Benefiber Fiber Supplement Powder — 

Quick View: I am a huge fan of fiber. As an IBS sufferer and a health conscious person, I know fiber does all kinds of good things for me, including keeping me regular which sounds silly but isn't so funny when a week passes and you feel like you're about to explode. I love this fiber but wish it were the type that also lowers cholesterol.

About Benefiber Fiber Supplement Powder


This fiber is like no other. It is completely flavorless and tasteless. It doesn't thicken. It can be added to liquids or foods and you can't tell it is in there. AT ALL. It is amazing. After sucking down sawdust tasting fiber, this was such a great change of pace. I can add fiber to my tea, to my yogurt, my baked potatoes, whatever, and never even taste a thing. Each dose contains 100 percent natural, soluble dietary fiber extracted from the seeds of the cluster bean. It is guar gum which is 100% natural fiber. Fiber regulates the digestive system, gives you a full feeling so you eat less, and is good for body. The only issue I have with this fiber is that it does not claim to reduce cholesterol like psyllium fiber does. To me that's important. I am torn because this stuff is so good and so easy to take yet I want to watch my cholesterol. This works fine. It keeps my body running smoothly and gives my diet a fiber boost because I never get enough through food. There is no taste, no smell, no grit. If you start out slow, you won't bloat or get gas like many do who suddenly start taking fiber supplements. This is a wonderful choice if you aren't looking for cholesterol reduction and just want added fiber for all its other benefits.

My Viewpoint


Benefiber Fiber Supplement Powder is an excellent choice for maintaining regularity and supplementing your diet with healthy fiber. This is all natural and has absolutely no taste or even texture. It dissolves completely in liquids or foods. My only complaint is that it doesn't help to lower cholesterol like the psyllium fibers out there. Otherwise, this is the BEST fiber supplement out there. 4 stars. Recommended highly.

In response to happyladi's comment from Feb 10, 2009 at 4:35PM:

Interesting. My doctor told me this formula doesn't have the type of fiber I need to lower cholesterol. There are other formulas from this brand that do, he says. But if your hubby saw those results, that is AWESOME. I will have to go do some research to see if things changed or if my doctor was wrong. Thanks for the comment.

Benefiber contains soluble fiber and does claim to help reduce cholesterol. Just look at their website. My husband's doctor recommended that he use Benefiber to reduce his high cholesterol. He was able to reduce it from about 215 to 187.
