UniFiber® . . . The Naturally Unique Fiber Supplement
Tasteless - Non-gelling - Grit Free
UniFiber® is a unique natural fiber supplement made from highly refined plant cellulose (like the fiber of grains, fruits and vegetables). UniFiber® has some important differences when compared to other fiber supplements:
- Less side effects - UniFiber® is totally insoluble and therefore will not cause gas and bloating.
- Restricted diets - Unlike other fiber supplements, UniFiber® is sodium, potassium, phosphorus and gluten free. It is an excellent option for those on a restricted diet (such as renal patients).
- Non-gelling, requires no extra fluids to prevent choking – There is no minimum liquid requirement for UniFiber®. UniFiber® may even be given via NG tube.
- Versatile and easy to take – UniFiber® is a tasteless, ultra-fine powder and can be mixed with most liquids (fruit juices, water, milk, etc.) or soft foods (cereals, applesauce, mashed potatoes, pudding, etc.) without changing the flavor. You can also cook with UniFiber®. Click here for recipes.
- Does not interfere or interact with any other medications – Metamucil®, FiberCon® and other psyllium products must be taken two hours before or after medications and vitamins. UniFiber® can be taken with other medications and vitamins.
