Both my 15 year old son and I take these. Not only they taste great but they work like a charm! We both have IBS with constipation and take them daily. By taking these daily, we no longer have to subject ourselves to drinking nasty tasting stuff or suffering through major bouts of constipation. We also don't get cramping from these like most other products.
If you need more fiber in your diet and don't like the chalky grainy drinks that are out there I suggest Fiber Gummies and the brand in my top 3 is VitaFusion. The gummies are easy to take, give you 5 gms of fiber in 2 gummies and come in fruit flavors that taste good. A good addition to any diet.
The product tasted great and did what it was supposed to do .Good stuff! I recommend it highly!!!
I take heavy prescription narcotics to treat chronic pain caused by a head-on car accident that happened in 2007, so I have digestive issues that are common among people who are on these types of medications. After being prescribed different laxatives that gave me terrible cramps and just made me feel all around awful, I started looking for a new option. When I was in the drug store one day I passed through the vitamin/supplement aisle to grab my vitamins, and stumbled across these wonderful, tasty morsels of fibre. The gummies are expensive, I believe I pay almost $25.00 for a bottle, and they last about a month, but I find that they are worth the cost.
Now to the nutritional side of these things, each serving, which is two easy to chew, well-flavoured (peach, strawberry, and blackberry), gummies, has 8 grams of dietary fiber, which is significantly more than a lot of other fiber gummies/capsules/drink mixes, and they are much more attractive an option. I was using Senosides, which are also a fiber-based laxative, but found that they either did too much, or too little to fix the problem. These gentle on the tummy/gut gummies do not cause cramps, you take them everyday, just as you would with any vitamin or supplement, and they have no sugar added, so they are tasty and good for you in more than one way. They keep your gut at a good balance, and I do not find that they cause diarrhea when used properly.
They do not actually list the caloric value of each gummy, but considering that they have no sugar added to them, I would assume that it is fairly low, but cannot say absolutely. You would have to do a little more research into them to find that out. The daily recommended amount of fiber for an adult is 25-30 grams, so they do give you quite a lot of your daily requirement for a supplement.
I chose gummies instead of pills because I already take a lot of medication in pill form, and the metamucil and other drink mix options seemed incredibly unattractive to me as a secondary option. Senosides did work, but I find that the gummies do not give the same discomfort, and if you need more dietary fiber in your diet, you can always chew a couple of extra gummies to help fill that void.
I hope this review was helpful, and gives you a good idea of what these are, and how they work. I recommend them to anyone who has bowel issues due to medication, IBS, or diet, or who just need a little extra fiber.
*Extra note* After writing this review, I did do a quick search to find more information on the nutritional value, specifically the caloric value, of these gummies. and could only find the caloric value for the 5 gram version of the gummies, which is 10 calories per serving. I would assume that the 8 gram version is very close to that.
