, designed for easy oral intake or administration via enteral feeding tubes.

Indications

• Constipation and irregular bowel function
• Bowel transit disorders
• Patients requiring fibre supplementation with low fluid volume (e.g. elderly, dysphagia, fluid restriction)

Mechanism / functional profile

• Soluble fibre → water binding → stool softening and bulking
• Prebiotic FOS → supports beneficial gut microbiota
• Gradual, non-stimulant effect (no urgency or dependency typical of laxatives)

Key characteristics

• 12 g fibre per 30 ml (high density dose)
• Low viscosity, no gritty texture
• Lactose-free, gluten-free
• Suitable for oral or tube feeding use

Administration

• Typical starting dose: 30 ml once daily, titrated up (e.g. to 60 ml/day in divided doses) depending on response
• Can be taken directly or mixed with drinks/food

Safety / regulatory positioning

• Must be used under medical supervision
• Not a sole source of nutrition
• Introduce gradually to minimise bloating

Clinical positioning
HyFiber is positioned as a low-volume, high-potency fibre alternative to powders, particularly useful in:

• patients with poor oral intake
• enteral feeding regimens
• long-term bowel management where stimulant laxatives are undesirable

In practice, it sits between dietary fibre supplementation and medical bowel management, often reducing reliance on laxatives.
