Caroline's Latest Creation: Fiber Harmony® for Optimal Health
I’d like to introduce you to Fiber Harmony®, a heart-healthy, bulk fiber laxative that is packed with certified organically grown, superstar ingredients for enhancing digestive health. I developed Fiber Harmony® for Organic India using organically grown psyllium from India combined with 2 more organic power foods in the digestive health world: inulin & aloe vera.
You may not recognize the name psyllium though I bet you’ve taken it before. It is the husk of a seed that forms the basis for many bulk laxative products such as the well known Metamucil®. Most commercial bulk laxatives cut their psyllium with cheap dextrose by up to 50%! My philosophy is to add potent superstar ingredients that enhance digestive health to give you the maximum health benefits from your daily power drink.
Fiber Harmony’s organically grown inulin, a prebiotic that supports a healthy population of beneficial digestive flora, and super concentrated, organic aloe vera extract, known for its protective properties in the digestive tract, have scientifically proven health benefits that will help you restore and maintain your digestive health.
But why stop there? I added 2 more demulcent herbs, organically grown licorice root and marshmallow root, to create optimal soothing effects to help reduce inflammation in the digestive tract. Using dehydrated organic prunes for their gentle laxative effect, Fiber Harmony® brings you an unparalleled fiber drink with effective laxative action made with organically grown ingredients.
It all adds up to plenty of heart healthy fiber that helps sweep cholesterol out of your body with the action of a gentle bulk laxative that improves digestion and colon health. Of course, knowing my insistence for great flavor, I had to make it taste good too. Try any one of 3 different flavors: Orange, Peach and Chocolate. Orange and Peach are favorite morning flavors. Chocolate lets you stay guilt-free while drinking a delicious glass at night before going to bed knowing the health benefits of fiber, inulin and aloe vera are working for you all night long. I promise, you will be pleasantly surprised in the morning!

The Secret To Creating
Smooth Fiber Harmony® Drinks

Bonjour Primo
Latté Frother

It is all about blending. Take my advice: buy a hand held frother like the Bonjour Primo Latte Frother ($19.99) that we sell to froth milk for Teeccino. If you don’t already have one, now you have two reasons for having this versatile utensil in your kitchen!
Put 1 rounded tablespoon of Fiber Harmony® in an 8-10 oz glass. Add juice, water, milk or non dairy milk to the glass while “whizzing” the liquid and powder together with your hand held frother. Taste and decide if it is sweet enough. If not, add some Sweetleaf Stevia to sweeten a bit more.
Drink 1 glass at night and 1 in the morning. That gives you the recommended dose of 7 grams of psyllium fiber each day plus 1 gram of inulin and 150 mg of concentrated aloe vera extract 200 to 1! Look for the glistening organic aloe vera crystals in your Fiber Harmony®. Organic India has bought the finest aloe vera extract, trade marked ActivAloe®

Health Benefits from Fiber Harmony® Ingredients
Psyllium: The common name of this herb is plantain, a cousin of the well known roadside plant in the USA. Psyllium has a lubricating property that facilitates ease of elimination, gently cleansing the intestines while expelling any gas. The stool formed by psyllium is soft and easy to expel. Psyllium fiber can also help you feel full longer, which may reduce cravings for less healthy food options. It’s a good idea to drink another glass of water after your Fiber Harmony® drink to expand the psyllium husks further.
India is the largest grower of psyllium and there are many grades of it available. Organic India buys the purest psyllium husks available – 95%! Watch out for cheaper grades that may only be 50% pure.
Studies confirm the following health benefits from ingesting psyllium husks:
- Helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels by reducing low-density lipoproteins (LDL or the “bad” cholesterol) in the blood
- Increases stool weight and the number of bowel movements per day
- Shortens the gastrointestinal transit time
- May help reduce hemorrhoids and anal fissures
- May help regulate blood sugar in people who have type II diabetes.
Two servings per day of Fiber Harmony® provides you with 7g of soluble fiber from psyllium seed husk, which when included as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.
Aloe Vera: A large volume of scientific studies on aloe vera confirm that aloe has the following healthful properties:
- Helps to buffer the gastric Ph and restore alkalinity
- Soothes and protects the gastric lining
- Aids protein digestion and absorption
- Improves the function of good bacteria in the colon
- Promotes regularity
- Supports normal blood sugar regulation
- Stimulates the body’s detoxification reactions
- Helps to protect DNA and cell functions through its antioxidant benefits
- Reduces oxidative stress
- Promotes cardiovascular health
- Helps regulate immune system function
Two servings of Fiber Harmony® gives you the optimal daily dosage of 150 mg of aloe vera extract.
Inulin: A soluble fiber, extracted from chicory root or Jerusalem artichokes, inulin is a prebiotic that feeds the beneficial digestive flora in your intestines. In our ancestor’s hunting and gathering days, a normal consumption of inulin would have been around 15 grams but in today’s modern diet, we may only get around 2 grams at the most. Boosting inulin consumption, like you do when you drink Teeccino, helps improve the following:
- Supports a healthy population of beneficial lactobacillus and bifidus bacteria in the intestines
- Relieves constipation and promotes regularity
- Helps reduce cholesterol and triglycerides
- Increases mineral absorption such as calcium by up to 20%
- Decreases the incidence of acute gastrointestinal illnesses such as diarrhea and stomach upsets like vomiting
- By supporting Bifidobacteria in the colon, resistance to Salmonella and E. coli is increased
- May reduce the formation of pre-cancerous lesions in the colon
Two servings of Fiber Harmony® per day increases your daily intake of inulin to 2 grams – twice what the average American diet provides!
Marshmallow Root: Like psyllium, marshmallow root becomes mucilaginous in water and is soothing to the digestive tract. It can coat irritated mucous membranes, thus helping to relieve inflammations of the digestive tract.
Licorice Root: a naturally sweet root that has demulcent properties that also make it soothing to the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract.
