Quick answer: adults should aim for roughly 25–30 g of fibre per day; most people get barely half that. Fibre supports normal digestion and helps meals keep you fuller for longer — and because it hides in unglamorous foods, it is the nutrient most likely to be missing from an otherwise decent diet.
Why fibre quietly matters
Protein gets the headlines, but fibre does essential background work: it supports regular digestion, slows the absorption of a meal (steadier energy, fewer crashes) and adds bulk that contributes to satiety. When people say a diet “just isn't filling”, low fibre is a common culprit.
Where to find it in real food
Vegetables, fruit with the skin on, oats, beans, lentils and whole grains. A practical target: vegetables at both lunch and dinner, a fruit as one snack, and swap one refined grain for a whole one daily. Small consistent moves beat dramatic overhauls.
When a supplement helps
On busy days, hitting 25 g from food alone is genuinely hard — which is why Herbalife's Multifibre drink is included in the Basic Package, the Package XXX and the Total Package. One glass tops up your daily intake without changing anything else about your meals.
Frequently asked questions
Can I add fibre to my Formula 1 shake?
Yes — Multifibre mixes into water or your shake; a spoon of oats blended into Formula 1 works too.
Is more fibre always better?
No — increase gradually and drink plenty of water; a sudden jump can cause discomfort.
Does fibre help with weight management?
Fibre-rich meals tend to be more satiating, which makes a calorie-controlled plan easier to stick to.
