When our gut bacteria digest and ferment fibre, they produce anti-inflammatory substances, called Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs). SCFAs are fundamental to human health, and play an important role in immune health, metabolism, mental wellbeing, and keeping our gut lining healthy.
Increase your fibre intake with this one habit
Are you looking to improve your digestive and metabolic health to prevent problems in the long run?
Doctors say a high-fibre diet is the key to a healthy and long life.
But single fibre supplements, in the form of pills, don't contain nearly enough fibre to make a real change.
Here's how myota is proven to help power your gut microbiome.
A fibre supplement like no other

90% of adults don't eat enough fibre
While that may seem like an exaggeration, it is the reality for most of us.
Eating enough fibre every day isn't that easy – busy schedules, low energy, poor sleep, and too much stress means that we simply don’t have the time or energy to cook the right kinds of food.
And that's a shame, because some of the benefits of a high fibre diet are:
Reducing inflammation
Supporting digestion
Fibre absorbs water in our digestive tract, and improves the bulk (weight) and consistency of our stool. This is the main way that fibre works to keep us regular, and reduce common digestive symptoms like constipation, diarrhoea, and bloating.
Promoting metabolic benefits
Fibre is thickened in the gut (due to its ability to absorb water), and delays the emptying of the stomach contents. By slowing down the digestive process, fibre keeps us feeling full for longer, helps with weight management, reduces the absorption of cholesterol into the bloodstream, and helps to prevent blood sugar spikes.
Living longer and healthier
Increasing fibre by just 8g per day has been linked with a 19% lower risk of heart disease, 15% lower risk of type 2 diabetes, and 8% lower risk of colon cancer.
Getting our fibre intake exclusively from whole foods is ideal, but the latest figures show that the average person only gets about 18g of fibre each day.
30g of fibre per day is equivalent to:
🥕 5 servings of vegetables
🥭 2 pieces of fruit
🌾 3 servings of wholegrains
🥜 2 portions of nuts, seeds, or legumes
It’s hard to get enough fibre. This is why a fibre supplement can be of great help when it comes to hitting your 30g per day consistently. But how can you find the right fibre supplement for you?
Picking the right fibre supplement
Most people don't know that there are different types of fibres out there, such as:
🍏 The bulking fibres
🍌 Slowly fermented soluble fibres
🥬 Rapidly fermented soluble fibres
🍠 Thick (viscous) fibres
Many fibre supplements (think pill supplements) contain single fibres only. But why compromise when you can have it all? At myota, our microbiome scientists and dietetitians have developed a number of multi fibre blends that provide 1/3 (10g) of your daily fibre needs, in just one tablespoon.
Our fibre mixes are specifically designed to support immunity, metabolic health, mental wellbeing, digestive health, and gut microbiome diversity.
