Everyone's "fibremaxxing." Almost no one's doing it right.
Fibre is the gut-health obsession of the moment — and the science backs it, which is why dietary guidelines recommend 25–30g a day.2,4 But most of us don't get close, and the ones who try often ramp up too fast on a single harsh fibre and end up bloated, gassy and giving up.

All the upside of fibremaxxing. None of the chaos.
The experts agree: the fastest way to ruin a fibre habit is too much, too soon, from a single source. Belo does the opposite — a balanced spread of six gentle, low-FODMAP fibres released across your whole gut, so you can hit your fibre goals comfortably and actually stick with it.

Token doses
Many "gut" powders and greens sprinkle in barely a gram of fibre — not enough to do what the label implies. Belo serves 11g, at amounts research actually uses.
One harsh fibre
Single-fibre products (think inulin or chicory root) ferment fast and high, which is what leaves so many people bloated and windy.
High FODMAP
The most common prebiotic fibres are high FODMAP — the last thing a sensitive gut needs. Belo is formulated to be low FODMAP from the ground up.
One scoop. Three stages of your gut.
Your gut isn't one place — it's a long, changing environment, and different bacteria live along it. Most fibres only feed the very start. Belo's six fibres are chosen to ferment at different speeds, so they nourish your gut from top to bottom.
Fast-fermenting
Kicks in early, in the upper colon, to get fermentation going.
- Citrus pectin1rapid
Steady-fermenting
A gentle, gradual middle — fermented steadily, with little gas.
- PHGG (partially hydrolysed guar gum)2gradual
Slow-fermenting
Slowly fermented fibres that travel into the lower colon — the part most fibres never reach.
- Gum arabic (acacia)3slow
- Polydextrose4slow · distal
- Soluble corn fibre5slow
- Sodium alginate (from kelp)6viscous gel
Fermentation evidence
Fibres differ in solubility, viscosity and fermentability, which determines where and how fast they're used along the colon.7 On that basis: citrus pectin is rapidly fermented near the start of the colon;1 PHGG is gradually fermented and supports regularity;2 gum arabic/acacia,3 polydextrose4 and soluble corn fibre5 are slowly fermented, with polydextrose continuing into the distal colon; and sodium alginate is a viscous, gel-forming seaweed fibre.6

Real doses. No pixie dust.
We'll show you exactly what's in every scoop. The whole 12g serve is almost entirely fibre — nothing hidden behind a "proprietary blend."
| Ingredient | What it does | Per serve |
|---|---|---|
| Soluble corn fibre | A slow burner that feeds your gut deep down | 3.5g |
| Polydextrose | Travels furthest, feeding the lower gut | 1.5g |
| Gum arabic (acacia) | Easy-going and low-gas — barely a rumble | 3.0g |
| PHGG (Sunfiber-type) | The steady one that helps keep you regular | 2.5g |
| Sodium alginate · from kelp | Ocean fibre that turns into a soothing gel | 1.0g |
| Citrus pectin | A quick starter that gets things going | 0.5g |
| Silicon dioxide | Natural silica that keeps the powder clump-free | 0.01g |

Born below the surface
Belo began with the ocean — with sea moss and the mineral-rich botanicals that have nourished coastal diets for centuries. The sea is one of nature's gentlest sources of soothing, gel-forming fibre, and that heritage lives on in every scoop.
Our slow-stage fibre, sodium alginate, is drawn from brown seaweed (kelp) — the very fibre that gives kelp its smooth, slippery gel. It's the ocean's own way of working gently with your gut.
Good things take a few weeks. Worth it.
Stay regular
Dietary fibre contributes to regular laxation.
Feel lighter
A gentle, low-FODMAP way to support digestive comfort.
Feed your microbiome
Prebiotic fibres are food for your gut bacteria.†
Hit your fibre goal
11g of your 25–30g daily target in one scoop.
†"Contributes to regular laxation" is a pre-approved FSANZ general-level health claim (food must contain ≥2g fibre per serve; Belo has 11g).
One scoop. Stir it in or bake it in.
Belo thickens into a smooth gel, so it's happiest folded through food — and it holds up to baking heat, so you can boost the fibre in things the whole household eats.
Scoop
Stir one 12g scoop through yoghurt, a smoothie or porridge — or bake it into muffins, pancakes and bliss balls.
Let it thicken
Belo is unflavoured and hydrates into a smooth gel — that's the viscous fibres working. Folding it into food is the easiest, nicest way to take it.
Daily habit
Have it once a day. New to lots of fibre? Build up your dose gradually — here's the gentle way to do it.
The gel is the point
That smooth gel isn't a quirk — it's the work. Several of Belo's fibres are viscous — including kelp-derived alginate — soaking up water to form a soft gel (the same trick seaweed uses in the ocean) that slows digestion and can help you feel satisfyingly full and steady between meals.† One more way Belo works gently with your body.
Great guts aren't built in a day
Here's the bit most fibre brands skip. Flood your gut with fibre overnight and you overwhelm the very bacteria you're trying to feed — and that's where the bloating and gas come from. Start small and build up gradually, and you give your good bacteria the time they need to settle in, grow and thrive. Go gently, and your gut adapts comfortably.
Ease in and let your gut meet its new fibres.
Keep building gently as your gut adjusts.
Your everyday dose — 11g of fibre a day.
Listen to your body — if things feel uncomfortable, ease back and build up more slowly. Suggested guide only.
When to expect results
Your microbiome runs on its own timeline. Here's a realistic picture.
Weeks 1–2
Regularity often starts to shift. A short, mild adjustment period is normal as your gut adapts.
Around 4 weeks
Things tend to settle into a more comfortable, predictable rhythm.
8–12 weeks
Give it a full 3 months — the time your good bacteria need to truly establish and flourish.†
Why fibre diversity matters
Your gut is home to trillions of bacteria, and like any ecosystem it thrives on variety. Fibres differ in how they dissolve, thicken and ferment — some are used up quickly near the start of the colon, some slowly further down, and some are viscous, forming a gel that holds water as it travels.4,6 Feed your gut just one type and you feed only one neighbourhood.
Prebiotics feed your bugs
A prebiotic is a fibre that's selectively used by your gut microbes. It passes undigested to the colon, where bacteria ferment it.1,2
Fermentation makes SCFAs
Fermentation produces short-chain fatty acids such as butyrate — an energy source for the cells lining your gut, and a signal to the body.3
Speed & place matter
A fibre's solubility, viscosity and fermentability decide where and how fast it works — so a blend reaches more of the gut than one fibre can.4,2
Diversity feeds diversity
A more varied fibre intake is linked to a more diverse microbiome — and diversity is a hallmark of a resilient gut.5,4

Try Belo risk-free →Belo FAQ
Will this make me bloated?
Belo is formulated to be low FODMAP and blends six gentle fibres so fermentation is spread out rather than hitting all at once. If you're not used to much fibre, start with half a scoop and build up over a week or so — that's the single best way to stay comfortable.
What does "low FODMAP" actually mean?
FODMAPs are certain fermentable carbohydrates that can trigger symptoms in sensitive people. Belo is formulated to be low in them, which is why it suits people who find other fibres harsh.
When will I notice a difference?
Some people notice changes in regularity within the first week or two. But your gut bacteria take time to adapt and flourish, so we recommend giving Belo a consistent 3 months for the full picture — building up your dose gradually along the way. Consistency is what counts.
How do I take it?
One 12g scoop a day. Belo hydrates into a smooth, unflavoured gel, so it's best stirred through yoghurt, a smoothie or porridge rather than drunk on its own. You can also bake it into things like muffins, pancakes and oat slices.
Can I bake or cook with Belo?
Absolutely. The fibres hold up well to baking and cooking heat, so you can stir a scoop into batters, doughs and porridge — it adds fibre plus a little extra moisture and binding thanks to its gel-forming fibres. An easy way to get more fibre into food the whole household eats.
What are the ingredients?
Ingredients: Soluble corn fibre, polydextrose, gum arabic, partially hydrolysed guar gum (PHGG), sodium alginate, citrus pectin, silicon dioxide.
Each 12g serve gives you 11g of dietary fibre and just 24 calories, with no added sugar and 0g total sugars, 0g fat and 0g sodium. 28 serves per pack. Belo is vegan, gluten free and GMO free.
Is it suitable for everyone?
Belo is a food, not a medicine, and its ingredients are all widely used and recognised as safe. Just check the ingredient list if you have specific allergies.
Is Belo really "from the ocean"?
Belo's roots are in ocean botanicals like sea moss. In the blend itself, the ocean shows up as sodium alginate — a gentle, gel-forming fibre from brown seaweed (kelp). It's the seaweed fibre that does our slow-stage, gut-soothing work.
Where is Belo made?
Belo is an Australian-owned brand. Our fibre blend is manufactured overseas to our specification and third-party tested for quality.
