I used a COSTCO Kirkland-branded version of these capsules to increase fiber, and possibly lower cholesterol (which is suggested on the label). Multiple caps are required several times a day. Whether causal or not, (taken along with a reasonably already-high fiber diet) I experienced constipation over a period of 10 days. Several sessions of liquid (Fleet) enema resulted in 4 bowel movements, each of which contained multiple Type 1 (Bristol Stool scale) nuggets of stool. These nuggets, when rinsed, contained oblong, 1/2" to 3/4" stools which were remarkably similar in size to the capsules. As a result I recommend anyone taking such capsules to only take them with food and plenty of water. Read More Read Less
