Synopsis

The main active ingredient of the product is the shells of the seeds of the oval plantain.

The mechanism of action of Fibralax is simple: soluble dietary fiber, like a brush, “sweeps” from the intestine accumulated sediments, sorbs and removes “toxins”, toxins, excess sugar, cholesterol and salts of heavy metals.

The peculiarity of the action is that it does not irritate the receptors of the lining of the gastrointestinal tract, but increases intestinal motility by increasing the volume of fiber.
