FIBER
1 tablespoon (medium) of Fiber supplement (7 g) has 13 calories. That works out to 180 calories per 100 g. It contains 6.4 g of carbs, 0 g of protein, 0 g of fat and 5.6 g of fiber. Its glycemic index is 0 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
A fiber supplement is a concentrated source of dietary fiber, commonly sold as a loose powder that can be mixed into drinks or food. The fiber may come from different sources, so check the product label to see what kind you have. This fine, mildly granular powder is usually fairly neutral in taste and can be stirred into water, juice, yogurt or porridge.
People use fiber supplements in varied ways: at breakfast, blended into a smoothie, or mixed into a drink alongside a meal. Fiber makes up most of the nutrition listed here, at 80 g per 100 g. For an easy addition to your routine, mix it into a familiar food or drink and follow the serving guidance on the package; keep enough liquid in the mixture, as products can differ in how they behave.

Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

A fiber supplement helps increase the fiber in your diet. It contains concentrated fiber in a form such as powder or capsules, and its effects depend on the type of fiber used.
Take a fiber supplement according to its directions. Powdered products are commonly mixed into a drink, and many bulk-forming fibers need plenty of fluid to move comfortably through the digestive tract.
Yes, some fiber supplements can ease constipation by adding bulk to stool and supporting regular bowel movements. Increase the amount gradually and drink enough fluids to reduce the chance of discomfort.
A fiber supplement can be taken before or after meals, depending on the product and your routine. There is no single best timing for everyone; follow its directions and take it consistently.
Yes, many fiber supplements can be used daily when taken as directed. They work best as a supplement to, not a replacement for, fiber-rich foods such as beans, vegetables, fruit, and whole grains.
Yes, a fiber supplement can cause gas, bloating, or abdominal discomfort, particularly when you increase your intake quickly. Starting with a smaller amount and increasing it gradually may help.
Some soluble fiber supplements can help make loose stools more formed, but the effect depends on the fiber type and cause of diarrhea. Seek medical advice for severe or persistent diarrhea.
Some fiber supplements can affect how certain medicines are absorbed. If you take regular medication, ask a pharmacist or doctor how far apart to take them rather than taking them together.
No. Psyllium is one type of fiber used in some supplements, while a fiber supplement may contain psyllium or other fibers. The ingredients determine how the product behaves when mixed with liquid.
A fiber supplement may help some people feel fuller, but it does not cause weight loss on its own. Use it to complement meals rather than replace foods that provide a range of nutrients.
