    What to know

    Psyllium and glucomannan are soluble fibres that form a gel with water. Psyllium has good evidence for constipation and for lowering LDL cholesterol when taken daily. Adults need 25 to 30 g of fibre a day, and capsules supply only a gram or two per serve, so powder is the practical choice for bigger amounts. Glucomannan swells a lot, so it must be taken with plenty of water.

    Who should check first

    • Trouble swallowing or a narrowed gut: do not take these. They can swell and cause a blockage.
    • Always take with a full glass of water: and drink more through the day.
    • Taking medication: fibre can slow absorption. Take medicines at least two hours apart.
    • Diabetes medicine: fibre can lower blood glucose after meals, so check with your doctor.
