Psyllium Seed Husks – herbalists consider Psyllium to be one of the richest sources of dietary fibre available in any food. Apple Pectin – good source of soluble fibre. Anorak facts: We have several hundred different types of bacteria, weighing up to 2kg, resident in our intestinal tract, some live permanently in the gut while others pass through, servicing the system as they go. The speed at which foods are processed and passed out of the body as stool is pivotal; the quicker the process happens, the less time there is for putrification and undesirable bacterial growth in the intestines. Healthy digestion ad elimination of foods should ideally be complete within 24 hours. If there is an imbalance of bacteria or lack of dietary fibre, this transit time can increase 72 hours and beyond.
