Essential Fibers, Acacia Fibers, L'Ami and Fresh Aloe Juice on special offer plus the Pépito notebook offered as a gift to write down our typical days, our starting state, our goals, our changes.
Essential Fiber – Its Claims: Used in Herbal Medicine as a bulking/mucilaginous laxative to gently relieve constipation and/or irregularity and to facilitate bowel movements (by increasing the volume and water content of the fecal mass).
Note: It is important to drink after taking the fiber to allow the gel to form. When starting out, you can start with half a spoonful.
What other properties does psyllium (Plantago ovata) have been researched?
- Relieves constipation
- May provide relief to some people with irritable bowel syndrome
- Prebiotics beneficial for the mucosa and intestinal health
- Lowers blood sugar after meals (in diabetics), bad cholesterol and increases good HDL
- Effect on cholesterol and lipids
- Higher dietary fiber intakes are significantly associated with a reduced risk of gallstones
- If there is bloating, an alternative is acacia fiber.
Acacia Fibers – Its claim : Source of fiber for the maintenance of good health.
A fiber that is well appreciated and recommended because for people who experience digestive difficulties, it does not swell much, it does not ferment, it is softening.
A study has shown that acacia gum has a high digestive tolerance. In conclusion, this study indicates that acacia gum is a prebiotic fiber. As with other soluble dietary fibers, it increases stool production by increasing stool water content. In addition, its intestinal tolerance appears excellent. Thanks to all these properties, it can improve well-being and intestinal health. 1
Note that by putting pure acacia fiber in water, the water will have almost no texture, will remain transparent, will taste nothing so much that we will have the impression of having nothing dissolved in it! However, at the intestinal level, it is a gum.
Regarding fibers...
- According to Dr. Layne Norton Ph.D. - one of the world's leading experts on nutrition, protein metabolism, muscle gain and fat loss - interviewed by neuroscientist David Huberman - for every 10-gram increase in fiber, there was a 10% reduction in mortality risk.
- A randomized controlled trial published in 2024 demonstrated that the gut microbiota may play a role in anabolic resistance of aged muscles and cognition. A daily fiber supplement has been shown to improve brain function in older adults in just 12 weeks. 2
- If or when you do have sugar, knowing you want to have as little as possible, here's an explanation from Dr. Mindy Pelz regarding fiber and sugar: "Always pair sugar with fiber. Let's take the example of a chocolate chip muffin with frosting on top; you eat that muffin and what happens inside your body is all of a sudden your pancreas starts producing insulin to the rescue. The reason you need insulin is because insulin will transport the sugar into the cells, which can then start using it for energy. Remember, any sugar that isn't transported into the cells will be stored as fat. When fiber is added, it acts like a net and slowly absorbs the influx of sugar, or glucose, into the system and blocks it, so less of that sugar seeps into the system." So, if your body registers less of a glucose response from a high-sugar food, it will have less of an insulin response. Something as simple as eating a salad with your muffin. Have the salad first, then the muffin, and you will slow down the insulin response. When you slow down the influx of sugar into the system and the insulin response, there is less glucose and insulin to store as fat, because they can all get into the cells to be used.

The Friend – Its claims: Facilitates bowel movements, short-term relief of occasional constipation, stimulant laxative.
If the movement is absent: the Friend, (Cascara Sagrada) if necessary.
Caution: you don't get used to it, you take it as needed to activate peristalsis.
Aloe Vera Juice – Its Claims: Used in herbal medicine as a demulcent to help relieve irritation and inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract.
The one we have chosen, although more expensive, comes from fresh juice obtained by cold extraction, a quality assurance, in order to preserve the active principles of aloe and not from aloe reduced to powder, as most manufacturers choose for reasons of economy, by a process of dehydration at high temperature which destroys its properties; powder which will then be diluted in water.
According to the cited references , aloe juice is recognized:
- To be a depurative drink used to cleanse the body and eliminate accumulated toxins and waste in order to help the organs regain their optimal functions.
- Facilitate digestion, with an action on the balance of intestinal flora, against constipation, or even against irritations and inflammations of the digestive system.
- It is even said to have an anti-fatigue effect.
- Aloe vera is said to contain many micronutrients, elements necessary for the proper functioning of the body, such as vitamins, amino acids, digestive enzymes, polysaccharides and minerals.
Your testimonials:
Chantal G .: At the end of 2020 I started having stomach pains and was in the hospital several times. I had several diagnoses from different doctors. They did tests, even a gastroscopy. They found absolutely nothing. The anti-acid medications didn't always work. So I decided to take charge of myself. I ordered aloe juice and fiber, ami and the complete (note that I have had Crohn's disease since I was 16). It helped me enormously. As soon as I was in pain, I would take a sip of aloe for 10 seconds and I would feel soothed. One day I met a nurse who took me seriously about my stomach aches (they told me I was too stressed). In short, she told me to try to stop eating all meat for 21 days. After only 10 days, I saw the difference. In short, I was no longer able to digest animal proteins. Thanks to the live, I learned that proteins were essential for good health. Given my lack of knowledge about how to eat vegetarian, I no longer had stomach pain, but I had no more energy. My other problem now was finding sources of protein. I tried some protein powders, but always the same stomach ache and discomfort. Luck smiled on me, Maison Jacynthe offers vanilla proteins. No stomach ache and what's more, I was less tired and more energetic. I took two scoops. Anyway, that's a big summary of my experience.
Véronique L .: For me, essential fibers were a revelation…. Big intestinal problem since July 2020. I could easily go to the bathroom more than 10 times a day… it was painful. I no longer left the house. Since last March, I've been living again. I can finally resume activities thanks to fibers 2x a day (morning and evening) accompanied by aloe juice, to calm the infernal noises coming from my stomach. I would have thought I was a sound artist from a horror movie. I can now reduce my fiber intake to 1x a day and aloe juice on occasion now. I'm delighted. It's a product I will never do without again.
Johanne P .: For me, the effect of the fibers and my friend, my stomach is deflated, makes a big difference.
Claire D .: It took my body two days to feel the benefits of the start of the detox. This morning I already feel lighter and less congested. I jumped into this adventure with both feet so I can find myself in April with more energy and less fog in my head. MJ, thank you for this wonderful adventure with extraordinary people.
Céline L .: For Fiber: I wouldn't do without it! It's one of the first MJ products I bought a few years ago and it greatly solved my constipation problems: phew, finally!! It's a daily essential!
Martine M .: I take the fibers on an empty stomach in the morning with water. I can't do without them for my stomach. It's a miracle, no more medication.
Nathalie N .: I started your essential fibers and aloe juice. I was suffering from constipation and digestive problems and I already saw a big difference after 3 days, incredible thank you MJ.
Renée B .: Diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in 1995, I no longer have pain or inflammation. This disease is a thing of the past. In the morning, essential fiber, the fountain of youth, and vanilla plant-based protein, sometimes a nice little muffin.
Sandra H .: For several years (about 8 years), I have had problems with regularity. I go to the bathroom several times a day, often 5 to 7 times a day. I started taking essential fiber on December 29th. I saw a difference immediately! Overnight, I went to the bathroom once a day, maximum 2!! I was hesitant because I thought fiber was only for constipation problems. What a good decision I made to try it!! Thank you Maison Jacynthe for all these beautiful life changes.
Léa M .: I started MJ fibers in 2018 with yellow juices after my first pregnancy in Paris, it changed everything. I needed to get my figure back, my energy, my sport. 6 years later, I continue like a ritual that is part of my daily life. Thank you Jacynthe, the adventure is worth it, there is everything that follows after.
Nancy P .: I've been using Ami for quite a while and it's very effective and gentle at the same time. I just ordered the fibers!
Kim B .: It's been 2 weeks since I started taking fiber and friend again and I started infrared saunas more regularly and wow, the energy is there and the inflammation from my rheumatoid arthritis is decreasing. Chocolate protein at breakfast allows me to get through the morning without cravings! Returning to work after a holiday break is going much better.
Marie-Andrée J .: I could never live without essential fiber (aloe, chlorophyll, apple juice) and friend... My gut is doing very well, it's a life-changing experience. Thank you MJ for sharing all your knowledge for our well-being.
Soledad D .: Testimonial on Essential Fibers: I had noisy bowel movements. It was uncomfortable at the office. Essential fibers solved this minor inconvenience.
Francine B .: I've been doing it since 2019 and it's fantastic. I've had arthritis for over 40 years and since then I've been treating myself with your products, it's 50% wow. The pain and my health have improved and the pain has decreased by 50% and more. It's fantastic. Change your diet and take care of your intestines and your health will improve by more than 50%, that's for sure. It's a way of life for life, Maison Jacynthe.
Danielle M .: Me too, fiber, aloe juice and fountain of youth have changed my health and my energy. Essential and I will never go back!! And the bulk is delicious!! First detox and I am happy to be so well supported with you!! Thank you
Marie-Chantal L .: For a week now I have started my fiber detox again and friend, my vanilla protein for lunch, I eat my wonderful salad at lunchtime, with a boiled egg, I drink my fountain of youth and the serum to drink, in the evening I eat blues zone. I have energy +++ I have my green tea magnesium supplements I do not do the detox exactly as you explain it so well but I watch you, I listen to you and I would like to follow it to the letter but for me it is satisfying I really feel the benefits. Thank you Maison Jacynthe. I can't do without salad anymore.
Martin A .: only good, essential fibers....we have a lighter stomach....katy
Johanne L .: Fiber is essential; I feel light, no bloating. Thank you for everything.
Marie B .: I cut out gluten 3 years ago, and dairy products almost 2 years ago. My gut was better for it, but some foods, like legumes, were still impossible for me to ingest. Stomach aches, bloating, it was atrocious even with small amounts. When detox came out, I took 2 bottles, and fiber every morning (I didn't take it regularly before), probiotics and a little glutamine. A while later, I tried legumes again, a small amount at a time. No problems...I just can't believe it! I've been eating them every day since and no problems! My health has improved again, my athletic performance too, and my grocery bill has gone down a bit...legumes cost nothing!!!! Thanks MJ!!!!
Vanessa S .: For me, fiber took away my bloating and my pantoprazole medication after just 1 week, and it's been going on for a year. I've been giving it to my 6-year-old son for almost a year, and he has much less constipation. Big changes for us here.
Caroline P .: A little (slightly embarrassing) testimony on Essential Fiber and Aloe Juice: I have suffered from IBS for over 30 years. My list of symptoms is long. One of them: (and sorry for the details!): never have 'formed' stools. For the past 3 days only: religiously in the morning 1 tbsp. of Fiber in a little cranberry juice and water, followed by a large glass of water (which I didn't do before), and then 1 tbsp. of aloe juice, and ALREADY I am starting to have formed stools! I am so encouraged for what comes next! Thank you MJ!
Marie Eve : Since I ended up in the emergency room for my first gastritis in life in 2022, my stomach has remained sensitive! There are many foods that previously did not burn, causing me discomfort. Since 2022, I have integrated aloe juice, considered one of the greatest natural anti-inflammatories and beneficial against acidity! It soothes me and above all I do not need to take medications that were prescribed for this purpose! I highly recommend aloe juice, at MJ, I do not have to worry about the purity of the aloe and no need to make it myself which is not an easy task! And that is precious! Aloe does not only soothe skin wounds, it soothes the fire in my stomach!
Sophie D .: For having tried the essential fibers of acacia.... more energy and my brain thanks me and my stomach too among others.......
Pascale D .: Just with lemon water, fiber, the fountain of youth and the protein shake, I lost 4 pounds in 5 days (probably water retention).
Jacynthe G .: If I had known about fiber before 2019, I would never have had surgery for hemorrhoids (due to severe constipation). Having surgery does not improve healthy bowel regularity. I have been taking fiber since 2020 and my daily life is going really well in that regard.
Sylvie L .: The essential fiber and aloe juice are fabulous for my bowel function.
Mireille L .: Fiber helped me greatly before the removal of my uterus, which was 5 times its normal size. This prevented my intestines from functioning properly. I would evacuate every 3 or 4 days. It was so uncomfortable. After surgery, fiber and Ami help regulate my entire digestive system, which has not functioned normally for several years. They are part of my daily life; I will never abandon them. Also, aloe juice, without forgetting it. Thank you so much, Jacynthe, for the nutritional education to improve our health and our quality of life, what a newfound happiness.
Philippe N .: Fiber, salad, whole grain, collagen: it's the foundation that changes everything! / Lasting change, that's exactly it! For almost 4 years I've changed my diet, added supplements and I wouldn't go back. It lasts over time and you feel good.
Sylvie P .: For me, the fibers solved my IBS.
Mélanie L .: Essential fibers are a must for me, I couldn't live without them.
Sonia E .: Since I've been taking fiber, I can eat everything...sometimes I'm surprised to see that I can eat foods that I couldn't eat before...e.g. peanut butter.
Pascale D .: Same here, with fiber, the fountain of youth and protein, I'm less hungry.
Valérie S .: I never thought I would really feel like I wasn't hungry because I'm always hungry, but with the fiber and protein I got ahead of the detox, I'm able to get through the morning before lunch before eating, yessss.
Chantal B .: Flat stomach, the sensation is so pleasant, impossible to stop taking it every morning to feel good.
Nathalie C .: Already after the first week of detox, I'm already less hungry for junk food. Yesterday my older kids came over for dinner, like many Sundays. They opted for La Belle Province...I had a salad with chicken breast, but I didn't feel like I was punishing myself!
Lise R .: I used to take 1 tsp of fiber in the morning, since I increased to 2 tsp with 1 glass of water, I no longer have gas, thank you Jacynthe.
Nathalie C .: I have irritable bowel syndrome and I had polyps. I've been taking essential fibers and friend for 7 days. I already feel a change in the pain and even in my skin.
Evelyne D .: I used to take psyllium from a health food company, but for over two years I've been taking the essential fibers, and they're gentler and more effective. I wouldn't do without them anymore. I highly recommend them.
Mireille L .: Salad was already part of my routine, but the fiber and protein made a big difference. I lost 20 pounds in 6 months, incredible.
Carole P .: I couldn't live without my fibers every morning, they follow me everywhere, all year round. What can I say about the fountain of youth, wonderful, I add my collagen and what a benefit.
Lucie A .: Thank you after 6 colonoscopies and 4 Imoride operations, I've been constipated all my life. Fiber and friend have changed my life. I take them every morning. Thank you. Thank you.
Marielle L .: After a few days with fiber, I realize that my entire digestive system works better and without discomfort.
Pascale D .: Fiber really makes a difference in the feeling of lightness and decongestion (water retention).
Sandra T .: I went to buy the fibers and the Aloe juice and the yellow juice and the first time I used it it worked. My stomach became comfortable and soft again. I had been having discomfort for a very long time. Thank you Jacinthe and I will follow your detox until the end. Because it works very well, I recommend it.
Celine L .: I started my detox on the morning of December 31st, goodbye to bloating with fiber, aloe juice and friend. My flavorless collagen that I can no longer do without on special is wow! My order is prepared at home Jacinthe Chicoutimi (4 bags) aloe juice, drinking serum and essential fiber so as not to miss out. Many thanks MJ.
