GENTLE FIBRE & BOWEL SUPPORT
Softer bowel support for days that feel uncomfortable or heavy
Constipation, bloating and fear of straining can quietly increase pressure and anxiety throughout the day. Gentle bowel support is not about forcing large fibre changes suddenly — it is often about softer routines, hydration and gradually supporting easier bowel movements.
