Are fiber supplement tablets a good way to get more fiber into my diet and are they healthy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They help.: guidelines suggest 35 grams of fiber daily for women, 50 grams for men. That's a lot of fiber. Tablets can help,you reach these goals, but should not supplant normal dietary sources of fiber.
