Fibre and Women’s Health

Daily fibre supports the body in countless ways, but it also offers unique benefits for women at every stage of life. From menstruation to pregnancy to menopause, fibre plays an important role in helping the body feel and function at its best.

Important Messages:

When we talk about the benefits of fibre for “women’s health”, we are referring to people who experience life phases such as menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause. Not everyone who identifies as a woman will go through these phases, and not everyone who experiences them identifies as a woman. Our goal is to highlight the ways fibre supports bodies through these stages, regardless of gender identity.
