Customers are dissatisfied with the clumping of the nutritional supplement. They mention that it clups when put in plain water and even 5 minutes later, there may still be a few clums. They also say that the powder gets clumpedy and you really can't use it in anything other than plain water. They say that it immediately clots and clumples, leaving a big cluMP on the spoon. Customers also say the product starts to solidify into solid clummers that do not dissolve easily and congeals.

UPDATE: I ordered this again, but the packaging this time was pathetic. It's a good thing there's an inner seal because the cap was broken in shipment. I'll have to transfer the new crystals into the old container.---------------The ingredients are the same as the big name brand. The only differences are the slightly coarser grind and the lower price. From reading another review I found that it helps to let it sit a few seconds before stirring it into your drink. Otherwise it doesn't dissolve quite as quickly. One plus with this size and brand is the flip-open cap -- much easier and quicker than having to unscrew it and then screw it back on every time.
I’m on a low fiber/low residue diet. Used Benefiber for a few months but it’s really expensive. Tried the Kirkland brand. It’s the same stuff…wheat dextrin, a soluble fiber. Kirkland doesn’t dissolve as readily but you can just put the 2 teaspoons into water and let it stand for a minute, then stir and it’s all dissolved. Tasteless, not gritty, like drinking plain water. Excellent.
This product keeps me regular. mixes very well and doesn't add any taste to the coffee i add it to each day. It's the best value for adding fiber to your diet.
This product is comparable to Benefiber but at half the cost. It is great and is wonderful. It DOES fully dissolve in water or any NON-carbonated liquid. I typically add to either my coffee in the morning, my oatmeal, or a glass of just water. In water, it will look cloudy for a minute or two and then look totally clear. One tip I would like to share: This is a BIG bottle- put a portion in a smaller, air-tight container, use that first, store the rest for later. The problem with this type of fiber is that if it gets wet, it starts to solidify into solid clumps that do not dissolve easily. The humidity in the air can ruin your unused product prematurely. If you keep opening that large bottle everyday, you introduce water via the humidity in the air into that bottle and seal it in. Depending upon your climate, this can ruin a quarter of the product. For me, pouring a portion into a smaller bottle and using that first solves that problem.
I've been using this in place of Benefibre for years now. I put it in my coffee along with my scoop of Collagen. Everything dissolves and you wouldn't know it was there. Can't believe the reviews that find it less than that. Now, I put it in hot liquid. Physically, no difference between the two products, except price. Wouldn't be surprised if it's made by the same company.
