I love that it's all natural, but come on, 12 pills a day?

trying to add more fiber to my diet, into natural products, buys organic

Pros

All natural, No fillers, Several types of fiber

Cons

Need to take way too many, Only 2 grams of fiber per 4 capsules, Expensive

In an attempt to get more fiber into my diet, I originally bought fiber powder that you add to a beverage. The texture was more than I can handle, so I went to my local, natural market, Henry's Farmers Market to check out their fiber capsules. I ended up buying Yerba Prima Daily Fiber Caps because they are all natural and contain several types of fiber, not just psyllium husk seed like most brands have.

What I don't like about Yerba Prima Daily Fiber Caps is that they recommend you take four capsules, one to three times a day. That might not sound too bad, but when you factor in there is only 2 grams of fiber per serving, you would only get six grams of fiber per day if you took all three servings! That's ridiculous because the daily recommended amount of fiber is 25-35 grams.

Ingredients: psyllium seed husks, acacia gum, soy fiber, oat bran, apple pectin extract, USP Kosher gelatin capsule.

A bottle contains 180 capsules and costs around $11.00. If you took all three servings everyday, the bottle would last you fifteen days. I have been using Yerba Prima Daily Fiber Caps for over a month and haven't noticed any difference at all. I would not recommend them because you have to take 12 capsules a day just to get six grams of fiber - it's not worth it! I'd rather eat a bran muffin!

I wouldn't even purchase this if the instructions were to take that many caplets that many times a day. I'm all about taking vitamins and what have you first thing in the morning and being done with it until the next day. And fiber drinks--yuck!!

That's a lot of pills!

I would rather have a really DRY muffin :)

Sounds like a rip off meant to scam those that don't pay attention to what they are getting! Thanks for the warning, I would rather have a muffin too :) Or cereal.
