How to use

Florasophy can be a beneficial tool to help manage certain health conditions and proactively prevent others

The first step is selecting the right formula. Loosen Up is ideal for those struggling with constipation or who are psyllium intolerant. Firm Up's super absorptive formula was designed for people with loose stool. Daily Fix is ideal for everyone else looking to maximize the health benefits of soluble fiber!

Timing and serving size matter can make a difference, too. Read on to find out how you can personalize your Florasophy to support your health goals.

Improve my poops

Florasophy has been clinically proven to support fluid balance due to the absorptive and gelatinous nature of soluble fiber.

Timing: If you're experiencing trouble with your stool consistency or constipation, taking your Florasophy with meals is ideal.

Formula: Firm Up was developed specifically for IBS-Diarrhea, while Loosen Up was developed specifically for those experiencing constipation. For IBS-C/D both, Daily Fix is recommended.

Serving size: Serving size is custom to each user of Florasophy. However, the average size is 1 tablespoon/day. Note that it can be broken up into 2-3 different servings of 1 teaspoon. Florasophy works optimally when paired with a high fiber diet focused on soluble fiber sources.

Complementary dietary suggestions that can really help with constipation and diarrhea: avoidance of gluten and dairy, 80 oz of water and 1-2 servings of electrolytes per day.

Lower my cholesterol

Loads of research supports soluble fiber's ability to help lower cholesterol. By increasing soluble fiber, dietary cholesterol and bile can be removed from the body, reducing overall cholesterol levels.

Timing: To lower cholesterol, take your Florasophy with meals whenever possible.

Formula: All three of our formulas support cholesterol levels. Choose the one that matches your needs based on stool consistency.

Complementary dietary suggestions: high fiber and plant-focused diet.

Help manage my glucose and blood sugar

A high fiber diet with 25g soluble fiber and 25g insoluble fiber per day has been shown to improve glycemic control, decrease hyperinsulinemia, and lower plasma lipid concentrations in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Timing: Taking your Florasophy with meals helps to slow the release of glucose into your blood stream.

Formula: All three of our formulas support glucose management. Choose the one that matches your needs based on stool consistency.

Balance my hormones

Increasing soluble fiber can improve hormone symptoms in premenopausal women such as PMS, acne, water retention, and night sweats, possibly due to the same mechanisms that reduce breast cancer risk—consistent clearance of estrogens by binding and excreting estrogen-bile complex through the intestinal tract.

Timing: If you're experiencing trouble with your stool consistency or constipation, taking your Florasophy with meals is ideal.

Formula: All three of our formulas support hormone balance. Choose the one that matches your needs based on stool consistency.

Manage my weight

High soluble fiber diets have been shown to have positive effects on microbiota known to modulate metabolism. Research shows that an increase of 14g per day soluble fiber from diet or supplementation is associated with a 10% decrease in daily caloric consumption as well as weight loss.

Timing: Taking your Florasophy with meals is ideal for weight management for a few reasons: 1) it slows digestion so you feel fuller longer while also slowing blood sugar absorbtion so your glucose levels stay more consistent. 2) It helps to bind excess fat in your meal, removing it from your body instead of absorbing and using those calories.

Formula: All three of our formulas support weight loss. Choose the one that matches your needs based on stool consistency.

Help with my gallbladder conditions

Obesity, high fat, or high sugar diets and periods of life with high hormonal output increase risk of gallstones, gallbladder sludge and the resulting gallbladder attack. Research clearly shows that diets high in soluble fiber reduce the risk of these conditions by lowering the concentration of cholesterol and chenodeoxycholic acid.

Timing: To manage gallbladder conditions, take your Florasophy with meals whenever possible.

Formula: All three of our formulas support gallbladder conditions. Choose the one that matches your needs based on stool consistency.
