Each serving of UniFiber contains 3 grams of natural fiber, similar to the amount of fiber found in one large bran muffin or ¾ cup of cooked carrots.

How is UniFiber different from other fiber supplements?

UniFiber is the only fiber supplement on the market that is totally insoluble. It offers benefits such as:

  • No gas and bloating
  • Can be taken with other medications

  • No choking hazard (does not gel or swell)
  • Gluten-free, sodium-free, phosphorous-free

What is UniFiber made of?

80% Powdered Cellulose, 19% Maltodextrin, 1% Xanthan gum. The cellulose in UniFiber is sourced from common hardwoods species including beech, birch, maple, oak, and gum trees.

How long does it take for UniFiber to produce effect?

UniFiber generally produces effect in 12 – 72 hours.

When I mix UniFiber in water is it supposed to mix clear?

No, UniFiber is an insoluble fiber supplement and therefore will not dissolve. When mixed with water, the water will appear cloudy and the particles will go into suspension but will not dissolve. Although UniFiber can be mixed in water, you may find that it is most easily taken when mixed with your favorite juice or soft food.

Why is UniFiber a good fiber supplement for people on a restricted diet?

UniFiber is sodium, potassium, phosphorus and gluten free. It contains less than one net carb per serving and has less than 4 calories per serving with no artificial sweeteners. UniFiber requires no extra fluids and there are no special precautions or warnings.

Yes. UniFiber is a great source of fiber during pregnancy. It is all natural and will not interfere with the absorption of a prenatal vitamin or other medications.

Can I take UniFiber with my medications?

Yes. Unlike psyllium fiber products which caution patients to take their fiber at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after taking oral medication or vitamins, UniFiber can be taken at the same time without altering their effectiveness.

Does UniFiber have any special warnings?
