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

The best fiber i've found February 3, 2010 Brad Novacek (Oklahoma City) Someone said it was a bad tasting fiber and that if you can get past the gag reflex it's tolerable, well they don't know what is great fiber. I'm ordering 4 more jars of this from another supplier for free shipping. However, they are taking forever because i can't wait so i ordered again thru Amazon and supplied by Vitamin Shoppe. This is an awesome tasting fiber and would definitely recommended it. So we have 5 jars of 600 gms on order!
My wife complained so much I was eating all her fiber that we had to enough to not run out.

This is easy to use. I just mix with water. Haven't noticed any extra gas reaction.
Super Seed Helped Acid Reflux July 4, 2009 Z. Her (Madison, WI) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
My husband has bad acid reflux and bad side effects to all the drugs used for that (you know what those are if you have acid reflux). So we needed to find a more natural alternative. We hit on Super Seed & it helps him. What more can I say.
I hope to be able to buy this for a long time... April 3, 2009 sk raymond (San Diego CA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I feel I should defend this product about "bad tasting" remarks, because I have consumed at least 4 jars of this - two of them the smaller sized jars - and I find that what it says on the jar label is true, quote,"Color and taste may vary from lot to lot." That is quite true! Some of the ones I bought tasted very good to me, and others were not half as delicious. I recommend, if you should not like the taste, to mix it with some cold spiced apple cider/juice.
One of the things I like about this product is that it is not very sweet, and I dislike taking some other powdered fiber supplements that are sweet and come flavored with orange or citrus -- yuck! Which reminds me that I had read someone else's review of this product where they said it contained sugar, and it most certainly doesn't! One serving contains less than 1 gram of sugar, and that is sugars that are naturally occuring in the ingredients. This Super Seed is lightly sweetened with stevia.
I have ordered a jar of this to arrive every month with that service from amazon, because I am pleased with the stuff. It doesn't cure my irritable bowel syndrome, but I have had that illness for many years and don't expect anything to fix it overnight. Buying this Super Seed sure beats grinding flax seeds into a powder at home. It is wonderfully convenient that way.
I hope to be able to buy this product for a long time...
Great supplement March 30, 2009 C. Bonds (FL) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a great product for anyone seeking a healthy, pure fiber supplement. It has a nutty taste and I was rather surprised that it had the nice flavor since many similar products have terrible flavor!!
