Daily Fiber 12 oz Powder Daily Fiber Formula is an ideal everyday fiber supplement, with a balance of essential soluble and insoluble fiber. Daily Fiber is a concentrated source of all 5 fiber types. Fiber is essential for normal regularity and digestive health, and has additional health benefits throughout the body. Soluble fiber helps to support the population of friendly bacteria in the colon, softens the stools, helps promote heart and cardiovascular health, and supports production of protective short-chain fatty acids in the colon. Insoluble fiber helps to absorb toxins and move waste material more quickly through the colon, removes excess bile acids, increases the bulk of stools and supports a normal, healthy lining of the intestinal tract.Suggested Use As a dietary supplement ADULTS AND CHILDREN OVER 12: 1 heaping teaspoon, one to three times a day. CHILDREN 6 - 12: 1 level teaspoon, one to three times a day. Start by taking 1 serving each day. Gradually increase to 3 servings per day if needed. Stir powder briskly into at least 8 ounces (a full glass) of liquid. Juice, water, soy or rice drink, and milk are all good with Daily Fiber Formula. For easiest mixing, shake in a closed jar. Drink immediately. If product is too thick when consuming, add more liquid and stir. Drinking additional liquid is helpful. If minor gas or bloating occurs, reduce the amount you take until your system adjusts. - Or as directed by your healthcare professional.hr { background-color:#000;margin:0px; }Supplement FactsServing Size: 7 Grams Amount Per Serving

Favorite fiber supplement (former biochemist review)Feb 01, 2007
By Patrick D. Goonan
"see profile for URL"
There are a lot of fiber supplements on the market and I've tried a bunch of them. When I had a problems with ulcerative colitis, this is the one I settled on after doing a fair amount of research. It also agreed most with my body and hide the ideal ratio of soluble and insoluble fiber.
As a former biochemist and physiology teaching fellow, I appreciate the benefits of having the appropriate amount of fiber. Some of these benefits include lower cholesterol and less colon cancer risk. Not to mention, preventing the formation of hemorrhoids or helping with the symptoms of them.
While it is true there are other fiber supplements such as Citrucel that taste better and may not cause gas, the natural products may help in the formation of helpful bacterial cultures and as the flora of the gut shifts, the gas may be inconvenient, but ultimately beneficial. Also, you can usually avoid these problems by ramping up the amount slowly.
As with ALL fiber supplements it is important to consult your physician or other health care provider. However, I have gotten good results with this product and it is relatively inexpensive. I believe it helped me get rid of my ulcerative colitis and reduce my cholesterol.
Lastly, I don't recommend the similar product by Yerba Prima that contains calcium. This tastes awful and will be difficult to keep up with for most people because of this. Instead I would supplement calcium separately. The ideal formulation that according to some research helps prevent colon cancer is calcium carbonate with Vitamin D added to improve absorbtion. This can cause constipation in some people and again, you will want to talk to your doctor before you take any supplements. An alternative to calcium carbonate is calcium citrate which is absorbed more readily and you can take it without Vitamin D and still get good absorbtion. However, you will have to swallow more pills.
If you absolutely must have a fiber supplement that tastes good, you might want to try Citrucel instead. It tastes a lot like Orange Tang and many physicians enthusiastically endorse it for patients who require or would benefit from a fiber supplement.

Best fiber choiceOct 01, 2009
By Retired Scientist Our family finds this product to be the very best for "regularity" and getting enough fiber in the diet. It does not seem to cause gas or bloating like many other products can (bran cereal, metamucil) and is not as slimy as some. We favor it shaken up with some orange juice. We prefer the unflavored version to the similar product with orange flavoring.
I think that it does a better job because it contains both "soft" and "hard" fiber - a varied blend that the body finds more "natural" and digestible. It's good to get natural fiber wherever you can in your food, but unless you REALLY LOVE VEGETABLES, you probably need a fiber supplement too. This is the best one we have found.
Prima Yerba Daily Fiber FormulaApr 28, 2012
By Linda Hisaw This is the best I have found. It is higher in both kinds of fiber than other brands. It is gross if you let it sit in water too long, so you have to drink it fast. Now I buy the 48 oz, which is almost the same price as what I pay for the 12 oz when I run out and have to buy it locally at Earth Fare.
Not crazy about the carbs, but taste great and works!Nov 12, 2010
By T. Sammo I tried the all natural husks, which are more difficult to mix. I always use this product now because most importantly, it does what it supposed to do, and it taste's good. Wish it had less carbs.
