Sari Foods Organic Acacia Fiber Powder (30 Ounce): Natural, Whole Food, Plant Based Prebiotic Superfood for Gut HealthUSDA Organic

I really like this product. I have used both Sari's and then Heather's acacia fiber; so far I like this one the best. It mixes well in cold or hot drinks--Heather's forms a stringy mass in hot drinks, so no putting it in your coffee, while Sari's blends well in coffee and is to me basically tasteless in coffee. I also (so far) find it more effective as a prebiotic than Heather's. More effective for the gut issues. Everyone asks about the color. What I think is that Sari's is much less processed than Heather's and so the color is darker. And that MIGHT explain the high levels of minerals in it as well, although another reviewer in the questions section pointed out that Sari's Acai powder also boasts the same level of minerals. I really hope the label is incorrect, because that level of iron could over time cause iron storage disease, and also contributes to a host of other diseases. Also, that level of calcium, in a single dose could contribute to kidney .stones and also potentially to atherosclerosis. PLEASE CLEAR THIS ISSUE UP, SARI FOODS! If Sari foods could confirm that there is not such a high level of these 2 minerals, then I would give their product a 5 rating. I am trying to research what the absorbability is of calcium and iron from acacia fiber, but no luck yet.11/19: SARI FOODS DID CLEAR UP THE ISSUE OF HIGH LEVELS OF IRON AND CALCIUM--IT WAS A MISPRINT ON A LABEL! THE REAL LEVELS ARE 0.5 MGS IRON AND 40 MGS. CALCIUM PER TEASPOON. This is okay, very happy. I also want to say that after using this for several months, my gut is so much better, and getting better all the time. I absolutely love this product, and will not be without it.

I received my order promptly. It is a wonderful value.

I started this based on research that I did to support my weight loss, well I must say that since using this I have seen a 20% increase in overall weight loss, it takes away my sugar cravings and also reduces my appetite. Appetite was always an issue with me because I would always be hungry, but this definitely does the trick. I've been recommending this along with green bean coffee extract to everyone I know that is trying to manage their weight. Oh, and it has no taste so you can mix it with just about anything.

Seems to be what it says

Great fiber for mixing into pretty much anything. Just be careful when handling, since it has a very fine consistency and can easily blow around, gunk up the zip closure, etc.

*MY* gastroenterologist, that is.He's trying to avoid surgical repair of a hiatal hernia (the valve between esophagus & stomach) that's breaking down again a decade-plus post-surgery.He has me add it to a daily morning smoothie of kefir, yogurt, blueberry & pomegranate juices plus a list of probiotics & supplements.So far, so good. Work is still in progress, but acid reflux is way down.

Terrible, faulty packaging. I have been using this Acacia powder daily for bowel issues approximately 3 years. The product appears to be effective. However, the last two bags have been defective. I can't reseal the resealable bag zipper. It is a very fine powder and a 30 oz bag lasts about 6 months. There is no way to easily transfer it. Frustrating.
