Originally, I was skeptical of this product and its claims about being "tasteless", "grit-free", and "non-thickening". I have tried many fiber products that alluded to similar claims only to be disappointed in the long-run. So, I figured that I'd give this product the ultimate test: I put a serving (2 teaspoons) in a glass of pure spring water and stirred it. In about two minutes time it vanished. I drank it down and didn't even notice that it was there, and that means a lot to me. I have very sensitive taste buds that can detect the minute difference between fresh mountain spring and purified/filtered bottled water. This product is great and I will be buying a lot more of it. I will never use any other fiber supplement again. Though it's a bit on the pricier side, there's nothing comes nearer to it in quality and simplicity.

This is the only fiber supplement we recommend at Synchrony Health. Dr. Ghani mentioned that it serves to equalize your digestion - loosen if you're constipated, and firm things up if you have, umm, the opposite problem.

As a young woman, I've taken this for the past several months for two reasons. First, I was having IBS-type digestive symptoms. I really felt like Benefiber had given me a lot of relief along with taking probiotics.

Then, I got pregnant and took a break from all kinds of supplements until I could check with my doctor. I began to have daily uncomfortable bloating to the point that I didn't fit in most of my clothes. (Maybe from pregnancy, or maybe that's just how I am without Benefiber!) Once I got the go-ahead from my doctor to be back on the Benefiber, I take two doses daily and I've been comfortable and back in regular clothes for a few more weeks before the baby causes actual growth.

What I like, besides that it works: I find that it's not noticeable stirred into most things, though I don't like it in plain water. It takes some stirring in cold things, but will dissolve. There's no sugar or artificial sweeteners. Because it's soluble fiber, it helps even things out whether your system is too slow OR too fast. Soluble fiber is also the kind that's great for lowering cholesterol. Plus, I've found that it relieves rather than causing extra gas.

Benefiber is the best fiber supplement product I've ever tried out (and believe me, I've tried most of them!). Not only is it lightweight and easy to use, I love that it dissolves completely in all liquids. You might need to stir it a little more if using cold water, but it will dissolve. I like that it has no flavor, no scent and does not alter the texture of the water/liquid that you dissolve it in.

I have it every morning in my green tea and it certainly helps to maintain my GI system for those days that I don't get enough fiber from food.

In an effort to get more fiber in my diet a tried Metamucil (which was disgusting) and then I tried this. How they manage to get grit free, tasteless fiber is beyond me, but I'm just glad they did. I add it to my baked goods, milk, juices, smoohties, tea, yogurt, and even my jam over toast or english muffins. It has no taste, no grit, and dissolves in everything, hot or cold. Also, there were no bloating or gas issues which I was expecting based on other fiber supplements. 5 STARS all the way!! Thank you Benefiber.

This product does just what it says it will do: dissolves instantly and completely in liquids. I stir it into any hot liquid I drink: coffee, soup, etc. and it disappears. No texture, no flavor. Good stuff!

To the folks who put this in water and then drank it, and complained it didn't dissolve... READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.... you have to give it a few minutes to dissolve.

Myself, I add this into everything. Its tasteless and textureless, especially compared to the other products on the market. A few years ago I got a bad cholesteral report and the doctor suggested upping my fiber by adding this sort of product (since I don't like veggies) as one part of combating the problem. I tried the stuff in the orange container and HATED it, it turned everything to jello.

Then this product came out, and I tried it and was very happy with the results. But like I said, you need to give it a minute or two to dissolve. DO NOT put it in fizzy drinks unless your trying to get rid of the fiz.

For those who do Weight Watchers, adding this will lower the points value of food/drink if it has no fiber grams in it to start with. (I asked the group leader and she confirmed this.)

Also, I don't exercise (me bad), and I'm not great about watching my diet (deep fried mac and cheese makes me happy), but overall my cholesteral levels have gone down a few points by liberally including this stuff in my morning coffee with flavored creamer, and mixing it into my mac and cheese, etc.

That and my bowels move better and easier.

This product dissolves completely in liquid and has no taste. Use it in anything to increase your daily fiber intake. Most people don't get enough fiber - this is an inexpensive way to make sure you're ok.

I stopped taking it for a while and did not notice any change.
I stop taking Metamucil and I noticed the change in one day.
Thats because Metamucil is real fiber.
This one maybe good for something but if you want to use it for colon motility, it does nothing.
The fiber must be non-dissolving for that.
Convenience and ease of use yes, but efficacy - who knows.
The company puts out no research and no evidence that it does anything at all.

If [...] seems too good to be true, it ....

I've been using Fiber One cereal, and Fiber One bars in order to add fiber to my diet. Unfortunately, they gave me quite a lot of gas that was embarrassing. I decided to try the Benefiber powder in order to cut down on calories. Strangely, it works great and has none of the gas side effects of the cereals and bars!!
