What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 5 of its 5 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Nutrilite Fiber Powder has 4 active ingredients: soluble fiber, inulin, digestion resistant maltodextrin, and partially hydrolyzed guar gum. These are all types of dietary fiber designed to support digestive function.

The product contains no inactive ingredients listed.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Strong

Clinical evidence supports at least one of this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: support gastrointestinal health and regularity.
  • We looked for evidence on: Constipation, Digestive health, Gut microbiome, Prebiotic support.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Black Psyllium is rated "Effective" for Constipation (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Inulin is rated "Possibly Effective" for Constipation.

Inulin, one of the fiber sources here, is possibly effective for obesity, constipation, and diabetes management based on the data we hold. For nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and iron deficiency anemia, the evidence isn't established well enough to rate it.

The other fiber ingredients' effectiveness isn't documented in our data.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Black Psyllium Inulin

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Inulin is generally well tolerated at food amounts, but concentrated supplement doses aren't as well studied — talk to your doctor before using this product if you have concerns. The most common side effects are bloating, constipation, diarrhea, flatulence, and stomach cramps, especially at doses above 30 grams.

Anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction) from inulin is rare but has been reported. All of these gastrointestinal effects tend to be worse when you start at higher doses.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Fiber Powder with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Dietary Fiber7 drug types · 2,025 drugs

Carbamazepine (Tegretol)

Theoretically, black psyllium might reduce the effects of carbamazepine and increase the risk for convulsions.
Theoretically, black psyllium might reduce carbamazepine absorption. A preliminary study using blond psyllium reported decreased carbamazepine bioavailability due to binding of the drug to psyllium, as well as reduction of available fluid in the gut for dissolution of the drug. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as lithium might reduce lithium absorption.
The fiber in black psyllium might reduce lithium absorption and plasma levels. Some case reports describe a reduction in plasma lithium levels with concomitant administration of blond psyllium. This was reversed when psyllium was stopped. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Metformin (Glucophage)

Theoretically, black psyllium might increase the therapeutic and adverse effects of metformin.
Animal research shows that concurrent consumption of blond psyllium with metformin slows and increases the absorption of metformin. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium. To avoid changes in absorption, take psyllium 30-60 minutes after metformin.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Olanzapine (Zyprexa)

Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as olanzapine might reduce olanzapine absorption.
The fiber in black psyllium might decrease the absorption of olanzapine. A single case report describes a reduction in the effectiveness of olanzapine when it was concomitantly administered with an unspecified type of psyllium 3 grams orally twice daily. This effect was reversed when psyllium was stopped.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as digoxin might reduce digoxin absorption and decrease digoxin levels.
Psyllium might bind digoxin in the gut. However, some clinical evidence suggests that psyllium does not impact digoxin absorption.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B
Ethinyl Estradiol

Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as ethinyl estradiol might alter levels of estradiol.
Concurrent use of blond psyllium with ethinyl estradiol results in a slight increase in the extent of ethinyl estradiol absorption and a slower rate of absorption. This is unlikely to be clinically significant.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Oral Drugs

Theoretically, psyllium might increase, decrease, or have no effect on the absorption of oral drugs.
Psyllium seems to have variable effects on drug absorption. To avoid changes in absorption, take psyllium 30-60 minutes after oral medications. Animal research shows that blond psyllium delays and increases the absorption of metformin and ethinyl estradiol. Case reports and animal research suggest that blond psyllium might reduce absorption of lithium, digoxin, olanzapine, and carbamazepine. Finally, some pharmacokinetic studies show that psyllium does not affect the absorption of levothyroxine or warfarin. Although many of these studies evaluated blond psyllium, the fiber content in black psyllium may have similar effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Dietary Fiber full monograph & interactions

Inulin1 drug type · 86 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, inulin might increase the risk of hypoglycemia with antidiabetes drugs.
Some clinical research shows that inulin improves glycemic control in patients with diabetes; however, it is unclear if it has hypoglycemic effects.

Fiber Powder by Nutrilite: Common Questions

Does Fiber Powder by Nutrilite interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Fiber Powder has a known interaction with 2,053 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Fiber Powder contains 5 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Will this help with constipation?
Inulin, one of the fibers in this product, is possibly effective for constipation. That said, fiber supplements can also cause constipation in some people, especially if you don't drink enough water or start at too high a dose. Start low and go slow, and stay hydrated.
What are the side effects I should expect?
Bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, and stomach cramps are the most common — inulin causes these more often at higher doses, especially above 30 grams. A very rare but serious side effect is anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction). Most people adjust after their gut gets used to it.
Is it safe to use while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Inulin is likely safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding based on the data we have. That said, any supplement decision in pregnancy should be discussed with your OB or midwife to make sure it fits your individual situation.
Can I use this if I have diabetes?
Inulin might theoretically lower your blood sugar when combined with diabetes medication, raising the risk of low blood sugar. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting — they can monitor you and adjust your diabetes medication if needed.
How much fiber is in one serving?
The product facts don't specify the fiber amount per serving, so check the nutrition label on the package or contact the manufacturer for that detail.
