What Does Fiber Do for the Body?
When we think about fiber supplements, regularity is probably top of mind. And it makes sense. Soluble fiber gets broken down in the gut to help move things along at a healthy rate. But fiber goes beyond gut health and digestion. Glucomannan fiber, a low dose dietary fiber, moves through the digestive tract like other fibers-with some other great health benefits. It supports satiety-the feeling of fullness, promotes healthy blood sugar levels, heart health and even functions as a prebiotic to help feed good gut bacteria.

FAQ
How does this fiber supplement compare to others?
Easy Fiber is less bulky than other fiber supplements because it's formulated with glucomannan, a soluble dietary fiber derived from konjac root. And unlike other fiber supplements, the lightly orange-flavored powdered fiber mix is sugar-free, vegetarian, gluten-free and has no artificial flavors or sweeteners.
How should Easy Fiber be taken-before or after a meal?
This depends on the reason why you are taking Easy Fiber. To encourage satiety, take half a scoop before each meal three times a day. To promote regularity, take one scoop three times daily, with or without food. To help support heart health, take one scoop three times a day, with or without food. Make sure you are briskly mixing the scoop of fiber in at least 8 to 10 ounces of water or your beverage of choice (to taste) one to three times a day, and drink it immediately.
When can I expect an effect?
For regularity, effects were seen as early as two weeks, and the best effects were noticed after three weeks. For satiety, the best effects were seen after five weeks. For heart health, effects were seen as early as two weeks, and the best effects were detected after three weeks. Due to our unique biochemistries and lifestyles, however, the time it takes to notice benefits can vary from person to person.
Will this fiber interact with my medication?
If you take prescription medications and are considering this supplement, we suggest discussing this decision with your physician.
What is the texture like?
When taken immediately after mixing with a beverage, the beverage will retain its original consistency for a limited time, allowing it to be easily consumed. If you've taken other fiber powders in the past, you'll likely find this much less bulky. That being said, you will want to drink the liquid right away because the fiber can begin to gel when left in a liquid for several minutes.
Can it be added to hot liquids?
Mixing Easy Fiber with hot liquids is not advisable, since you need to consume it immediately after you've added it to liquid. Most hot beverages are either too hot to consume immediately or sipped slowly over time.
Are there any major allergens in this product?
Easy Fiber does not contain any of the 9 major allergens required on the label under the Food Allergy Safety, Treatment, Education, and Research (or FASTER) Act of 2021. This means it is free of milk, eggs, fish, Crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, sesame, and soybeans.
Where is this product manufactured?
Easy Fiber is manufactured in the USA.
Is this product vegetarian?
Yes, Easy Fiber is vegetarian and does not contain any animal-derived ingredients.
Can children take this product?
Please consult with your child's pediatrician before giving him or her any supplements.
Product Details
Get more fiber.
It's age-old advice, but most Americans don't consume enough fiber in their diets. And that's too bad, because it's important to get enough fiber for a variety of reasons: digestive health, regularity, satiety, and heart health, just to name a few.
Adjustable dose, multiple benefits
Many fiber supplements are made with psyllium husk. But this form of fiber tends to be bulkier and requires a larger daily dose to achieve the same benefits as our Easy Fiber! Easy Fiber is made from konjac root (Amorphophallus konjac), a form of fiber often used in Asian cuisine.
Konjac delivers the same benefits (including regularity, satiety, heart and gut health) as other fibers, but at a lower dose.
Regularity, satiety and digestive health
Easy Fiber helps promote regularity and supports your digestive health partially through its role as a prebiotic. In fact, healthy regularity and a prebiotic effect were observed in clinical trials that provided supplemental glucomannan fiber to adults on a low-fiber diet.
Another reason people take fiber is to promote satiety-the feeling of being satisfied after eating. Why? Because, simply put, if you're not hungry, you'll eat less. Glucomannan fiber from konjac root excels at promoting satiety.
Already-Healthy Cholesterol & Blood Sugar Levels
Glucomannan fiber isn't just for regularity and gut health either. This soluble fiber is known for its heart health benefits, too! In a meta-analysis of 12 randomized controlled trials, consumption of two or more grams of glucomannan fiber daily for three to 12 weeks helped to maintain already-healthy LDL and HDL cholesterol levels.
In a group of 25 healthy middle-aged men, adding glucomannan to rice before eating it helped maintain healthy blood sugar levels, compared to simply eating rice by itself. Furthermore, when study participants increased the amount of glucomannan ingested it produced even better results.
More good news: this lightly orange-flavored fiber powder is also vegetarian, gluten free, sugar free and contains no artificial flavors, colors, or sweeteners (unlike competitors like Metamucil*).
