Strava Healthcare makes soluble dietary fibre sachets for nutraceutical brands, pharmaceutical companies, and institutional buyers. Soluble fibre dissolves in water to form a viscous gel in the gut. That gel is what drives most of the clinical effects: it slows gastric emptying, blunts post-meal glucose and insulin spikes, interrupts bile acid reabsorption to reduce LDL, and feeds the short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria in the colon. The mechanism is well understood and the evidence at least for psyllium, beta-glucan, and PHGG is solid.
We manufacture single-fibre and blended sachets, unflavoured and flavoured, for both therapeutic and wellness positioning.
Soluble Dietary Fibre is widely consumed to get relief from constipation and for good gut health. It is widely consumed in United Status of America, Canada, United Kingdom, Russia, Uzbekistan, Latvia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Nepal, Cambodia and Kenya.
Fibre Sources and Properties
- Psyllium husk: best evidence base for LDL reduction and bowel regularity
- PHGG: soluble, non-gelling, very well tolerated in the GI tract
- Inulin and FOS: prebiotic activity, feeds Bifidobacterium can cause gas in sensitive patients
- Beta-glucan (oat-derived): cholesterol-lowering evidence, FDA-qualified health claim
- Acacia fibre: minimal gas, suitable for sensitive patients
Applications
- Bowel regularity and constipation relief
- Blood glucose management post-meal spike reduction in type 2 diabetes
- LDL cholesterol reduction psyllium and beta-glucan both have meaningful trial data
- Prebiotic gut health and microbiome support
- Weight management satiety and reduced caloric density

Frequently Asked Questions
At least 200 to 300 mL per sachet, and the solution should be drunk immediately after mixing not left to sit and thicken. Psyllium in particular can swell and cause oesophageal obstruction if taken without enough liquid. This isn’t a theoretical risk; it’s happened. The instruction to drink additional water through the day matters too, especially for patients who are already not drinking enough.
Some types do. Inulin and FOS are rapidly fermented by gut bacteria and produce gas more noticeably in patients with IBS or bacterial overgrowth. PHGG and acacia fibre are much better tolerated by comparison. Starting at half the target dose and stepping up over a week or two reduces side effects across all fibre types. It’s worth building that titration instruction into the labelling rather than leaving patients to figure it out when they feel uncomfortable.
Yes. We formulate combination sachets with soluble fibre alongside electrolytes, vitamins, or prebiotic strains. Brands that want a broader gut health or metabolic product rather than a single-ingredient fibre supplement can develop custom blends. The formulation discussion is the right place to work through what combination makes sense for the market positioning.
