    Fibre Supplement

    What kind are most of you taking? I have the impression that Chitosan is the most popular, but why? I've started with Benefiber, but if Chotosan has good stats, I'll switch as of now. Just curious..Thank you!

    Chitosan may be a little more effective at absorbing fats than the others.

    We do not have enough results to be able to break it down by type of fiber and I think that any non-vitamin fortified fiber will work.

    Just looked up chitosan and there are so many types! Some with soy, some with vitamin c, some with something called absorbitol?! Does it matter which one we take?

    the soy is probably a miniscule amount used to formulate the pill.

    avoid the Vit. C one, the absorbitol is ok

    I'm using the sugar-free Metamucil that has aspartame. I take it twice a day, before lunch and dinner.

    Honestly, I prefer the Metamucil because it's more convenient when I'm home, cheap, and I figure the aspartame can't hurt. But I take the chitosan once a day because my tummy just gets upset if I take only Metamucil before every meal, so I mix it up with chitosan once a day.
