Editorial Review:
Sugar free (not for weight control). Better fiber. Better health. Dietary fiber is an important part of overall good health. In addition to maintaining regularity, fiber can also help: Lower cholesterol; Stabilize blood sugar levels; Control weight by helping you feel full and curb cravings; Manage irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and prevent diverticulitis. Yet most Americans everyday only get about half the fiber - 12-15 grams - of the 25-30 grams that health experts recommend. Fiber Choice is the best choice to close that daily fiber gap. One dose - two great-tasting chewable tablets (no water required) - contains 4 grams of Inulin - an all-natural dietary fiber source found in fruits and vegetables. Inulin not only tastes better and has a better consistency, it is the only fiber source that helps boost calcium absorption. (Studies have shown that 8 grams per day of inulin (a natural dietary fiber) increases calcium absorption. Each serving of Fiber Choice contains 4 grams of inulin.) Most fiber per tablet = Best value per bottle. Tablets may contain dark speckles due to the manufacturing process of natural ingredients. Made in USA.

Customer Rating: Summary: I T.....W O R K S ! !........I T.....W O R K S ! ! Comment: Yes, FIBER CHOICE tablets taste good. Yes, they work VERY WELL! And,
unlike BENEFIBRE chewables, they do NOT contain three different types of sugar-substitutes, the combination of which is untried and untested, and could lead to disastrous results, (cancer, anyone?) Fiber Choice has two NATURAL, (as far as I know) sugars, (dextrose), the same as is found, (together with sucralose), in SPLENDA packets, and sorbitol. The flavour I have at present, (Assorted Fruit), also contains inulin, (a natural vegetable fibre), magnesium stearate, and natural flavours. Unfortunately it also contains artificial flavours, FD&C Red 40 Aluminum Lake, FD&C Blue 2 Aluminum Lake, FD&C Blue 1 Aluminum Lake, and FD&C Yellow 5 Aluminum Lake. Yikes! Could one drown in, (or get cancer, or Alzheimer's disease, from) all these "aluminum lakes"? Anything is possible...but since I do NOT intend to use this product forever...just until I lose enough weight so I can excercise more -- I will continue to take this product until I do! (And perhaps other varieties and flavours don't have as many artificial ingredients????)
FIBER CHOICE is not my only defense! The old stand-bys, prunes and prune juice, still work so well! Coffee, too, is great for contipation, (really!) -- and decaffinated works as well as coffee with caffeine. So does any fruit or fruit drink, (I make LOTS of home-made lemonade with MINUTE MAID LEMON JUICE). I also read, (on Amazon.com, in their health article of health tips from AOL subscribers), that LIGHT KARO SYRUP, in WARM MILK, also helps. Hmmmm....I love coffee with LOTS of milk! Yep, LIGHT KARO SYRUP, in warm cafe latte, (swallowed down slowly, with two FIBRE CHOICE tablets), does wonders!
Anyone familiar with DUAL ACTION CLEANSE, (which undoubtedly is all-natural, and undoubtedly works very well....but which is is also undoubtedly horrendously expensive!), and its TV commercials, is familar with the story of THOMAS PARR. He was born in 1485, and lived for 152 years! When he died, the King of England ordered an autopsy...and found Mr. Parr's colon to be clean as a whistle! But -- four hundred years later, in presumably "healthier" times -- the autopsy of poor John Wayne showed just the opposite! So -- even if one manages to escape heart disease, arthritis, cancer, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and other diseases usual to old age, here in the 21st century --the clogging of one's colon
is still an ever-present danger. FIBER CHOICE is a delicious way to help fight this danger!
I continue to look for healthy and natural ways to combat constipation. And FIBER CHOICE, (with twice as much fibre as BENEFIBER), is a big part of my arsenel!
Customer Rating: Summary: Quality product, taste's like candy too! Comment: I have found this product to truly help my overall health, as well as my digestive system and consistent bowel movements. I must advise, the price is good on Amazon, but I would recommend that I bought it at [...](for 1 bottle, but it's a 220 count compared to the amazons 90). Just thought I would let that be known, but I still use amazon for most other things. Tastes great, only positive things to your health and immune system will come....and a bit of gas... Customer Rating: Summary: Fiber Choice Review Comment: Fiber Choice Fiber Supplement, Sugar-Free Assorted Fruit Chewable Tablets, 90-Count Bottles (Pack of 2)Most Excellant! Customer Rating: Summary: Best Fiber Supplement Comment: If you are in need of fiber this is the best way to get your fiber needs since provides soluble fiber (for those who have no idea what this means it is a type of fiber that is found in fruits and vegetables and is the type that is easily digested, insoluble is found in breads and grains which is more difficult to digest so for those who neglected to take their fiber soluble is the best way to go). The tablets taste fine, it's like candy though don't expect to be the best tasting candy, think of it as the best tasting supplement you've taken so far. Also, it will leave your mouth on the dry side so make sure you drink water afterwards. Other than that this provides you with 4g per serving. Highly recommended for everyone since everyone needs fiber daily. Customer Rating: Summary: It has made me somewhat agitated. Comment: At first I was delighted with FiberChoice . Recently, not at all. I don't know if its the inulin or the magnesium stearate, but FIBERCHOICE seems to produce what I have called a GOOD FEVER (agitated) , even tough it boosts your immune system you might be over the balance line. I have taken 2 a day, and find my self with not to good sleep.
I WILL lower my dose and see how it works. Maybe 2 a week. And I'll try some of the other fiber, cause I think fiber is good.
