Psyllium Husk Powder, Unflavored with No Added Sweeteners, 114 Servings, 4-in-1 Fiber Supplement, Daily Psyllium Husk Fiber Powder Help Support Digestive Health by Promoting Regularity*

I've sampled a few different varieties of fiber supplements, including both Benefiber and off-brands, and I found that Metamucil provided the most fiber in the least offensive beverage. Compared to the other brands, this stuff is smoother textured, and goes down easier, as a sort of happy medium between the grittier supplements and the thicker ones. What about effectiveness? I have apocalyptic IBS, and since starting to take this stuff regularly (one giant glass every morning and evening), my BMs have been much more regular, and more manageable. Flare-ups happen less, and it even seems to do a decent job when taken with meals of cutting the hit to my stomach and gut. I tend to take more than the recommended amount, with an even larger serving of water, as I feel like it helps me stay hydrated and full throughout the day. I started taking the classic orange Metamucil, but although I really liked the superior flavor (rather like Orange Tang) it packed several times more sugar in each serving than fiber, so while it was great for digestive health, the overall health impact was too negative. I also sampled the sugar-free berry flavors, but found that, although it was ostensibly healthier, the flavor wasn't great, and in addition it suffered from the aspartame aftertaste and further effects (Aspartame gives me headaches). So this was a dilemma for me. What to do? I actually wrote to Metamucil about it, and they recommended this product. The downside is that it comes with absolutely no flavor, so you need to provide your own in order to mask the texture (I wouldn't dream of trying to mix this in plain water--yuck!) The upside is they pack 100+ servings into a container, and you really are free to blend it into whatever suits your fancy. Obviously if you mix it with something like orange juice, then you're already negating the benefits of this stuff over the sugary orange flavor, but I've personally found a much better way. I like to mix this stuff with Kool-aid mix and Splenda (Sucralose) sweetener. I buy a ton of Splenda and kool-aid as it mixes up tasting sweet, like sugar, but without the calories or aftertaste. You can dump a spoonful of this stuff into a glass of splenda-koolaid, or just dump 8 servings worth of this stuff in with a packet of koolaid powder and a cup of splenda, and then just mix it up and spoon it into water as needed. Better tasting, sugar-free and packed with good useful fiber. EDIT: I wish I could subscribe to this stuff. Price of splenda has gone up, but I've figured out thatyou can just dump 7 packets of koolaid mix and 7 dashes of sucralose into a container of this and shake it up.

I was worried about the taste based on some of the reviews. I tried it in my coffee, and I'm glad I did it that way. I keep coffee in the fridge, so that is what I mixed with one tablespoon of this. I use half and half and no sugar. I tasted it. It tastes like burnt coffee. Not a bad thing...thats just what the taste it added. I decided to see what would happen if I added a splash of a flavored creamer. The taste went away instantly. Hope this helps someone!

It works. I like the fact that it does not have sugar added.

This is great. No added sugar or flavor. Tastes a little rough at first, but you get used to it!

Doesn’t miss very well in hot or cold drinks. Best way to mix is with a shaker bottle. Seems to have helped my IBS a little. Hoping it lowers my cholesterol.

I want to know who labeled this as no flavor. Were there requirements for their job position, such as taste buds? What did we all do to this person to deserve such torment. This taste like the final stage of adulthood, rancid and bitter. Don’t put this in your morning coffee unless you just need a reason to hate everything and everyone you come in contact with. Decided to try putting it in just water a yes it does gel up (that much I was prepared for) the taste, still full of rancid regret but the smell! It smells like what you’d imagine dog food taste like and gets worse the farther you go. Still going to give it the ole college try an test it out for a week, if it performs miracles I’ll amend my review, not about the taste though. But as of right now, save yourself the mental anguish and get benefiber! Their taster knows what unflavored really means.

Quickly delivered and in perfect condition!

While the product technically works for fiber intake, the experience of drinking it is unpleasant enough that I dread taking it. I’ll be finishing the tub (because it wasn’t cheap), but I am definitely going back to the Orange flavor next time.
