Viridian Prebiotic Fibre Complex (90 Capsules)

Probiotics get all the limelight in gut conversations, but prebiotics are the half of the equation that actually feeds the bacteria you want to encourage. Viridian's Prebiotic Fibre Complex puts a sensible blend of prebiotic fibres into a daily capsule for anyone whose diet isn't already heavy on the right kinds of plant fibre.

What it is

A 90-capsule bottle of Viridian Prebiotic Fibre Complex. A blend of prebiotic fibres in Viridian's clean-label, vegan-friendly format. No artificial fillers, no genetically modified material, UK-made.

Why prebiotic fibre matters

Your gut bacteria are alive and they have to eat. What they eat is mostly the fibre that you don't fully digest in your small intestine. The kinds of fibres that gut bacteria thrive on are called prebiotic fibres. Common examples include inulin (from chicory root), fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), and various plant-derived non-starch polysaccharides. When your beneficial bacteria ferment these fibres in the large intestine, they produce short-chain fatty acids like butyrate that the cells lining your colon use as fuel.

Probiotics deliver bacteria. Prebiotics feed them. A sensible gut routine considers both. If you're taking a probiotic and your diet is light on plant fibre, a prebiotic supplement is the obvious next step.

Prebiotic fibres aren't currently covered by a specific authorised GB Nutrition and Health Claim, so we describe them as a daily fibre supplement to support the gut routine rather than a treatment for any specific condition.

Who it's for

Anyone whose diet is genuinely light on plant fibre and who knows it. Customers already taking a probiotic and wanting to feed it properly. Adults working on their gut routine as part of a wider plan. People whose nutritional therapist has recommended prebiotic fibres as part of a stool-test-led approach. People with active IBS or known FODMAP sensitivity should be cautious because prebiotic fibres can trigger symptoms - check with a practitioner first.

What's different about the Viridian version

Clean blend, fair doses, no synthetic fillers, no sweeteners or flavours. The 100% Active Ingredient policy applies. UK-made, vegan, clean.

Dosing and usage

Follow the label dose. Start low and build up gradually over a couple of weeks rather than jumping straight to a full daily, because fibre intake stepping up too quickly is a classic recipe for bloating. Take with plenty of water. Pair it with the dietary stuff that actually shifts gut health: more plant variety, less ultra-processed food, fermented foods if you tolerate them, decent hydration.

For a sensible gut routine, this works alongside a quality probiotic. Browse the Probiotics & Gut range or call the shop on 07711 393130 if you'd like a steer.
