HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Triple Fiber by Micro Ingredients

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Fiber Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (8 Gram(s)) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains 3 active ingredients: organic inulin, organic acacia, and organic psyllium husk powder — all types of soluble or insoluble fiber meant to support digestive health. There are no other 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: digestive health and regularity support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Constipation, Diarrhea, bowel regularity, digestive comfort.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Black Psyllium is rated "Effective" for Constipation (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Inulin is rated "Possibly Effective" for Constipation.
  • Also on file: Black Psyllium is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Diarrhea.

Inulin is possibly effective for constipation, obesity, and diabetes based on available evidence. For nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and iron deficiency anemia, the evidence we hold is insufficient to rate how well inulin works.

The effectiveness of acacia and psyllium husk in this product isn't covered in the data we have on file.

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, but it commonly causes gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, and stomach cramps — especially at doses over 30 grams. These side effects are most common when you first start taking it.

Very rarely, inulin may trigger a serious allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) in people sensitive to it. Because concentrated fiber supplements haven't been studied as thoroughly as food amounts, talk to your doctor before using this product, particularly if you have digestive concerns.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Black Psyllium Inulin

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Black Psyllium, Inulin.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications; heart-rhythm medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 2,054 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you take antidiabetes drugs (medications that lower blood sugar), double-check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product — inulin may theoretically increase the risk of low blood sugar. We were unable to check the other two fiber ingredients in this blend for drug interactions.

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you're looking to boost your fiber intake and don't take antidiabetes drugs, this product is generally well tolerated — just expect some digestive adjustment like bloating or gas at first. If you take any blood sugar medication, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it.

Either way, it's worth a conversation with your own healthcare provider to make sure it's right for you.

Ingredients driving the most interactions

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Organic Triple Fiber 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

organic 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.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D

Organic Triple Fiber by Micro Ingredients: Common Questions

Does Organic Triple Fiber by Micro Ingredients interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Organic Triple Fiber 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?
Organic Triple Fiber contains 4 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 give me gas and bloating?
Probably, especially when you first start taking it. Inulin commonly causes flatulence, bloating, and stomach cramps, and the effect tends to be worse at higher doses. Start low and increase gradually to let your digestive system adjust.
Is it safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Inulin is likely safe in pregnancy and while breastfeeding. However, we don't have pregnancy or breastfeeding safety data on file for the acacia or psyllium husk in this blend, so check with your doctor or pharmacist before using it while pregnant or nursing.
Does inulin actually help with diabetes?
The evidence says inulin is possibly effective for diabetes — some research shows it improves blood sugar control, but it's not yet clear whether it actually lowers blood sugar on its own. If you have diabetes, talk to your doctor before using this supplement.
What's inulin supposed to do?
Inulin is a type of fiber that may help with constipation, weight management, and blood sugar control. It feeds beneficial bacteria in your gut, which is why it can cause temporary digestive side effects like gas and bloating.
Can this cause an allergic reaction?
Very rarely. Inulin can trigger anaphylaxis (a serious allergic reaction) in people who are sensitive to it, though this is uncommon. If you have known food allergies or inulin sensitivity, avoid this product.
