15 products we’ve reviewed list fiber (psyllium, inulin, glucomannan) as a key ingredient. Here’s what it does, what the research uses — and how much each product actually contains.
What it is
Soluble fibers absorb water, add bulk and — in the case of prebiotics like inulin — feed gut bacteria.
What the research uses
The recommendation for adults is 21–38 g of fiber a day from all sources — most Americans get about 16 g. Increase slowly and drink plenty of water to avoid bloating.
