A research publication

Europe doesn't get enough fiber. We're fixing that.

An open research library on dietary fiber, GLP-1 medications, and what actually works. Built for the millions of Europeans on Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro who can't find a straight answer.

0 / 27 EU countries meet the EFSA 25 g/day target
5–24% Of GLP-1 users experience constipation

Position

The fiber gap is the largest unaddressed nutrition deficit in Europe. Not one country meets EFSA's 25 g/day recommendation. Average intake is 18 g.

GLP-1 medications make this gap worse. Appetite drops; food volume drops; fiber drops with it. Constipation follows in up to 24% of users.

The supplement aisle hasn't kept up. Most products are American formulations sold to a continent with different food, different microbiome, different regulation.

So we're building a fiber resource — and eventually a supplement — for Europe, for GLP-1 users, with the evidence shown openly.
