A superior source of dietary fibre
Boost your intake of dietary fibre with this unique blend of fenugreek (methi) seed extract and a gluten-free extract of wheat fibre.
Best for: Improving digestive health and/or aiding weight management.

Tip: When increasing dietary fibre, it’s best to increase your daily water intake as well.
1 box contains 60 servings (300 grams).
Dietary fibre can be included in a weight management programme to increase satiety and prevent overeating. For healthy digestion, we need two types of dietary fibre:
- Soluble fibre, which absorbs moisture and bulks up as it travels through our body. The soluble fibre in fenugreek (methi) seeds, called galactomannan, is remarkably soluble and becomes almost gel-like in the body. This thick fluid is excellent at slowing down our absorption of sugars and fats, reducing bad cholesterol and triglycerides, and feeding the good bacteria in our gut.
- Insoluble fibre, which helps food move through the digestive system and prevents constipation. Wheat is a great source of insoluble fibre.
The recommended daily amount of fibre is 25 grams for women and 39 grams for men. Most Indians don’t come close to consuming this amount.
How Nutrova Functional Fibre helps: its soluble fibre is from an extract of fenugreek (methi) seeds. It also contains a gluten-free wheat fibre extract as insoluble fibre. This unique blend improves digestive health and has been clinically proven to reduce triglycerides and improve cholesterol status.
- De-bitterised fenugreek (methi) galactomannan
- Gluten-free wheat fibre extract
- 63 subjects with elevated LDL (between 130-190 mg/dL) were given Nutrova Functional Fibre twice daily, 30 minutes before meals, for a period of 2 months. All subjects were either non-diabetic or recently diagnosed with type-2 diabetes.
- With no other changes made to their lifestyle, their LDL cholesterol reduced by 20% and triglycerides by 12%, while HDL (“good”) cholesterol remained unchanged.
We started recommending the [Nutrova Functional] Fibre supplement since November 2012, I think. And definitely, our clients have been getting better results including fiber in their diets. We do a body composition analysis periodically (ranging from once a week to once a month, depending on the client’s program), and also ask the clients to get blood work done to check for biochemical parameters. Using the fiber, members have got good results on both, the body composition and also blood reports. Fat percent has dropped, more importantly, the waist-hip ratio. Blood sugar levels have been stabilized and lipid profile has also improved. Regarding client feedback, they say their cravings have settled since starting the fiber, and their appetite has regularized, they feel hungry enough to eat on time, and don’t overeat at meal times.RENATA PAVREY

Is it safe?
Completely! It’s been formulated using natural extracts, with no added flavours, preservatives or colours. It has no side effects. A sudden increase in dietary fibre of any kind may cause mild flatulence, but this is temporary and can be entirely avoided by gradually increasing it, instead.
Is it similar to psyllium husk/Isabgol?
The soluble fibre in psyllium husk is structurally different from the soluble fibre in Nutrova Functional Fibre. Nutrova Functional Fibre contains pure fenugreek galactomannan, which has a unique linear structure that gives it higher solubility and enhanced prebiotic properties, promoting the growth of good bacteria in our gut.
