• I've tried Metamucil, psyllium, and supplements. Why would this be different? +

  Most fibre supplements are a single isolated fibre, often with sweeteners and fillers. Ryedical is the wholefood: both types of fibre, plus alkylresorcinols, plant lignans, tocotrienols, ferulic acid, naturally occurring phytase, and minerals, all in one ingredient. It works through your gut, not as a gel in your glass. People tell us the routine feels less like effort.

• Why is Ryedical more expensive than supermarket bran? +

  Supermarket bran is a by-product of flour milling, heat-processed for shelf life, with the compound profile largely cooked out. Ryedical is cold-processed as the primary product, under 45°C, to keep what the grain came with. A bundle works out to about $1.18 per serve. Less than a daily coffee.

• What about gluten and FODMAPs? +

  Ryedical contains gluten and is not suitable for people with coeliac disease. Rye also contains naturally occurring FODMAPs. If you have IBS or follow a low-FODMAP diet, introduce it slowly and notice how your body responds. If symptoms persist, speak with your GP or dietitian.

• What is Ryedical? +

  Ryedical is 100% rye bran — the outer layer of the rye grain, separated from the starchy centre and cold-processed at under 45°C. One ingredient. Nothing added. It is a wholefood, not a supplement.

• How do I use it? +

  Add one tablespoon (13g) to your smoothie, yoghurt, overnight oats, cold drinks, or any cold food you're already eating. Best used cold or at room temperature — not intended for cooking or baking. Mild, slightly nutty flavour.

• What does it taste like? +

  Mild and slightly nutty. It doesn't overpower whatever you add it to. In cold liquids it's barely detectable. In yoghurt or overnight oats it adds a subtle texture.

• How long does one pouch last? +

  Each 250g pouch contains approximately 19 serves at one tablespoon (13g) per serve. At the recommended 1.5–2 serves per day, a single pouch lasts 10–13 days. The 3-pouch bundle and monthly subscription are sized to cover roughly one month of daily use.

• Is Ryedical a supplement? +

  No. Ryedical is a wholefood — 100% rye bran, exactly as it comes from the grain. Nothing isolated, manufactured, or added. Most fibre supplements are derived from isolated fibre sources and may contain bulking agents, flavours, or sweeteners. Ryedical is the bran layer itself.

• What are alkylresorcinols? +

  Alkylresorcinols are naturally occurring plant compounds found primarily in the outer layers of wholegrain rye. They are specific to the bran layer — the part Ryedical is made from — and are found in a particular profile in rye that has attracted interest from researchers studying wholegrain nutrition.

• Does Ryedical contain gluten? +

  Yes. Rye bran contains gluten and is not suitable for people with coeliac disease or non-coeliac gluten sensitivity. If you have any dietary concerns, consult your healthcare professional before use.

• Can I pause or cancel Subscribe & Save? +

  Yes — anytime, from your customer account. No fees, no calls. If you cancel before your next charge date, you won't be billed again. Pouches already shipped are covered by the 30-day money-back guarantee.

• What if I don't like it? +
