yes I'm new to this and have been hunting for any of the soluble fibre supplements in tablet form in the UK....no luck so far....I've ordered some of the acacia powder, but tablets would be great for taking out and about!

also does anyone know how long it is Ok to take peppermint oil.....just a few months, or indefinately?

As in the peppermint oil caps? You can take those indefinetly.

I'm looking forward to the acacia pills also. I know Heather (and Will ) are working on them.

We are FINALLY making progress on chewable Acacia tablets. *whew!* Our top two flavor contenders right now are mango or green apple. Both are all-natural, and the flavor only comprises about 2-4% of the total ingredients so it's a very tiny amount. But, I'd like it to be very tasty and something that would appeal to lots of people.

So, what do you all think?


What Acacia flavor would you prefer?
Mango
Green Apple

Also, if you have some other specific flavor in mind that you'd really like, let me know that too!

Best,
H

I think mangos taste like spoiled peanuts... but I'm weird that way. What about raspberry?

What about cherry? Is the green apple sour? How about a mint flavor?

I can't wait until the tablets come out. I think I will be more consistant taking the SF. I tend to forget with the powder. Plus it will easier to take with.

Thanks for working on this Heather.

How about the powder inside a capsule to be swallowed rather than a chewable??

I vote mango, and I do love mango.

Also, raspberry or chocolate (wouldn't that be wonderful!).

Mint is probably a bad idea, given the results of the recent post showing how many people also have GERD. WEll, and heck, I'm just plain allergic to it, lol.

I also like the idea of swallowable pills...gosh...I would have thought that would be easier to produce than chewables? Maybe not...

Hopefully by the end of the year? It hasn't been a fast and easy project, but we're plugging away at it.

can you please do an unflavored pill as well for those of use that are fine with strange tastes and would prefer no additives even if they are natural? That would be greatly appreciated.

I like the mango or apple idea enough, though. Just other suggestions.
