Garden of Life Super Seed - Vegetarian Whole Food Fiber Supplement with Protein and Omega 3, 1 Lb 5oz (600g) Powder

I've been using Garden of Life Super Seed regularly, and it's been a great addition to my diet. I mix it with steel-cut oats or add it to smoothies, and it blends in well without overpowering the taste. It helps keep me full longer, which has been great for weight management, and it definitely supports digestion—keeping me regular without any issues.I love that it's packed with fiber and natural ingredients, making it a healthy and effective way to boost my daily nutrition. If you're looking for something to aid digestion, help with weight loss, and keep you feeling full, this is a great option!

I am NOT a health nut. I am obese and I trying to get my health/weight/stress levels under control. I also do not have any digestive diseases, however I often suffered from significant discomfort from gas, bloating, constipation, and loose stools. These had been a recent onset in the last year or so, previous to that time, I had no GI upset.I (very reluctantly) decided that my first round of behavior modification would include getting my digestive system under control by trying to regulate my diet, adding a significant amount of fiber and protein. I was very wary of getting a fiber powder because I don't like gritty textures and don't tolerate "healthy" tasting items well either. So I tried this in conjunction with a well-reviewed probiotic.I cannot express to you how impressed I was with this stuff. It mixes fairly easily (only spoon requires), has TONS of really good stuff for you, and doesn't taste terribly bad. However, here are a few tips:If you do not like apples AND cinnamon, you will not like this.I find it absolutely disgusting when mixed with just water. It tastes to me like I imagine eating water-y mud would taste like (I literally gagged). However, I can use as little as 4 oz of fruit juice and 8 oz of water and be totally happy with the taste.It tastes fake and almost sour if you mix it with apple juice. Orange, mango, and some combination of peach work wonderfully.That being said, I also highly recommend mixing it with 12 oz or more of liquid if your like me and don't like to drink your apple sauce.HIGHLY recommend mixing with ice. Even if it sits out in my hand for a couple of minutes, the combination of thick and luke warm makes me gag.Tends to settle very quickly, so always stir before you drink (especially important if you do water/juice combo instead of all juice. For whatever reason tends to pull just water to top, cause the water/fiber mixture to gag me). Also, tends to get slimier as well when let to sit more than a minute (also something I have trouble with).To get total relief of my GI symptoms, I have to use twice daily.Double BONUS POINTS: It works as a superb appetite suppressant. You really will maintain AT LEAST 4 hours without tummy growling hunger.After some experimentation, I can't live without it. Completely made me a believer!

I was looking for a product to boost my fiber intake without increasing my net carbs (I live a low carb lifestyle of 60 net carbs or less a day). This product fits the bill. I eat a serving of canned 100% pure pumpkin every day & add this to it. It makes a thick consistency (like pumpkin pie). If you add 2 packs of stevia & 1 serving of half & half & pumpkin pie seasoning or extra cinnamon, it tastes just like real pumpkin pie. Anyone who has recipes with this product, feel free to share them.I noticed a slight taste of apple cinnamon, but very mild. It tastes a lot better than I thought it would. Based on the ingredients, I thought it would be a lot worse.It arrived super fast & was packed well & fresh. I will definitely buy it again.*** follow up *** I purchased this again & was not disappointed. Exp date is 2016 so it is definitely fresh. My only concern now is, I practice a low carb lifestyle & just realized it has beans in it. This is the last rung on the Atkins ladder & I am not sure if it will impact my weight loss. I usually take 1 scoop in the morning mixed with my Nature's Best Carb Zero Isopure Whey Protein Isolate. For an on the go mix, I take this to the gym & just add water. The super seed mix adds thickness to the water & makes for a more pleasant taste and not so watered down result. The chia seeds in the mix gel up after a few minutes, thickening the mixture which makes it great for smoothies & shakes.This product as several benefits for me. It keeps me regular, keeps me fuller longer when mixed in my shakes & also provides nutritional benefits.

I purchased this because it was advertised as being good for diverticulosis. I like the fact that it takes natural food ingredients to add fiber to your diet. I mix it with a little water and it tastes pretty good. It is sweet and fruity. The important thing to remember with this is that it is powerful and you have to know just the right dose for YOU. If you just jump in and start taking it, it will deliver a nightmare from which you won't want to take it again. LOL The instructions should be rewritten to start with a very small amount, like 1 teaspoon or 1/2 teaspoon. Then increase it until you achieve the results you're after. How much fiber supplement you need really depends on how much fiber you have already eaten in your meal. Take this supplement along with your meal. I take it no later than 5 p.m. with my dinner and allow it to work its magic overnight. Flax seed is known to cause diarrhea if you're not used to taking it or other strong fiber supplements. You'll be the most happy with this if you learn to graduate yourself upwards until you find the dose that works for you! Trust me on that. Knowledge is power.

I have been uses this product as an adder to shakes and foods for a few years now and really like it. In shakes it adds a really nice smoothness and just in general a soft nice taste to most things. Health wise flax is suppost to be mostly good for you and I can't say that I have noticed a difference but I continue to use it for the reasons I mentioned. I keep a couple of jars on hand and when they are gone I'll buy again.
