This exclusive blend of scientifically substantiated ingredients has been demonstrated to contribute to the reduction of body weight and aid the sustainability of weight loss by providing a healthy, hunger-free weight management system. iofibrewater, makes fibre and gut health simple and refreshing. Each 500 ml bottle of ió fibrewater provides 20%* of your recommended daily fibre intake and 100%* of your daily prebiotic fibre intake with minimal calories and carbohydrates, making us suitable for people on a variety of diets. ió fibrewater is a functional water infused with prebiotic fibre (aka prebiotics), which leads to sub-optimal gut health and often the onset of digestive disorders. By adding more prebiotic fibre to our diet, we can quickly change the environment in our gut for the better healthy living.
