Healthy, Effective, and great when mixed with Splenda and Koolaid mix. The best of many options I've tried.
I've sampled a few different varieties of fiber supplements, including both Benefiber and off-brands, and I found that Metamucil provided the most fiber in the least offensive beverage. Compared to the other brands, this stuff is smoother textured, and goes down easier, as a sort of happy medium between the grittier supplements and the thicker ones.What about effectiveness? I have apocalyptic IBS, and since starting to take this stuff regularly (one giant glass every morning and evening), my BMs have been much more regular, and more manageable. Flare-ups happen less, and it even seems to do a decent job when taken with meals of cutting the hit to my stomach and gut. I tend to take more than the recommended amount, with an even larger serving of water, as I feel like it helps me stay hydrated and full throughout the day.I started taking the classic orange Metamucil, but although I really liked the superior flavor (rather like Orange Tang) it packed several times more sugar in each serving than fiber, so while it was great for digestive health, the overall health impact was too negative. I also sampled the sugar-free berry flavors, but found that, although it was ostensibly healthier, the flavor wasn't great, and in addition it suffered from the aspartame aftertaste and further effects (Aspartame gives me headaches). So this was a dilemma for me. What to do? I actually wrote to Metamucil about it, and they recommended this product. The downside is that it comes with absolutely no flavor, so you need to provide your own in order to mask the texture (I wouldn't dream of trying to mix this in plain water--yuck!) The upside is they pack 100+ servings into a container, and you really are free to blend it into whatever suits your fancy. Obviously if you mix it with something like orange juice, then you're already negating the benefits of this stuff over the sugary orange flavor, but I've personally found a much better way.I like to mix this stuff with Kool-aid mix and Splenda (Sucralose) sweetener. I buy a ton of Splenda and kool-aid as it mixes up tasting sweet, like sugar, but without the calories or aftertaste. You can dump a spoonful of this stuff into a glass of splenda-koolaid, or just dump 8 servings worth of this stuff in with a packet of koolaid powder and a cup of splenda, and then just mix it up and spoon it into water as needed. Better tasting, sugar-free and packed with good useful fiber.EDIT: I wish I could subscribe to this stuff. Price of splenda has gone up, but I've figured out thatyou can just dump 7 packets of koolaid mix and 7 dashes of sucralose into a container of this and shake it up.

Excellent!
Excellent! No artificial sweetners or colors. Consistency is fairly smooth and it has a bland neutral taste. Bottom line, it works!

No sugar or sugar substitutes
It’s good to know there’s a product with fiber that doesn’t have artificial sweeteners or sugar. The taste is rather bland without sweeteners, but it’s a healthier product for those who want to avoid sugar and sugar substitutes. I feel that I’ve benefited my health and my digestion. with additional fiber. I have not had any negative side effects from this product.

Great product
This works. My doggie is after her surgery and needed to poop after 5 days. Our vet recommended this. I mixed one teaspoon with cooked wet food. She went few hours after. I did same things next morning and she went right after. No diarrhea, just comfortable effect on her. Recommend.

No Dye, No Sweeteners
It’s good for you but the taste is not great. That’s the trade off. It is not a horrible taste. I would rather have this than Metamucil’s other options with sugar or artificial sweeteners.

FALSE ADVERTISING TASTES HORRIBLE
FALSE ADVERTISING! WORSE PART YOU EXPECT NO FLAVOR BUT INSTEAD A HORRENDOUS NASTY TASTE YOU CANT MASK BECAUSE IT’S TASTE SO BAD AND STUCK WITH IT UNABLE TO RETURN IT! I am trying to use all of it because I can’t afford to throw it away. I mix it with frozen fruit flavored vitamin water and sugar and can still taste the nastiest. I don't understand because NOW and Benefiber are fully unflavored. NOW the texture I cant do and Benefiber doesn’t help. Metamucil is on the pricier side but yet can’t offer unflavored. For the price tag it shouldn’t taste so bad.

The reliable fiber supplement
Part of my morning routine. Have tried other fiber supplements but so far always returned to Metamucil and particularly this unsweetened version as I don't need any frills. I mixt it with water & add a bit of orange juice in a tall glass so I get a bit of hydration in addition to the fiber and I'm off to a good start.
