I love Benefiber Orange Fiber Supplement Powder. However, I can't get it anymore, so I had to switch to Metamucil. The unflavored Benefiber just doesn't seem to work as well. It doesn't dissolve and just isn't as good. The orange flavor actually tastes pretty good, and it dissolves really well. It isn't gritty or too thick. I used to take it pretty much every day for regularity, but then all the stores in my area stopped stocking it, and I don't want to order it. So I switched to Metamucil, which works okay but isn't quite as good in the flavor department and doesn't dissolve as well. This fiber supplement has a good amount of fiber, and I always used a little less water than it said to in the instructions. I also found that mixing it with lukewarm water instead of cold water made it a little easier to take. It dissolves better that way. Overall, I think it's a great product and would continue to buy it if I could. It's a similar price to similar products as well.

Generally, I like to have fiber supplements in my household in case of any unforeseen tummy troubles; or even if I just have neglected to eat enough fruit or vegetables for the day. I bought some Orange flavored benefiber expecting it to taste like Tang, and it did not. It did taste like synthetic orange juice, but it didn't have the same tartness and satisfaction as Tang. This didn't dissolve as cleanly as I expected it to, and it still had some granules at the bottom of my cup after I finished a glass. This made me feel as though I didn't get as much fiber as expected. It does work however, as fiber should. Not my favorite fiber supplement, but it will do. If you do prefer to drink your fiber instead of taking a pill or tablet, I would recommend plain benefiber mixed into your favorite fruit juice. The plain benefiber taste is masked by most fruit juices and ends up not tasting like anything.

Here's a product that actually tastes good and helps you to get the necessary fiber needed daily. These tablets are pretty big but chewing them is quite pleasant. You won't even care that they are that big because they taste good. This product produces the desired effect of having very productive bowel movements. If you get in the habit of taking this along with eating other healthy fiber foods, you will stay very regular.

I used to use Benefiber orange fiver supplement powder, but i stopped using it. The reason being is i used to get such bad gas pains in my stomach. Plus i did not like the taste or the gritty feeling i would get in my mouth. Not recomended for everyone...

My doctor suggested that I needed more fiber so my husband went to the health food store and return with psyllium husks.  All I can say is Yuk!  No matter what drink I tried stirring the psyllium into, it always tasted horrible.  The only way I could get it down was to just hold my nose & chug it.  After about a week of this torture I said forget it - I'll skip the fiber.  Then I got a sample of Benefiber and I couldn't believe it.  Not only did it have a pleasant taste - I honestly couldn't notice that anything had been added.  There was absolutely no grit or sludge.  It really does dissolve completely like they claim.  I've tried both the orange and the plain flavor, and I actually prefer the plain becuase it provides more versitility in what you can put the Benefiber into.  I've put it in assorted drinks, but I've also added it to applesauce, yogurt, pudding, soup & other soft foods.  I love that this product allows me to get the fiber I need without making me gag.

After my mom had a colonoscopy done, the doctor found out that she was mildly constipated.  The nurse recommended that she take a laxative and told me Benefiber would be a good choice.  I didn't know what it was at first, so I asked the nurse how long my mom is supposed to take it for?  She said you can take it every day for the rest of your life if you wanted to because it's good for you!  It includes fiber to add to your diet and will make you not constipated anymore.   In addition, it helps to lower your cholesterol!  Wow, talk about killing two birds with one stone!  After I bought it for my mom, I decided to try it for myself.  All you have to do is mix the powder with water and drink it.  It doesn't taste powdery and dissolves in the water quite well.  It's just like drinking water with a bit of an orange flavor.  This product would be good for people of all ages, and especially great for those that are constipated and have high blood pressure.

I received some samples of this product in the mail, but I wasn't planning on using them.  I've tried other types of fiber supplements and I just gag when I taste the gross texture of the fiber in my water.  I didn't want to waste them, and I *was* curious to see how this compared to other products I tried, so I gave them a shot. **Benefiber Orange Fiber Supplement Powder **: - Dissolves Completely - Sugar-free - 100% Natural Fiber - 2 tsp in water = 3g fiber I added some of this powder to some cold water to see if it would still dissolve completely, or if the water had to be room temperature.  Not only did this powder dissolve completely, once I mixed it up, you couldn't even tell it was there (besides the orange color).  It wasn't floating on the top or even sinking to the bottom in a murky mess, it was clear.  I took a sip and couldn't believe how good it was.  The **Benefiber Orange Fiber Supplement Powder **did not change the texture of the water at all.  It was no thicker that it was before I added the powder, now you just get a nice orange flavor. I really am amazed at how good this product is.  You cannot tell that there is fiber in your water at all.  I loved my samples and I plan on buying the full-size product soon.
