SylliFlor Psyllium Husks Cocoa 250g | Natural Fibre Supplement Ireland | Chemco Pharmacy

SylliFlor Psyllium Husks Cocoa 250g — Natural Fibre with Cocoa Flavour

SylliFlor Psyllium Husks Cocoa is a natural dietary fibre supplement with a mild cocoa flavour — providing all the digestive health benefits of psyllium husk in a more enjoyable format for those who find the unflavoured version bland. Made from 100% natural psyllium husks (Plantago ovata), it is one of the most effective and well-researched sources of soluble fibre available in Ireland.

Psyllium husk absorbs water in the gut to form a soft, gel-like mass that bulks and softens stool, promotes bowel regularity and supports the gut microbiome as a prebiotic. Also available in Plain (unflavoured) and Vanilla format from Chemco Pharmacy.

• IBS management — soluble fibre helps regulate both constipation and loose stools in IBS
• Cholesterol support — soluble fibre contributes to normal blood cholesterol levels

How to Use

Mix the recommended serving (typically 1–2 teaspoons) with at least 200ml of water, milk or juice. Drink immediately before the mixture thickens. Follow with an additional glass of water. Take once or twice daily. Drink adequate fluid throughout the day — psyllium requires good hydration to work safely and effectively.

Food supplement. Not suitable for those with bowel obstruction or difficulty swallowing. Always drink sufficient fluid when using psyllium. If taking regular medication, take psyllium at a separate time (at least 1–2 hours apart) as it can affect drug absorption. If pregnant or breastfeeding, speak with your pharmacist or GP before use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between SylliFlor Cocoa and SylliFlor Plain?

Both contain identical psyllium husk and provide the same digestive health benefits. The only difference is flavour. SylliFlor Cocoa has a mild chocolate taste, making it more enjoyable to take daily for those who find plain psyllium bland or unappealing. SylliFlor Plain is unflavoured, making it versatile to mix with any drink or food without affecting taste. The choice is entirely a matter of personal preference.

How long does SylliFlor take to work?

Most people notice improved bowel regularity within 2–3 days of consistent daily use, provided adequate fluid intake is maintained. For those using it for cholesterol or blood sugar support, the benefit is cumulative — clinical evidence typically assesses improvement after 4–8 weeks of consistent daily supplementation.

Can I take SylliFlor with my medication?

Psyllium husk can reduce the absorption of some medications by forming a physical barrier in the gut. Always take your medication at least 1–2 hours before or after SylliFlor. This is especially important for thyroid medication, cholesterol-lowering drugs, diabetes medication and antiepileptics. Speak with your Chemco pharmacist for specific advice.

Why is SylliFlor recommended by Chemco Pharmacy?

Roisin Cahill MPSI, pharmacist at Chemco and co-founder of RoCa Healthcare, introduced SylliFlor to Ireland in 2018 after identifying a gap in quality psyllium husk products available to Irish patients. She has personally recommended it to thousands of her patients for IBS, constipation, cholesterol and gut health support. Read Roisin's full profile here.
