Fortify is an unflavoured fibre powder that mixes into water. One heaping scoop (about 8.9 g) combines 4 g of psyllium husk and 2.25 g of ground flax seed with 1 g of L-glutamine and five botanicals: deglycyrrhizinated licorice, marshmallow root, slippery elm bark, aloe vera and triphala. The 400 g tub holds about 45 scoops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is in it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach scoop has 25 Calories, 5 g of carbohydrate, 4 g of dietary fibre, under 1 g of sugars and 1 g of protein. Psyllium (Plantago ovata) husk is the main ingredient, followed by flax seed powder and free-form L-glutamine, an amino acid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe botanical part is 600 mg of deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) root extract, 400 mg of marshmallow root extract, 200 mg of slippery elm bark powder and 100 mg of inner-leaf aloe vera extract standardized to 10% polysaccharides. Triphala, a traditional Ayurvedic blend of three fruits (chebula and belleric myrobalan with amla), adds 90 mg. The only other ingredients are stevia leaf extract and ascorbyl palmitate. The full panel is under Ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA plain psyllium powder gives fibre and nothing else. G.I. Fortify uses psyllium as its base and adds flax, glutamine and the mucilage-rich herbs marshmallow, slippery elm and aloe, so it takes the place of several separate products in one scoop. It is sweetened only with stevia and contains no sugar, flavourings or colours. Like the rest of the Pure Encapsulations line, it is made without wheat, gluten, soy, dairy, eggs, nuts, GMOs or artificial additives, and the tub is marked vegetarian and vegan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to take it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdd 1 heaping scoop to 8 to 12 oz of water, shake, stir or blend briskly and drink it right away, before the psyllium thickens. Follow it with another 8 to 12 oz of water, and drink more water through the day while using it. Take it 1 to 3 times daily. The label states: \"Not to be taken by pregnant or lactating women.\" The full directions and cautions are under How to Take.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it suits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits adults who want a psyllium-based fibre drink with added herbs and glutamine in one product, and people who need a powder free of common allergens and artificial ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePure Encapsulations G.I.
