A research publication

Not one EU country eats enough fiber. Here is what the research actually says.

An open research library built to answer the GLP-1 fiber question: what to take, how much, and when it actually helps. For the millions of Europeans on Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro who can't find a straight answer.

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. Nausea and low energy hit hardest; constipation follows.

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 daily supplement, for Europe, for GLP-1 users, with the evidence shown openly.
