Fiber is a complex carbohydrate which is found in plants. The body does not digest fiber; instead the fiber component of food passes through the digestive system. There are two types of fiber - soluble and insoluble fiber. Much like it sounds, soluble fiber is fiber that dissolves in water and insoluble fiber is fiber that does not. The best way to get fiber is through a whole food diet of fruits, vegetables, grains, seeds and legumes. The role fiber plays in a healthy diet became apparent at the turn of the century. Diets previously high in dietary fiber were altered to include the new wonder foods, refined sugar and mill

Works better than anything I've tried August 23, 2010
rawraws (Colorado)
I've had IBS for a while and suffer from constipation. This is the only fiber that works well for me. And it not only works well it works great. It's such a relief to be so regular again. As far as the taste it's not great...but the issue for me more is the texture. I don't recommend mixing it in smoothies or yogurt because it absorbs water fast and becomes thick and gelatinous. I just put a scoop in a glass of water, stir well and chug. Not my favorite thing to do but it gets the job done.
I can't recommend this enough though for constipation. It's even helped my heartburn quite a bit. Oh and buy online it's much cheaper than Vitamin Shoppe!
Great Gluten-Free Fiber Supplement July 21, 2010

Unlike some of the other fiber supplements that say they are gluten free (but contain barley leaf, etc), this product really is gluten free, it tastes pretty good (as far as fiber supplements go), and it is effective and affordable. I love it enough that I signed up for monthly shipment. Try it - you may really like it!

Super Seed has a really nice mild cinnamon taste. Chock full of omega 3 fatty acids from flax and chai seeds. It has sprouts and probiotics. This really helps with my gut flora with its anti-fungal (natural cinnamon) and probiotic ingrediants and I find it really helps stave off (TMI alert!) chronic yeast infections that I'm susceptible to. However, I do find that it's not that effective in keeping me regular though it does help alot of people. I love to mix this with my very own green drink mix which includes: Garden of Life's Perfect Food Raw (or BarleyMax by Halleluja Acres), Acerola Cherry Powder (Now), Navitas Twister Super Fruit Blend of goji, pomegranate and acai and Navitas Maca powder. I mix it all together in water and chug it down. Yumm!!
Fantastic Fiber June 2, 2010

I really like this fiber supplement. I mix 1 scoop with about 6 ounces (1/2 a can) of refrigerated Peach Nectar or 8 ounces of refrigerated Apricot Nectar using a hand-held blender and it goes down nice and easy. I've read that a lot of people mix it into milk, fruit juice or water but I need to have something that's a little thicker than those to get past the texture of the fiber. If you're a Weight Watcher, here are the point values for the two ways that I take the fiber:
1 Scoop Super Seed - 1 point
1/2 can of Peach Nectar - 4 points
Total = 5 points
1 Scoop Super Seed - 1 point
8oz Apricot Nectar - 3 points
Total = 4 points
If you've used Colonix, you'll probably LOVE this supplement as much as I do because it's gentler on my stomach (no cramping, no gas), does not contain psyllium and is less expensive.
Can't start my day without it May 19, 2010
V. St-pierre (Texas)
I absolutely love this stuff. I add into my smoothies every morning. Organic berries, organic yogurt and organic skim milk and its a great way to start a morning and a perfect way to end a day. I'm on the auto-delivery program and am never without my Super Seed. Love the taste. Highly recommend it.
