Hi - Acacia has been used for centuries, and it's long been recognized by the FDA as a safe ingredient for foods and beverages. If you check the ingredients of a lot of foods and such you're already eating, it's in there (Altoids, for example). It's also called gum arabic. Like all soluble fibers, there are only health benefits to its use, and no risks, so you can safely take it every day forever, just as you could safely eat rice every day forever.

There's detailed info about Acacia here Acacia
