FiberSure Clear Mixing Powder Fiber Supplement - Review
As I am on a low carb diet, I am always looking for ways to increase my daily fiber intake. Studies show that ingesting 25-30 mg of fiber daily will decrease gastrointestinal disorders and the possibility of colon cancers. I had heard the FiberSure powder mixes in clear, has no adverse taste, and comes with a reasonable price tag.
I didn’t want to use Metamucil, which apparently has an orange flavor (and I suspect might be gritty). And as I checked the fiber powder options on the shelves at Rite Aid, it seemed that most products were much more expensive than this one. A friend had recommended FiberSure so I wanted to give it a try.
At this point I’ve been using this for several weeks and have found the product is everything I was seeking. I can add a teaspoon to just about anything - there is no taste or texture change. I’ve added this with good results to coffee, red and white wine, salad dressing, eggs, oatmeal, soup, Crystal Light drink mix and yogurt. The package said you can add it to baking products, but I have not tried that myself.
The product offers 5 grams of soluble fiber per heaping teaspoon of product. It’s gluten-free, contains no net carbs and is made from vegetable products.
I was impressed that the container has an ergonomic feel in the hand and is easy to pour. I usually don’t bother to measure it out in a spoon - I guesstimate out a teaspoons’ worth and it seems to work fine.
I noticed that I had to increase my fiber dose slowly, which by the way *is* recommended on the label. I actually did notice a difference in my GI tract shortly after starting to take the product. Nothing uncomfortable, but a definite change in the bowels. I do recommend either gradually increasing the fiber dosage over a week or two, or increasing your hydration when you do take the supplement. Either way, this helps everything even out.
Very recommended for anyone interested in easily adding fiber to their diet. This is a super easy way to eat better and be proactive about your health.
