FIBER GDX

HOW DO I TAKE THE FIBER GDX?

We recommend getting as much fiber through whole foods (25-35g) each day, then supplementing the gap, as needed. 
When you begin, use 1/4 scoop and slowly increase to 1 scoop over a few weeks. Increasing when you feel your digestive system is adjusting well enough to do so. There is no rush to get to 1 scoop; adding it too fast can promote intestinal gas, abdominal bloating, and cramping. 
Add the Fiber GDX to a cup/tumbler/shaker bottle with at least 8 ounces of water or/favorite beverage, then shake or stir vigorously. 
Be sure to stay hydrated while increasing your fiber intake! Fiber binds with water. 

HOW MUCH IS ONE SCOOP OF FIBER GDX?

One (1) scoop of Fiber GDX equals one (1) tablespoon.

WHY DOES MY FIBER BECOME THICK AND GEL-LIKE?

As soluble fiber dissolves, it creates a gel that may improve digestion in several ways. If you want to know more about soluble and insoluble fiber, this article by Healthline is a great resource. If you have a challenging time consuming the fiber, try one or all of these recommendations: Use a shaker bottle to help quickly break up the fiber; continue adding water and shake as needed as you consume. Add 12+ ounces of water to help dilute the fiber; continue adding water and shake/stir as needed.
