Fybogel Hi-Fibre Sachets are a clinically trusted natural fibre supplement formulated to relieve constipation, support bowel regularity and maintain healthy digestion. Customers looking to buy Fybogel online typically want a gentle, bulk-forming laxative that promotes natural movement of the bowel without harsh stimulants.

The Welzo Fybogel collection offers convenient, orange-flavoured and unflavoured sachets suitable for daily use.

What is Fybogel Hi-Fibre?

Fybogel Hi-Fibre is a bulk-forming laxative containing ispaghula husk (psyllium), a natural soluble fibre that absorbs water in the gut, forming a soft gel that eases stool passage. Unlike stimulant laxatives, Fybogel works with the body’s natural rhythm, making it suitable for long-term management of constipation, irritable bowel tendencies and digestive irregularity. Within the Welzo pharmacy range, Fybogel sits alongside other constipation treatments in our dedicated laxatives collection.

Why is Fybogel Important?

Constipation affects millions of adults and can impact comfort, appetite, sleep and daily performance. Low fibre intake, sedentary lifestyles, travel and certain medications can all slow bowel function. Fybogel provides natural, bulk-forming fibre that works with the digestive system instead of artificially stimulating it, making it suitable for people who need sustainable bowel support. Many customers also focus on broader digestive wellness through our curated gut health collection, which sits alongside Fybogel in the Welzo digestive category.

Empty one sachet into a glass and add a full glass of cold water.
Stir well until the granules are fully dispersed and drink immediately.
Typical dose: Once or twice daily, usually after meals, or as advised by a healthcare professional.
Hydration: Maintain adequate fluid intake throughout the day to allow fibre to work effectively.

Statistics, Research, Expert Information and Quotes

Most UK adults consume significantly less than the recommended 30g of dietary fibre per day, which is associated with increased risk of constipation and irregular bowel patterns. Soluble fibre such as ispaghula husk has been shown in clinical studies to improve stool frequency, soften stool consistency and reduce straining during bowel movements. As a bulk-forming agent, it is often preferred for longer-term management compared with stimulant laxatives, especially in sensitive individuals or those with chronic digestive issues.

“Bulk-forming fibre such as ispaghula husk is usually one of the first-line options for constipation because it supports the bowel’s natural function rather than forcing it to work harder. When combined with good hydration and diet, it can make a meaningful difference to comfort and regularity.”
— Dr Sameer Nakedar, MBBS, Clinical Lead at Welzo

In periods of illness, travel or heat, constipation may also coincide with fluid loss, which is why some customers consider products from our rehydration treatments range alongside bowel-regulating fibre.
