Product description
Product Description
Lepicol is a three-in-one combination of gentle psyllium husk fibre supplement, live bacterial cultures and Inulin. The main fibre source within Lepicol is psyllium husk (plant ago ovata). psyllium Husks are a great fibre supplement as it is able to normalise stool size by being water retentive and, at the same time, forms a soft gel which eases the stool along the lower digestive tract ready for evacuation. Psyllium Husks have the advantage of being much gentler than some common fibre supplements (such as wheat or bran), many of which could irritate a sensitive bowel. Lepicol contains five strains of live bacteria. Your digestive tract is home to trillions of gut bacteria that aid in digestion, help prevent a pathogenic bacteria over-growth and have an impact on your immune system. Keeping a balanced gut microflora helps to ensure that the environment in your digestive tract is stable and goes a long way to aid in your health and well-being. Inulin is a fibre that is sourced from chicory root. Inulin is not broken down by the body, It is fermented by the live bacteria in the gut to support the growth of live bacteria. Available in 180 capsules.

I tried:
- Increasing water and fibre intake = Failed
- Senokot = Failed
- Senokot Max = Failed
- Supposities = Failed
- Fybogel Powder = Failed
- GP prescribed Laxido = Failed
This was over a matter of 3.5 weeks and I was becoming really bloated over time and uncomfortable, and made exercising really difficult as well as demotivating...I wasn't losing any weight as a result!
I came across Lepicol on Amazon and looking at the reviews, it was glowing with genuine 5 star ratings (Don't believe me? Check it out on fakespot.com)
I had nothing to lose and so ordered Lepicol in capsule form which would be more bearable than taking it in its powder form. At the moment I take 4 capsules in the morning before breakfast, and four more before my evening meal with plenty of juice too.
Half an hour after taking the first four capsules, my bloatedness started to disappear. On the second day of taking the capsules, in the afternoon I had the urge to go to the loo, and felt a sense of relief when I dropped a load after three long weeks of no movement inside of me. It was a proper healthy poo and never felt better. There is still some to come out, but the bloatedness is gone and I'm sure the rest of my bowls are being assisted to operating within normal parameters once again, all thanks to Lepicol!
I didn't have much hope in this stuff getting me sorted out, but after reading the glowing reviews about this stuff, I can really believe this has helped out lots of people with problematic bowels of all sorts.
--- Update 14/8/17----
I forgot to add into my original review above, for the past five years I had suffered from IBS-D on an on/off basis which was horrible and unpredictable (Fellow IBS sufferers, you know what I mean, eh?) I didn't buy Lepicol on the basis of treating my ISB problem, that was a golden unexpected bonus, but for the chronic constipation I endured earlier this year. Lepicol has actually resolved my IBS problem without me realising it! Gone! No more! Finished! I figure the strains of bacteria thats in Lepicol has re-balanced my gut flora etc and I have been feeling great ever since taking it. I only take Lepicol 4 x pills per day, twice a week at the moment and it truly has worked wonders. There was nothing worse than having to make an embarrassing emergency dash to the nearest loo, but that is in the past now. Lepicol has sorted out my long term IBS problem (which the GP prescibed & OTC meds could never resolve the underlying issue) but this has!
-------------
This truly is a blessing, and I will continue to take it to keep me regular and get back on track with my weight loss regime.
I wish Doctors would prescribe this as a medicine, or even tell their patients about this stuff. It works better than any medications they can prescribe at their office.
Oh and at the time of writing the price was £11.90. This is great Value for Money on Amazon! Other sites and sellers are a tad more expensive around £16 a tub.

It is the only product I have found (and I've tried an awful lot) that keeps me regular and does NOT give me any stomach pains. Which if you've tried every thing possible like me, you'll know some laxatives on the market can give you excruciating stabbing stomach pains. So that is a really important part of lepicol - how gentle but effective I've found it.
Every morning I drink one glass of fruit juice and 2 TSP of lepicol (continually stirring as I drink), followed by a glass of water.
I have to wait approx 45mins before I can eat any breakfast because it does make me feel very bloated.
I'm gonna be honest, it has a a bit of a strange taste but as long as you drink fruit juice with it you can't notice.
It can be time consuming sometimes but as long as you factor it in to your morning routine it's not too big of a deal. Honestly I'm prepared todo these things in order to be regular everyday and feel happy.
The price has slowly been increasing every year which is annoying (I remember when it used to be around £9.99) but what can you do.
I would highly recommend lepicol powder for anyone with sluggish bowel movements or constipation.
*If you're using it for the first time, it may make you windy at first, but if you Keep with it you will get results. sometimes I combine a morning colon massage before taking lepicol to help wake my body up too.*
I understand how frustrating it can be and to want an instant fix, but it's also important to be gentle on our bodies and not damage them with harsh laxatives (I've felt the intense pain). So it's worth the patience trust me.
On a side note I also use the lepicol capsules when I go on holiday, just because they're easier to transport and take when away.
I don't have critical bowel problems, so it's hard to justify buying this product on a regular basis at the price. My plan is just to take one sachet per week or per month depending on the need, so as to make the box last. I can also envisage the product being useful when traveling, as I tend not to drink much on long journeys, and then end up being prone to constipation for a few days after that. Worth at least trying if you are trying to find a natural digestion/bowel aid and haven't tried this yet.
