We recommend starting with a lower dose and gradually increasing to a full serving 1-2 times a day for best results.

Yes, but make sure to take the product a few hours before bed. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated through the night.

• Make sure you’re mixing each serving into a minimum of 12 ounces of water. Because psyllium husk is a soluble and insoluble fiber, it absorbs water as it moves through your digestive system. This creates a gel-like composition that helps sweep out the GI tract.
• As you enjoy your Fiber Rescue drink, stir occasionally. For best results, consume within 10 minutes.
• **Avoid vigorous shaking or mixing as this can increase water absorption causing the product to gel quickly.

Fiber Rescue can be used by both children and the elderly, but it's important to adjust the dosage based on their specific needs. Consult with a healthcare professional for appropriate dosing recommendations.

Results can vary from person to person, but many individuals experience relief from constipation within 12 to 72 hours of taking psyllium husk regularly. It's essential to be consistent with your daily intake for the best results.

Psyllium husk powder may interact with certain medications, potentially affecting their absorption. It's best to consult your healthcare provider before taking psyllium husk powder if you are on other medications or supplements.

Side effects may include bloating, gas, and abdominal discomfort. These symptoms can often be managed by starting with a lower dose and gradually increasing it. If you continue to experience symptoms, discontinue use. This could be an indication of an imbalance in your gut such as SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth). If you experience severe side effects or allergic reactions, discontinue use and seek medical attention.

Psyllium husk powder is a fine powder made from the seeds of the Plantago ovata plant. It is more finely ground compared to whole psyllium husk, which is coarser in texture. When made into a powder, psyllium husk can be easily mixed into a drink, offering all the great benefits of a prebiotic fiber.

Psyllium husk powder is rich in soluble fiber, which absorbs water and forms a gel-like substance in the digestive tract. This can help promote regular bowel movements, relieve constipation, and support overall digestive health.

Psyllium husk powder is known for several potential benefits, including:

• Relieving constipation and promoting regular bowel movements.
• Lowering cholesterol levels.
• Managing blood sugar levels.
• Supporting weight management by promoting a feeling of fullness.
• Improving overall gut health.

Psyllium husk powder is generally safe for most people when used as directed. However, it's essential to drink enough water when taking it to prevent potential issues like choking or intestinal blockages. If you have specific medical conditions or are taking medications, consult with your healthcare provider before using psyllium husk powder.

Psyllium husk powder can be a part of a weight management plan due to its ability to create a feeling of fullness. However, it should not be used as the sole method for weight loss.

Side effects may include bloating, gas, and abdominal discomfort. These symptoms can often be managed by starting with a lower dose and gradually increasing it. If you continue to experience symptoms, this could be an indication of an imbalance in your gut such as SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth). If you experience severe side effects or allergic reactions, discontinue use and seek medical attention.

Synbiotics may offer various potential benefits, including:

• Improved digestive health
• Stimulation of the growth and activity of beneficial gut bacteria, including Akkermansia
• Enhanced immune function
• Improved regularity of bowel movements
• Support of nutrient absorption and metabolism

The timeline for experiencing the effects of a synbiotic supplement can vary from person to person. Some individuals may notice improvements in digestive health within a few weeks, while others may take longer. Consistency in usage is key for long-term benefits.

You can take Synbiotic any time of day, with or without a meal, but we recommend taking with your first meal of the day as this can help protect the probiotics from stomach acid and improve their survival rate as they reach the intestines.

There is typically no major issue with taking synbiotics alongside most dietary supplements. However, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider to ensure there are no potential interactions with medications you are currently taking.

Synbiotic is free of all major allergens including gluten, dairy and soy. Synbiotic is also plant-based and vegan friendly. Please note: this product is manufactured in a facility that processes all major allergens. 

A synbiotic supplement is a combination of probiotics and prebiotics. Probiotics are beneficial live microorganisms that support gut health, while prebiotics are non-digestible fibers that serve as food for these probiotics. Synbiotics provide a synergistic effect by combining both components to promote a healthy gut microbiome. In addition to probiotics and prebiotics, our Synbiotic offers enhanced benefits through clinically proven postbiotics.

Synbiotic supplements can benefit individuals looking to support their overall gut health, alleviate digestive issues, boost their immune system, or maintain a balanced microbiome. It may be particularly helpful for those with gastrointestinal problems, a history of antibiotic use, or dietary imbalances.

Synbiotic supplements are generally safe for most people when used as directed. However, it's essential to follow the recommended dosage and consult with a healthcare provider if you have any underlying medical conditions or concerns about potential interactions with medications.

Common side effects may include mild gastrointestinal discomfort, such as bloating or gas, especially when starting a new supplement. These side effects usually subside as your body adjusts. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, consult with a healthcare professional.

PHGG (Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum)
Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum (PHGG) is a soluble, prebiotic dietary fiber that plays a few key roles in supporting different metabolic processes:

Prebiotic
PHGG promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria by serving as a substrate or food source for these microbes. When PHGG reaches the colon undigested, it undergoes fermentation by beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli. During fermentation, these bacteria break down PHGG into short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and other metabolites.

SCFA Production
PHGG undergoes fermentation by gut bacteria in the colon, leading to the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). These SCFAs, like butyrate, provide energy for colonocytes and create an acidic environment that favors the growth of beneficial bacteria while inhibiting the growth of harmful pathogens.

Anti-inflammatory Properties
SCFAs produced from the fermentation of PHGG have anti-inflammatory properties that help neutralize harmful free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS).Bio.me uses a PHGG fiber that is tasteless, colorless, and odorless, so it can easily be added to beverages and food. Because of the enzymatic pre-digestion, PHGG dissolves easily without the gumminess of many other fibers, and it causes far less gas and bloating than non-hydrolyzed guar gum.

No. It was very important to us to be free of the FDA’s Top 9 Allergens (milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, and sesame). We are also gluten-free, glyphosate residue free, Non-GMO Project Verified, and do not use any corn, soy, or grain derivatives.

Fiber is a normal and important part of a child’s diet. Introducing fiber gradually and choosing gentle sources can help support tolerance.

Some fibers can if introduced too quickly. Starting low and increasing slowly helps support comfort.

Many children can benefit from gentle fiber support. Parents should always consider their child’s age, diet, and individual needs.

Yes. PHGG has been investigated in dozens of pediatric research studies in controlled settings with consistent results showing it is well tolerated across a range of doses and that it supports digestive comfort and more regular bowel habits.

Consistency matters. Digestive benefits are most recognized with regular use and daily use is encouraged. Parents often describe more predictable bathroom habits, softer stool consistency, and a sense of digestive ease over time.

No, whole foods should remain an important and primary source of nutrients and naturally occurring fiber. PHGG can be used as an additional support when kids fall short on fiber intake and need a consistent daily routine.

We created two versions to match developmental needs. For kids age 1+, our Unflavored Daily Prebiotic Fiber contains only PHGG fiber. This keeps the ingredient list simple and makes it easy to mix into anything without changing taste. It has also been clinically studied for safety and benefits in 1 year olds. For kids ages 4+, we also offer naturally flavored options because kids at this age may prefer flavor variety. The core ingredient, PHGG, stays the same. The difference is simplicity for younger children and flavor choice for older kids.

Yes, Daily Prebiotic Fiber is certified Glyphosate Residue Free. Being certified Glyphosate Residue Free means ingredients within the product have been tested and shown to be safe from harmful pesticides, specifically glyphosate, a known microbiome disruptor.
