NOW Foods Supplements, Acacia Pure Powder, Certified Organic, Highly Soluble, Mixes Easily, Intestinal Health*, 12-Ounce

I bought this because it's more reasonably priced than the other product I was using. It works just as well. The taste is okay but I just drink it fast. I only mix it with water, but if you put it in something else, it would be good, too. It works well for me, I will keep buying. Oh ,& I use a hand blender to mix it up, it's not required but there's no clumps or grit.

👌🏻👌🏻

I use this in my morning smoothies, and it blends well.• Texture: Adds some density and a nice texture.• Taste: Doesn’t change the taste at all.I am satisfied overall with this healthy bonus

Odd smell , little aftertaste, dissolves well in coffee.

Works great for my wife! She has had serious complications ever since her gall bladder was removed. This product taken once daily coupled with Now Foods Digestive Enzymes capsule at every meal, and a good, once daily GNC women's probiotic supplement have cured her bile gastritis, poor nutrient absorption issues, and chronic bile diarrhea. As long as she takes these regularly her digestion is "normal" like it was before her gall bladder was removed. She was on several bile binding prescriptions for several years previous to trying her current regimen. They were expensive had serious negative side effects and were very expensive. The prescriptions did not work anywhere nearly as well as the three OTC products she uses now.Acacia fiber doesn't ferment in your stomach if you have gastroporesis (slow emptying stomach) like my wife got from botched gall bladder surgery that caused stomach (Vagus) nerve damage. All of the grain based fibers will ferment in your stomach making MASSIVE amounts of gas which causes lots of pain and discomfort. Grain based fiber products also irritate your gut if you are sensitive to gluten and other grain proteins/compounds. A lot of people don't realize they are allergic to gluten/grain. Read the book Grain Brain for more info.One thing to note if you are in the same boat as my wife with post gall bladder removal syndrome. Patience is your friend. It will take 2-4 weeks of regular use of whatever combination of supplements and digestive aids that YOU FIGURE OUT WORKS FOR YOU. We figured it out by trial and error and many hours spent reading internet articles, web forum posts, Amazon product reviews, etc...The medical "professionals" we have had to deal with during this little slice of our lives have been ignorant at best or dangerous hindrances at worst.

This brand of acacia fiber is something I have been adding as a fiber supplement to some of my protein/veggie shakes for about a year now, especially for ones I don't want thickened up . If I want to thicken one up, I use psyllium. This particular company has been around for about 17 years and hasn't managed to land themselves any bad press for fake ingredients that I could find, so I am happy to continue ordering it from them.If you are ordering this, chances are you landed on some website that touted some possible health benefits. The main one that has actually been backed up by research is the reduction of BMI and body fat when used at doses of 30 grams a day for 6 weeks, and that was in acacia gum format. Studies have specifically been done with acacia fiber to see if it did provide cholesterol reductions, and it was shown that it *does not* reduce cholesterol. But I have seen some wellness websites extrapolating general benefits of other fibers to acacia fibers in that area, saying in effect that acacia fiber will also reduce cholesterol, which is actually not correct nor is it backed by the research. So specifically, if you are wanting this product for reducing cholesterol, go with psyllium, which studies actually have shown will reduce cholesterol. Or learn to love your oatmeal...Also, just as an FYI, acacia fiber will interact with Amoxicillin, and you should avoid taking this product when you're on this antibiotic because it interferes with absorption. So I'd recommend writing yourself a great big reminder note and sticking it on the bottle, because there's a chance your Dr. may not think to ask if you are taking this before they prescribe your antibiotics.Otherwise, if all you are wanting is a safe fiber additive that's not going to noticeably change the texture of the things you're adding it to, this is a great product, it's something I use, and it's something I can definitely recommend.

I take fibers every day for my chronic digestive illness, in an attempt to slow things down enough that I can live in society and actually leave my house once in a while.I took another brand of acacia fiber before, and it didn't do much that I could tell, but I wanted to try again because it typically gets rave reviews. I ordered this because of the brand and price.I tried it, small amounts, for several days and eventually was in so much pain within my intestinal region that I had to stop. It took me a couple days to figure out what was going on, I thought I had problems with my ovaries or something. Luckily, after the fiber worked its way through, I felt back to normal. I tried it again one time, last week, and was reminded of why I had pushed it to the back of the shelf. Zoinks. Painful experience! I think it worked as well as any other fiber at gelling things up, which is typically mediocre for me and not enough firming, but the pain factor makes me never want to try again.I always mix my fiber powders with a little ripe banana powder to make it taste good. Adding l-glutamine to my fiber mix has made a positive difference - I recommend it if you've got ibs-d or anything like that.

Having IBS, I have been using another brand of “Tummy Fiber” for years. I decided to try NOW Supplements, Acacia Pure Powder and could not be happier. NOW Supplements, Acacia Pure Powder Is less expensive and dissolves more completely than my previous brand of acacia tummy fiber. I could not be more pleased. Highly recommended.
