This review is for using this product for improving cholesterol #'s. This is just one of the products I used.I've had mixed results with cholesterol lowering supplements and I have done a lot of research on them in the hopes of avoiding going on a statin. I've taken cholesterol supplements and had my cholesterol go down. I've not taken them and had my cholesterol go up. I've also taken them and seen no change. That being said it is definitely worth a try if you want to improve your lipids and avoid a statin.I was taking this in conjunction with other supplements, all that have some scientific research proving they work. I did see improvements in my lipid panels when I took various supplements but was never able to tell what was helping the most. When I didn't take the supplements my #'s would go up, but lately despite taking all of these supplements my #'s were high and I'm now on a statin and not taking any of them anymore. If you are concerned about your cholesterol I would strongly suggest talking to your Dr about a Coronary Calcium Scan as taking supplements can get fairly expensive. After my last lipid panel results came back elevated I went for the scan and my Dr and I decided to go on a statin instead of spending $750-$1000/year on supplements. For the record my CC Scan cost $100, most insurance will not cover it, but it was the best $100 I have ever spent on health care.For the record I had the best test results when taking the following supplements each day:Psyllium Husk 3 x 700mgFlax Oil 2 x 1000mgKrill Oil 2 x 1000mg (fish worked too but I hated the after taste, none of that with krill)TR Niacin 3 x 500mgSytrinol 2 x 150mgCoQ 10 1 x 100mgPantethine 3 x 450mgPlant Sterols 3 x 800mgGlucomannan 3 x 1150mgThese were all spaced out AM, Lunch, PM.Comparing my worst and best lipid #'s from blood tests from a lab, these supplements did the following:Total - Lowered 60 points - 22%Bad - Lowered 53 points - 27%Good - Increased 15 points - 22%Tri-G's - Lowered 37 points - 25%Good to Tri-G Ratio - Worst was 2.62, while on all these went as low as 1.75 (Harvard Med study lists this as possibly the best predictor of heart attack risk). Ideal is below 2.It should be noted that I rarely eat any meat other than fish/shell fish...rarely eat egg yolks...and have a fairly healthy diet...mainly my lipid issues are genetic.

The media could not be loaded. Fiber is life! I don’t know about you but not pooping everyday makes you feel crappy. Taking fiber daily will guarantee to get things moving. And not in an explosive diarrhea kind of way. Just a wake up and take care of business and move on with your day kind of way. And it makes everything just come right out so no more pushing grunting it out. Also you won’t need a whole roll of toilet paper to feel clean. Buy this fiber. Take it everyday. Poop it out.

Good quality and helps me ensure I get enough fiber. Easy to digest as long as I don’t take too many!

It used to take an extra long time for me to do my business. Not because I wanted to, but it took a lot of effort to empty my bowels.After taking these supplements for about 9 months now. It cut my time in half, if not more.As weird as this sounds. I feel completely satisfied after i do the doo. It leaves my stomach feeling empty.It's also helped my bottom from flaring up, because I don't have to force my body to release my poop.These have definitely made my body feel better. I take 4 pills every night with a full glass of water before I go to bed. It's worked great for me so far. Everyone's body is different, so take my review with a grain of salt.

I was testing this out by only taking one capsule every 1-3 days since that's all I can handle. Because this just makes me uncomfortable and having to race to the bathroom every couple of hours to remove waste. Sorry to be blunt, but most that are buying these capsules know that it's to help clear you out so to speak. Eventually, because I keep going so much, there's that slight burn. You know what I'm talking about. I guess it's constipation. I'm on the fence about these pills because the day after I'm removing the waste I feel great! Mood is up since your gut does affect your mood. However, I take a capsule, it doesn't really seem to work that day, but the next day after taking the capsule is when I'm running to the restroom. Maybe it takes a day to work. So plan accordingly. I'd test this out on a day off when you're at home to assess how you react so there are no surprises. Everyone reacts differently to supplements, so you'll only know if you try it. It's not that expensive, so if it doesn't work the way you want, then no big loss.
