HyFiber® 887 ml (32 fl oz) is a high-concentration liquid soluble fibre supplement classified as a food for special medical purposes (FSMP), intended for the dietary management of constipation and bowel irregularity.
It contains a blend of polydextrose and fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), delivering approximately 12 g of soluble fibre per 30 ml serving.
The product is a clear, water-thin liquid with mild citrus flavour, designed for easy administration orally or via feeding tubes.

Clinical positioning
Compared with sachets, the 887 ml bottle is a cost-efficient bulk format for:
