Tiens Double Fibre Digestive Cleanser is a source of both soluble and insoluble fibres that will help restore normal bowel movements and regularity. Living in the twenty first century, your diet has become more and more refined with a reduced intake of vegetal cellulose which may lead to a series of digestive disorders.

Fibre is found in the stems, seeds and leaves of plants. Fibre is basically made up of chains of sugar; however humans do not have the digestive enzymes necessary to break these chains down. In actual fact the bacteria that live in your digestive tract has enzymes which can break a small amount of fibre down though most is not broken down and is excreted from the body in faeces.

Fibre is a broad term that includes both soluble and insoluble fibres. Soluble fibre dissolves in water and can be broken down by bacterial enzymes, while insoluble fibre cannot.

Fibre prevents constipation. Constipation is a condition where bowel movements are hard and dry. Constipated individuals do not have at least one bowel movement every three days and have difficulty and pain when passing faeces out of the body. Adequate fibre, fluid and exercise help prevent constipation. Both soluble and insoluble fibres help the faeces stay moist because fibre attracts water.
