Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The product arrived as advertised, on time and in good condition. I gave this Two Stars not because of quality or service, but because the manufacturer should provide additional info and warnings on packaging with regard to its primary fiber ingredient, Chickory-derrived INULIN. Inulin is in fact a source of insoluble dietary fiber. What differentiates it from psyllium (Metamucil and the like), cellulose (Citrucel and the like), or grain byproducts (bran, etc.) is that inulin is a "FODMAP" - or "Fermentable, Oligo-, Di-, Mono-saccharides And polyols." This isn't necessarily sinister, however for folks who are coping with irritable bowel syndrome and similar GI motility issues, inulin may cause significant bloating, flatulence and episodes of abdominal pain, especially if you introduce it into your diet suddenly, or you "overdose" - and truthfully, these gummies taste pretty good. While not lactose intolerant, and while not an IBS sufferer (at least as far as I know), I speak from personal experience regarding the aforementioned side effects! One last tidbit, in the interest of full disclosure - I am a medical doctor, residency trained / board certified in emergency medicine, and I have no financial or other conflicts of interest with regard to this product or any other "nutritional supplements" (read: "no FDA oversight"). Caveat emptor...
