THORNEFiberMend - Prebiotic Fiber Powder to Help Maintain Regularity and Balanced GI Flora* - 11.6 Oz

The item came as expected, unopened, brand new. The item itself was perfect, as expected. Dissolves easily, without flavor, and I’ve been using it with both Orgain and Isopure clear protein. It has been an important addition to my dietary supplements while on a GLP-1 weight loss journey.

The more we learn about fiber, the more we know that we're not getting enough. I started adding a scoop of this to my daily smoothie and have been very happy with it. No tummy upset or anything weird. Just extra fiber in your diet. While we rely mostly on a healthy, whole-foods approach to eating, it can be hard to get 30-50 grams of fiber a day (esp if you eat a high-protein diet), so this little scoop of 7 grams really helps me reach my daily goals. I need to increase the timing of my subscribe and save because now that other members of my family are using it too, we've been running out! And you can really tell when you go from using it to not using it, if you know what I mean. ;)

Please read this review. First off, this product works like a charm to make you regular! ( Better than Psyllium husk) Thank you Thorne. Second, if you look up each individual ingredient and check its efficacy, you will be pleasantly surprised, I promise. Third, to all the customers that complain about not getting 30 scoops for the price...the product reviews on Thorne website suggest people flip the container over a couple of times to "re fluff" the contents and then you should get the 30 scoops. The product settles over time. Also, it mixes well with warm water. I personally loved the taste, like cream of wheat, or toasted rice.I take other Thorne vitamins, and no one paid me to write this review. I would love to know if customer can get away with taking 1/2 scoop after awhile. I have not been using it for that long.

It was very hard to rate this product. As far as its efficacy as a fiber supplement it works better than any other product I've tried before. Having said that, its solubility is very poor. No matter what liquid I use, whether it is ice cold, room temp or warm, or for how long or vigorously I stir, the product will not mix in properly. It leaves many clumps and lumps. That isn't a big deal for me... I just drink them down!What really gets me angry is the misrepresentation that this is a 30 day supply (as is indicated on the label). The serving size is listed as two level scoops. I got 25 servings from the last container I ordered. I am a nurse and a science teacher, so believe me when I say I know how to measure properly. This product is expensive. It works very well, but to be so pricey, and then to be short 5 days worth of product is unacceptable. I will be measuring this new container and will report back on the serving count.Updated 4 July 2017: I changed my rating to one star because there is obviously a deliberate shortage of product. The first time I purchased this I noticed that it ran out too soon. The label says: Serving Size: two level scoops Serving Per Container: 30 I decided to carefully measure with the next container I purchased (see above review). It lasted from 5/16 to 6/9 = 25 doses. I know sometimes there are packaging errors, so I continued to count with the 3rd container. It lasted from 6/10 to 7/4 = 25 doses. Again. I will be contacting the company and asking them (or Amazon) for a refund for all three containers. To charge $41.10 for a one month supply of dietary fiber is ridiculous to begin with, but I bought it on the advice of my doctor. To charge $41.10 and then rip you off 5 days worth of product is completely unacceptable. I will also be informing my doctor to ask her to stop recommending this product until they treat their customers with integrity.Updated July 6th: This was the response from Thorne Research: "Thank you for reaching out! We’re sorry you didn’t have an excellent experience with our product, which is always our goal. At the time of manufacturing, each bottle of FiberMend is filled according to the weight of the powder listed on product label. Likewise, the Supplement Facts information is determined by the weight of one serving – according to the number of servings listed on the product label. However, by the time a powdered product, like FiberMend, gets to a customer, sometimes the powder will compact down – it “settles” – and therefore an individual scoop can vary in how much powder the scoop contains compared to when the powder was first manufactured. To maximize the consistency in the amount of powder each time you take a scoop of it, we recommend inverting the bottle a few times – you’re not “shaking” the powder, you’re just “fluffing” it – before each use. Plus, be sure to take care the powder is level with the top of the scoop."***So basically the company tells me that in order to find an extra five day supply of product ($6.85 worth) I just need to "fluff" my fiber before each use. Never. Buying. Again.

Convenient and easy to take. No real hard or chalky taste.

I bought this because I wanted a fiber supplement that had more than 3-4g of fiber and didn’t have artificial sweeteners. I take it in my coffee or in a glass of milk. It does have a flavor. It’s not an unpleasant taste but I do notice it even in my coffee. To me it tastes like unsweetened cereal. It doesn’t completely dissolve and has a noticeable texture but it’s similar to other fiber supplements with ingredients like psyllium husk. It is pricey compared to some other brands and I haven’t decided if it’s worth the increase in price yet.

This product and brand was recommended by my functional health doctor. I am 43 and need to take fiber on a daily basis. It's definitely high quality! It dissolves easily into my green smoothie, protein shake, or drink on my preference. I use it every morning for the last 3 months and feel a real difference. I 100% would recommend!!

Great packaging, and protection too was very well sealed.The powder is pretty tasteless or has a faint vanilla flavor and smell. I was able to mix into some orange juice and it was perfect!
