A member asked:
I see that benifiber has on 5gs of dietary fiber per 2 tsb, how much of this do i need a day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
24 grams plus: You need a lot more fiber than that - but it is suppose to supplement - Please note that five servings of fruits and vegetables are an important part of your diet. One serving of vegetables is about half a cup. Add some whole apples, whole oranges, as well as some leafy green vegetables (brocoli, bok choi, asparagus, green beans) to your diet.
