SoWell Fiber

GLP-1s cause slowed gastric emptying, which can be both a blessing and a curse. On the plus side—it’s one of the reasons you’re not as hungry on these medications. But you don’t want things to slow down too much, or you’ll suffer from uncomfortable side effects like bloating and constipation.

That’s where fiber comes in. Experts recommend increasing both fiber and water for anyone on a GLP-1 medication to help pass waste effectively and comfortably.

But that’s not the only reason fiber is excellent for GLP-1 users. Fiber has been shown in many studies to lower the risk of excess weight, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and/or heart disease. Which—aren’t these the reasons you’re on a GLP-1 in the first place? It’s a win-win.

If you’re thinking, “Oh, I’m probably eating enough fiber in my diet,” keep in mind that only 5% of Americans are meeting adequate intake levels of fiber to reap the benefits—and GLP-1 users need the right kind of fiber even more than most!

We created SoWell Fiber to make it easy for GLP-1 users to get the perfect type and amount of fiber they need to support healthy digestion on GLP-1 medications. Unlike other fiber powders, it’s made with three types of fiber—plus probiotics and magnesium glycinate—that work together to balance your gut and digestion. Our favorite part? The delicious, natural-tasting apple cinnamon flavor. (Don't knock it 'til you try it!).

The main difference between our fiber and others is that ours was designed specifically for GLP-1 users!

Because digestive issues are so common on these medications, GLP-1 users need a fiber that is gentle, yet effective, enough to be taken daily to prevent these issues. That's where SoWell Fiber comes in.

A lot! Our founder, Dr. Alexandra Sowa, has clinical experience working with GLP-1 users for a decade.

This product was created using her clinical experience and all available research on GLP-1 medications.

If you really want to nerd out, you can read some of the clinical papers that went into our research process here:

• “Populations that consume more dietary fiber have less chronic disease. Higher intakes of dietary fiber reduce the risk of developing several chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers, and have been associated with lower body weights. The Adequate Intake for fiber is 14 g total fiber per 1,000 kcal” “ only 5% of the population meet the Adequate Intake” Position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics: Health Implications of Dietary Fiber
• In summary, psyllium supplementation increased stool water and this was associated with significant changes in microbiota, most marked in constipated patients. The Effect of Psyllium Husk on Intestinal Microbiota in Constipated Patients and Healthy Controls
• “Psyllium has a significant effect in patients with metabolic syndrome and type-2 diabetes on glycemic control, while lowering serum cholesterol in hypercholesterolemic patients. Some randomized controlled studies have shown that psyllium also facilitates weight loss in overweight and obese participants.”“It also helps facilitate weight loss, a goal of many on GLP-1 medications. Psyllium is a natural nonfermented gel-forming fiber that is effective for weight loss: A comprehensive review and meta-analysis
• “The dietary intake of magnesium was inversely associated with the presence of chronic constipation defined by stool frequency in general population.”
  Association of dietary magnesium intake with chronic constipation among US adults: Evidence from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
• “Unless constipation is present, consider doses of 200 to 600 mg daily of forms of magnesium less likely to cause loose stools: magnesium glycinate (chelated magnesium),”
  Science Direct Magnesium Glycinate
• “Sporevia is a spore-former with a protective outer layer that survives processing and the path to the gut to support digestive health.”Kerry Sporevia® Probiotic

You can take SoWell Fiber anytime, but we recommend enjoying as an after-dinner treat. The magnesium glycinate in the blend has a relaxing effect, so it can help you wind down after a long day,

While this product is designed for GLP-1 users, it's clean, safe, and beneficial for everyone to enjoy!

It may be especially helpful for anyone who is trying to limit carbs and sugar, as well as anyone who wants to reap the long-term benefits of fiber: improved blood sugar, appetite control, cardiovascular health, and of course, healthy digestion.

Also, if you hate the taste of other fiber powders, you should give this one a try! (It's SO delicious.)
