After successfully introducing the Benefiber syrup in Bahrain and the region, Novartis Consumer Health is now launching the new revolutionary fiber supplement in the form of powder to help with daily fiber requirements.
Benefiber Powder is now available not just in Bahrain but in all pharmacies in other markets such as Qatar, UAE and Oman.
Benefiber Powder is complimentary to a person’s lifestyle and can be used regularly by people who have a difficulty in obtaining the right amount of fiber daily. It can be added to anything that a person enjoys eating without changing its taste or texture. It dissolves completely in hot or cold beverages and also in soft, hot and cold foods. It is a safe and easy way to boost your fiber intake.
The American Heart Association advises to consume 25 to 30 grams of fibers out of fresh fruits and/or vegetables. In practice this means: have five to nine portions of fresh fruits or vegetables a day. But do we have that much on a daily basis?
“Most people are unaware of the importance and benefits of fiber in their diets, says Nihal Hakeem, Brand Manager for Benefiber. Eating a high fiber diet daily is difficult especially for those who are unable to eat balanced meals due to their high pace and busy lifestyle “,continues Nihal Hakeem, Brand Manager for Benefiber.
Nihal Hakeem continues to mention “Adding a fiber supplement such as Benefiber (syrup or powder) can ensure that you are getting adequate amounts of fiber especially if you find it difficult to get the right amounts from food alone. Benefiber Powder dissolves completely in hot or cold beverages and hot, cold and soft foods like pudding, yogurt or smoothies, with no taste and is grit free. It is also gluten and sugar free & made from 100% natural fiber “.
Benefiber has many healthy advantages. It reduces abdominal discomfort like pain, tension and flatulence, regulates and maintains a healthy bowel movement (both in the case of recurrent diarrhea or constipation), assists to relieve irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and maintains a good intestinal flora with no side effects of traditional fiber. The new fiber supplement is also suitable for pregnant women, children above the age of 7 and the elderly.
Nihal Hakeem, adds, “Dietary fiber constitutes an important part of a healthy diet. Concentrate on eating a variety of foods, such as fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains and take a fiber supplement to help you reach your daily fiber requirements.”
