MetamucilUnflavored Psyllium Husk Powder, 4-in-1 Daily Fiber Supplement with Real Sugar, Original Coarse Texture, 114 Servings

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.

This works. My doggie is after her surgery and needed to poop after 5 days. Our vet recommended this. I mixed one teaspoon with cooked wet food. She went few hours after. I did same things next morning and she went right after. No diarrhea, just comfortable effect on her. Recommend.

It’s good to know there’s a product with fiber that doesn’t have artificial sweeteners or sugar. The taste is rather bland without sweeteners, but it’s a healthier product for those who want to avoid sugar and sugar substitutes. I feel that I’ve benefited my health and my digestion. with additional fiber. I have not had any negative side effects from this product.

Nice product without any sweeteners but quit raising the price. It's almost doubled over the last few years.

It’s good for you but the taste is not great. That’s the trade off. It is not a horrible taste. I would rather have this than Metamucil’s other options with sugar or artificial sweeteners.

The best fiber! Work in a few days.

Be aware that this product is not actually "unflavored", it still contains a high amount of citric acid which gives whatever you put it in a sour flavor. I would highly recommend just buying pure psyllium husk powder over this product which would be cheaper anyway.

I have used this for years, and it seems to be a great fiber source. Love the 'no sweeter added.' It tastes much better, very bland but I don't like a super sweetness like in the regular Metamucil. Sugar is poison. Bland is good for fiber. This is good!
