Super Seed - Vegetarian Whole Food Fiber Supplement with Protein and Omega 3, 1 Lb 5oz (600g) Powder

Good fiber source.

Best use until 9/2017 !!!!! Very disappointing, I will never be able to finished it until 9/2017. But I already opened it.

came in fast and am very happy with the product! Would recommend it!

I am NOT a health nut. I am obese and I trying to get my health/weight/stress levels under control. I also do not have any digestive diseases, however I often suffered from significant discomfort from gas, bloating, constipation, and loose stools. These had been a recent onset in the last year or so, previous to that time, I had no GI upset. I (very reluctantly) decided that my first round of behavior modification would include getting my digestive system under control by trying to regulate my diet, adding a significant amount of fiber and protein. I was very wary of getting a fiber powder because I don't like gritty textures and don't tolerate "healthy" tasting items well either. So I tried this in conjunction with a well-reviewed probiotic. I cannot express to you how impressed I was with this stuff. It mixes fairly easily (only spoon requires), has TONS of really good stuff for you, and doesn't taste terribly bad. However, here are a few tips: If you do not like apples AND cinnamon, you will not like this. I find it absolutely disgusting when mixed with just water. It tastes to me like I imagine eating water-y mud would taste like (I literally gagged). However, I can use as little as 4 oz of fruit juice and 8 oz of water and be totally happy with the taste. It tastes fake and almost sour if you mix it with apple juice. Orange, mango, and some combination of peach work wonderfully. That being said, I also highly recommend mixing it with 12 oz or more of liquid if your like me and don't like to drink your apple sauce. HIGHLY recommend mixing with ice. Even if it sits out in my hand for a couple of minutes, the combination of thick and luke warm makes me gag. Tends to settle very quickly, so always stir before you drink (especially important if you do water/juice combo instead of all juice. For whatever reason tends to pull just water to top, cause the water/fiber mixture to gag me). Also, tends to get slimier as well when let to sit more than a minute (also something I have trouble with). To get total relief of my GI symptoms, I have to use twice daily. Double BONUS POINTS: It works as a superb appetite suppressant. You really will maintain AT LEAST 4 hours without tummy growling hunger. After some experimentation, I can't live without it. Completely made me a believer!

I'm trying to listen to my Dr. for a change and I decided to add more fiber to my diet. I wanted to add a supplement and I tried the orange flavored stuff. It was OK, but I wanted something that tasted more natural than like clumpy Tang with artificial sweetener. I purchased Garden of Life Super Seed based on the ingredients and good reviews and I am very happy with it. Not only am I getting fiber, I'm getting protein, Omega 3 and all the other good stuff it has. I was a little concerned because it had more calories and I'm overweight, but it is actually helping me lose weight by filling me up. I've also used it as a meal by mixing it with skim milk and eating it with 7-grain toast with marmalade or a couple of scrambled eggs. I love it mixed with milk. It goes down like a bran muffin in a drink. I also sometimes drink a glass with water 15 minutes before dinner and I noticed I'm able to control my portions much better. Another reviewer said it is clumpy, and it is, especially if you wait. That is because fiber absorbs water so as time goes on it gets a little thick. The orange stuff works the same way, so either way you have to drink it quickly or maybe water it down a little and mix it up again (or just drink the thick remainder). OK, it doesn't taste like chocolate cake, but it isn't supposed to. I think this stuff tastes great, especially with milk. I find that out of the other high fiber foods I've tried (orange stuff, snack bars) this fills me up the best and I feel like my carb cravings have subsided a little. Over all, I feel my energy level has increased significantly and I have much less mental fog. This isn't due to this particular product per se, but it made it easier for me to increase fiber and lower simple carbs like white flour products and sweets. In addition to this supplement once or twice a day, which is more like a food than a supplement, I'm eating 1 high fiber snack bar a day and trying to eat veggies (I'm allergic to most fruits) at every meal for about 30g of fiber a day. I still eat my favorite bad food (pizza and Chinese food), but I am eating smaller portions-- and not because I'm forcing myself to eat small portions but because I'm full sooner. I feel great and I'm happy Super Seed is part of my daily diet.

I love the flavor and finer. detox. don't add to much as will clump. so experiment with amount to put in but great quality
