Despite our best efforts, only 5% of Canadians get the recommended daily intake of fibre. Health Canada recommends a daily fibre intake of 28 grams per day for Women, and 35 grams for Men.
Adding a fibre supplement is a sure-fire way to make sure you're getting enough, but not all supplements are created equally. Let's compare NutraStat to some of the popular supplements on the market.
