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 9 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (6 Gram(s)) without saying how much of each component you get.

Whole Food Fiber has 8 ingredients, including a proprietary blend whose components are listed below it. The active fiber sources are rice bran, organic beet, apple pectin, oat fiber, organic carrot, beet fiber, carrot fiber, and organic sweet potato.

There are no inactive other 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: heart disease risk reduction with soluble fiber.
  • We looked for evidence on: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Coronary heart disease (CHD), Dyslipidemia, Hypercholesterolemia, Atherosclerosis, Lipid management — and 1 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Black Psyllium is rated "Likely Effective" for Coronary heart disease (CHD) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Pectin is rated "Possibly Effective" for Hypercholesterolemia.
  • Also on file: Rice Bran is rated "Possibly Effective" for Dyslipidemia.

Rice bran is possibly effective for high cholesterol (dyslipidemia), though it was found possibly ineffective for colorectal cancer prevention. Beet and its fiber form are possibly effective for athletic performance and exercise-induced muscle soreness.

Apple pectin is possibly effective for high cholesterol, and carrot and its fiber form are possibly effective for vitamin A deficiency. Evidence is insufficient to rate these ingredients for other uses like prediabetes, cognitive function, or various cancers.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Black Psyllium Rice Bran Beet Pectin Carrot

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 5 of the 5 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 5 of 5.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 5 of 5.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Rice bran is generally well tolerated, though concentrated supplements have less safety data than the food itself—increasing bran in your diet can cause temporary abdominal discomfort, gas, and changes in bowel habits, especially at first. Rare serious allergic reactions including anaphylaxis have been reported.

Beet is widely eaten as food and generally well tolerated, but concentrated supplements lack safety data; you may see red or black stools, which is harmless. Pectin and carrot seem well tolerated in typical amounts, though rare allergic reactions are possible.

Beet and carrot lack sufficient data on use in pregnancy and breastfeeding; pectin is likely safe in pregnancy and possibly safe while breastfeeding.

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?
  • 3 of the 5 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Black Psyllium, Beet, Pectin.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: heart-rhythm medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 2,088 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.

Check with your pharmacist if you take lovastatin, tetracycline antibiotics, or digoxin—pectin may reduce how much you absorb. Blood pressure medications warrant discussion, though clinical evidence is mixed.

Any drug your liver processes through CYP3A4 should be reviewed, as beet may raise its level. Use the search tool to verify your specific medications.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Whole Food 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
Dietary Fiber full monograph & interactions

organic Beet3 drug types · 861 drugs

Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, beet might increase the levels of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that betanin, the major pigment in beet, competitively inhibits CYP3A4 in a dose-dependent manner similarly to strong CYP3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Beet and beetroot contain nitrates, which can cause vasodilation, potentially leading to lower blood pressure. However, a study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition using concentrated beetroot juice found no significant impact on blood pressure or heart rate in different age groups. Other small clinical studies suggest that while beet consumption might transiently lower blood pressure due to vessel dilation, there's no consistent evidence of a lasting effect. Overall, the theoretical risk of reduced blood pressure due to beet's nitrate content exists, but studies generally indicate a low and temporary impact rather than a sustained decrease.

Likelihood Possible Evidence A
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, beet might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that beet induces CYP1A2 enzymes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
organic Beet full monograph & interactions

Apple Pectin3 drug types · 23 drugs

Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Theoretically, pectin might reduce the absorption of digoxin, potentially decreasing its effectiveness.
A small clinical study shows that taking digoxin with a kaolin-pectin suspension reduces the absorption of digoxin by about 62%. It is unclear if these effects are due to pectin, kaolin, or the combination.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Lovastatin (Mevacor)

Theoretically, pectin might reduce the absorption of lovastatin, potentially decreasing its effectiveness.
Case reports suggest that concomitant use of pectin and lovastatin might reduce the cholesterol-lowering effect of lovastatin, possibly due to reduced intestinal absorption of lovastatin.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Tetracycline Antibiotics

Theoretically, pectin might reduce the absorption of tetracycline antibiotics, potentially decreasing their effectiveness.
A small clinical study shows that taking tetracycline with bismuth subsalicylate in a kaolin-pectin suspension reduces the absorption of tetracycline by about 34%. It is unclear if these effects are due to pectin, kaolin, bismuth subsalicylate, or the combination.

Whole Food Fiber by SP Standard Process: Common Questions

Does Whole Food Fiber by SP Standard Process interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Whole Food Fiber has a known interaction with 2,087 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Whole Food Fiber contains 9 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 cause digestive upset?
A little, especially when you start. Bran can cause temporary bloating, gas, and soft stools as your gut adjusts. Start with a smaller serving and increase gradually. Red or black stools from the beet are harmless and not a sign of bleeding.
Is it safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Rice bran is likely safe in pregnancy. Pectin is likely safe in pregnancy and possibly safe while breastfeeding, but carrot and beet lack enough data to say. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor for personalized advice—they can weigh the benefit of fiber for you.
Can someone with a food allergy take this?
If you're allergic to carrot, rice, apples, beets, or oats, this product isn't for you. Even pectin can rarely cause allergic reactions. If you have any food allergies, run the ingredient list by your pharmacist first.
Is there enough fiber in this to actually work?
The product facts don't tell us the dose per serving, so I can't say whether it'll meet your daily fiber needs. Check the label for grams per serving and talk with us about how much you need based on your diet.
Why does the label list beet and beet fiber separately?
They're in the proprietary blend, so they're listed once at the top and then broken out individually below. You're getting both the whole beet ingredient and its fiber form in one product.
