A member asked:
What is the required daily intake of soluble and insoluble fiber?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
About 25grams: 25 grams if you eat a good fiber cereal in morning you will get about 5 grams. Just a good healthy diet with fda recommended fruits and vegetables is sufficient for most would not spend a lot of money on supplements without good diet changes first.
