Other than Fiberrific, almost all other fibre supplements, including the leading national brands, use psyllium as their primary ingredient.
Psyllium (Plantago psyllium), a grain crop grown for its seeds and husks in India and Iran, is chosen by many manufacturers because it is a plentiful and inexpensive source of edible fiber.
The psyllium husks and seeds are not a good source of fiber. Containing 5% or less fiber, you would need to take at least 20 grams of psyllium to obtain 1 gram of fiber. It is these husks and seeds that most fiber supplement manufacturers use as the main ingredient in their product.
Fiberrific is made by taking 100% natural chicory roots and water extracting the fiber from the root. This fiber then undergoes a natural enzymatic process which cuts the fiber into smaller pieces. The resulting product, Fiberrific, is comprised of a 100% natural, completely soluble, grit-free edible fiber extracted from chicory roots called Partially Hydrolyzed Inulin. Fiberrific is over 97% fiber. In other words, in order to obtain 1 gram of fiber you would have to take only 1.03 grams of Fiberrific.
Psyllium causes fiber supplements to have an unpleasant taste and makes the beverage gritty. Manufacturers often add flavours and sweeteners to their product to mask the true taste of their gritty, poor tasting beverage. These sweeteners and flavours act as fillers, reducing the overall fiber content of the supplement, while adding unnecessary carbohydrates and calories. These added ingredient often increase the glycemic index of these supplements, potentially causing problems in individuals with sugar sensitivities. Fiberrific is tasteless. It requires no additional ingredients to make it palatable. It does not raise blood sugar levels, as it has a glycemic index of 0 (zero), and has no net impact carbs. It is pure fiber with no added fillers.
