Garden of Life Dr Formulated Organic Fiber Supplement Powder Unflavored, Sugar Free, Psyllium Free Prebiotic Superfoods, Constipation Relief and Hunger Control for Men and Women, 32 Servings

I've read some of the reviews and have few suggestions. Regarding it not mixing well, put a small amount of water in a glass and add the fiber to make a paste. Then add the rest of the water. You'll find that it does mix well that way. I did experience a little gas when I first started taking this but I've been using it for over 6 months now and my body has adjusted to this and I no longer have any intestinal problems. One caution, prebiotics and probiotics work best if you stay away from foods that feed bad bacteria. As far as the taste is concerned, I don't have a problem with the orange flavor. I've tried a ton of different prebiotic brands and this one tastes better than most and works better. I'm not drinking it for the flavor but the results. Finally, and this is the most important, the last six months, everyone in my office has been sick with colds and flu. I am the only one who has not been sick. This was not always the case. I've also lost some weight and don't crave sugar and carbs like I used to. I'm diabetic so this has been an added bonus.

This was my first experience with fiber and I found it to be easy to mix into yogurt and actually enjoy the taste. It also mixes with coconut water smoothly. It’s easy to digest, does not give me gas or other negative side effects. I liked it, but thinking I might be missing something, tried another brand, which was too heavy, tastes awful, was more expensive and gave me an embarrassing amount of gas. I am ditching that product and coming back to this one. I think it’s great

I have been using this product for years. I tried a few other “Prebiotic” powders and didn’t particularly like them and found a couple more that had ingredients I am allergic to. This isn’t the best prebiotic powder because it doesn’t have the highest prebiotic ingredients in it such as Jerusalem artichoke and chicory root which I have read are the best prebiotic ingredients of natural foods. I can’t eat chicory root because it is related to lettuce and I am allergic to lettuce. There are a few things about this product that can be irritating such as mixing it. It tends to clump. Recently I have found using room temperature water and real glass and slowly tapping in the powder while stirring it. Most of the time it won’t clump. Sometime it just doesn’t matter and it clumps. I use a fork to stir it with and when I’m done if it has clumped I pull out the clumps with the fork and just eat them. It tastes fine to me and I really don’t like their other orange flavored product. Here is my real issue with this company. On the bag you will see that it says 32 servicing and the serving size is 1 tablespoon. After a few months of using it I was pretty sure I wasn’t getting that many servings out of a bag so I started keeping track. The most I could get out of it was 15 Tbs of a leveled off Tbs and shaking the bag before use to add in some air and make it fluffier just to give them a little advantage. But 15 was it. I wrote the company and here is the response that I received from them: “Thank you for your interest in Garden of Life’s products. We completely understand your concern. Using a measure scoop is not the most adequate way to measure. The most truest way to measure is using a food scale. One serving is equal to 6 grams. Tablespoons may differ from tablespoon to tablespoon because some people level it and some people take a heaping tablespoon, some people tap it to level it off. It is nearly impossible to get the same amount with every tablespoon . If you weigh it on a food scale using 6 grams per serving you will achieve 32 servings.” Ok, I don’t have a food scale and don’t want to waste time weighing this every time I started to use it so I just started experimenting with smaller serving sizes to see how I could get 32 servings out of the bag. I started with a half Tbs and I got 30 servings out of the bag. I did this for 2 months and it stayed consistent for that number. So that’s what I’m using now is 1/2 Tbs. It would be interesting to see if that really correlates to their 6G’s but obviously 1 Tbs does not. There may be some differences in Tbs sizes but not to the point of halving the size of the advertised number of servings. If any one has a kitchen scale it would be interesting to see what you came up with on Tbs and 6 grams of this product. I think they should figure it out themselves and put a realistic delivery size on the bag. I do think that there is a lot of settling of the contents of the bag and that is why I shake it up so it get so air and get fluffier but still 1 Tbs is just not correct not matter what they say. I will continue to use this product because I like it and it’s convenient to get and it works well with the probiotics that I take.

I bought this because I wanted to add fiber to my diet but not just the plain old Metamucil kind of fiber. This has extra ground up stuff in it that seemed to me like a good alternative. As for the "no flavor" aspect of it... well, I find that it definitely has flavor... like chewing on cardboard... so it's not all that pleasant to just drink it in water but honestly I don't mind at all since it's just one glass of water with this stuff in it per day and it works wonders. So I will definitely be buying this over and over for several years to come. I think you probably wouldn't even notice it if you put it in yogurt and ate it instead of drinking it but I haven't tried that yet.

Didn’t dissolve in water. A couple of hours after taking it I became gassy, nauseous, and started to cramp in my stomach and intestines. Feeling like I am going to have diarrhea and vomit. I can’t tolerate psyllium husks yet this product is worse. So ill!

Definitely untrue what they claim about this powder being "Flavorless, no grit or gummy texture" and "Dissolving easily and being clear". It has a taste, sort of medicinal, tart taste, could possibly be the orange peel and cranberry seed in it (should we even be eating that?). It has a sort of chalky, gritty texture to it. Does not dissolve easily, it clumps really easily, the only things I could successfully add it to were smoothies and apple sauce. Don't put it in your water, you'll have chalky, cloudy, yucky-tasting water, but it's perfectly fine in smoothies. And there is a small amount in the bag, not 32 servings. Other than that it is what it says it is. It helped a lot with my IBS so I think I will be repurchasing, but still on the look-out for a better fiber powder.

I’ve struggled for a while to find the right product. Agreed it is slightly pricy but It works, I usually take before I go to bed as I’ve found it works better for me would recommend

Good Product

This product does what it advertises: great fiber and despite many reviews claiming it doesn’t dissolve properly, it does if you stir properly with a little patience. It has a very mild orange flavor but for the most part it has no flavor. I’m satisfied with this product.

This organic fiber contains orange peel, so that could be what makes it take a little bitter. It clumps a bit in room-temperature liquid, but is easy to swallow. Many thanks to the seller for delivering early!

it ha s a very strong flavour and I certainly couldnt use the full dose
