Welcome back, health enthusiasts! This week, it's about gut health and the microbiome. Your gut plays a crucial role in your overall well-being.
How does fibre contribute to overall digestive health?
The intestines hugely benefit from fibre. It’s their favourite food. Some doctors describe it that if you don’t feed it to them, they begin to feed on you and that’s not a good thing. Amongst other issues, it leads to leaky guts and inflammation.
Can fibre help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease?
Absolutely, n-fact clinical trials have clearly demonstrated how consuming enough of a certain type of fibre called Glucomannan can significantly lower your LDL cholesterol (sometimes called bad cholesterol – although we don’t believe that is entirely fair).
Are there different types of fibre, and do they have varying health benefits?
There are various types of fibre, but in the man they break down into two groups, both of which fulfil different roles in health. Soluble (which basically means the dissolve in liquid), are the stars of the show when it comes to weight loss.
Can fibre-rich foods help reduce the risk of certain cancers?
Yes!
Does fibre play a role in improving skin health?
The short answer is, yes it does.
What are some common misconceptions about fibre, and how can they be addressed?
Because they don’t have any energy; useable calories, they don’t serve a function. This is complete nonsense, it is a miss-belief that suits the ultra-processed food manufacturers, as they strip it out of food to drive up both shelf life and addiction.
Let's talk more about Fibrehydrate and Slimshotz....
What is Slimshotz and how does it work?
Slimshotz works by expanding up to 50 times in your stomach, which sets off your stretch receptors and sends the hormone 'leptin' up to the brain, which tells us we're full!
What is glucomannan, and how does it contribute to its effects?
Glucomannan, which is extracted from the root of the Konjac plant; sometimes referred to as Gluco-K. It’s one of the only few clinically proven ingredients to aid weight loss. In fact, it's the only ingredient to be officially recognised by the EU Commission which contributes towards helping us lose weight.
What is the recommended serving size and frequency for the Slimshotz?
Empty the Slimshotz sachet (4g) into a dry cup or glass. Add 150ml cold water (about the amount of a cup of tea). Stir continually, shake or blend (depending on your preference). Drink immediately. Repeat three times a day around 30 minutes before your meal or snack.
How quickly does Slimshotz expand in the stomach, and how long do its effects last?
It will expand fully within 30 minutes.
Are there any specific times of day when it's best to consume Slimshotz?
We recommend you take Slimshotz three times per day spaced out and 30 minutes before your meal or snack. One in the morning, one in the afternoon and one before your evening meal.
Can the Slimshotz be combined with other foods or beverages?
Absolutely. Lots of people add it to their smoothies or blend with other supplement drinks.
What makes Fibrehydrate different from traditional pasta?
Fibrehydrate has zero carbs. Yes, zero! For example, 100g of regular spaghetti contains 31.5g carbs and 141 calories, whereas our Fibrehyrate spaghetti contains 0g carbs and 6 calories.
What are the main ingredients in Fibrehydrate, and how do they contribute to its nutritional value?
Fibrehydrate is made from the konjac root, which contains glucomannan, a form of viscous fibre. The only ingredient to be officially recognised by the EU Commission which contributes towards helping us lose weight.

Because our Fibrehydrate contains zero carbs, this means your blood sugar will not spike when eaten.
How does Fibrehydrate taste compared to regular pasta, and can it be used in similar recipes?
Much quicker to cook (less than 2 minutes), absorbs more flavour and is carb free.
Are there any cooking tips or tricks specific to preparing Fibrehydrate?
You can fry it, boil, microwave it, almost cook it anyway you desire.
