Lafe City family what is up it is my man
art and I back in the kitchen for a
video all about the best fiber
supplements on the market because if you
remember the other week we did the video
for the top 10 foods to eat for
constipation relief if you haven't seen
that video go check it out after this
video is done there's a ton of great
knowledge in there and in that video I
said hey do you guys want to see a part
2 of that video no pun intended about
the best supplements on the market y'all
said yes
so I went to a few different stores and
ordered on Amazon some of the best
supplements on the market including ones
that fall under inulin or prebiotics
psyllium husk and a methyl cellulose and
for the most part a lot of them are good
but where the pitfall is the other
ingredients and I really am stressing
that especially with supplements you got
to read the other ingredients cuz that's
usually where the Devils in the detail
so we're gonna go through all that stuff
right now before we get rocking around
then you know the drill like subscribe
share all of those things our brand but
there is a bell icon right below the
video and enable all notifications and
make sure your YouTube notifications are
enabled on your phone because every week
we have about 2 to 3 videos going live
and 3 live streams where we make a
recipe from start to finish it's a lot
of fun so why don't we start with what's
called prebiotics or inulin these are
actually very important I oftentimes
talk about foods that are prebiotics and
high in fiber because prebiotics will
feed that gut bacteria in your tummy and
before I forget there is an amazing
documentary on Amazon Prime video called
it takes guts it takes guts on Amazon
Prime video it's really all about your
gut flora and how they're learning so
much more about it and it really is in
your best interest to foster those gut
bacteria and that's what inulin or
prebiotics do one of the best ones on
the market I didn't buy it because it's
so garbage is fiber choice so it is an
in Ulan prebiotic based supplement which
is great but if you read the other
ingredients which I'm putting on the
screen right now that's where the
pitfall is you have natural and
artificial flavors natural flavors that
can maybe get away with because I'm
noticing that and a lot of supplements
artificial flavors major nono because
they put some bad stuff in there they're
also putting food coloring in there into
the tune of red number forty Lake blue
number
- that's not the kind of stuff you want
to get luckily there are a couple really
good prebiotics on the market and this
is one of them this is a go bio tics
available on Amazon and it's a prebiotic
so once again prebiotics really feed the
gut bacteria and this one has a great
blend of nutria flora what are the other
ingredients nada
nice dough none that's what you want to
see so this would be a great place to
start for a prebiotic can't get it on in
the stores it's only on Amazon I'll put
the links for the stuff I talked about
for Amazon down below there is another
one that's really good too it's made by
a bullet-proof who make fantastic
products it's called inter fuel
prebiotic another one that's super clean
and has really really good nutritional
information and by the way if you're
worried about keto or carbs those two
have zero net carbs because how do you
calculate net carbs you subtract fiber
from carbs so it's zero a great place to
start now we'll start going into other
things like the psyllium husk or the
Metamucil and the methyl cellulose I
just got back from Target and I got two
of the more popular ones on the market
this is a psyllium husk based one
Metamucil probably the most popular one
on the market and I think a lot of
people will gravitate towards this
because they'll see their sugar free now
on its own the psyllium husk fiber is
great this is a great supplement but
what I don't like in my personal opinion
is the other ingredients so psyllium
husk
great maltodextrin Multi dextran is a
food preservative it also is high in the
glycemic index because it's derived from
corn unless it says tapioca maltodextrin
or rice maltodextrin which is this one
doesn't say it's from corn so there's
GMO corn malted extra in here I don't
mind the citric acid that's purely there
just to make it Tangier but once again
natural and artificial orange flavor
that's because they make it orange and
aspartame aspartame is another word for
NutraSweet it's fake sugar and yellow
number five so that's something I would
really avoid why well a lot of those
ingredients are really bad for us but I
really get mad when I see fake sugars
like aspartame or sook
sucralose is another word also for a
Splenda because those unlike stevia monk
fruit stuff like that they're man-made
chemically made sugars that are really
bad for your stomach but they also trick
your brain into craving more sweets
I'd much rather they use stevia but
still with the multi dextran and the
artificial flavors and the yellow food
coloring not something you want to get
um this is available at Target - and
this is not bad this is a benefiber and
the cool thing about this is there's no
other ingredients here so you see what
it is
benefiber is another word for a wheat
and dextran and even though it's derived
from a wheat it's a hundred percent
gluten free but I think you can do
better but if you just want something at
Target or let the grocery store this is
probably the best you can get now I
think you can do better and what do I
mean by that well we go on Amazon I
didn't want to order everything because
these supplement halls get very
expensive but my boys over garden of
life Garden of Life they always make
some of the best supplements on the
market they make raw organic superfood
fibre constipation relief and while I
said this one here is decent because it
just has a wheat dextran you can do
better what do I mean look at the
ingredients organic flax seeds Organic
amaranth quinoa Chia that rings a bell
if you haven't seen yet the constipation
relief video I talked about all of those
ingredients being great fiber potent
ingredients that help induce bowel
movements and there's great products
food products in the store like Flacco's
chia seed pudding which are great
they're putting it in here and it's a
hundred percent organic which is really
cool and you keep saying pumpkin seeds
sesame seeds sunflower seeds that is
what you want to see I approve that
message that's really good stuff okay
then I know a lot of people out there
say yeah but Bobby I don't like powders
I need capsules well the good news is
you have to go on Amazon you can't go in
the store because here's a capsule
product this was the Target brand this
is all I could find
and it says compared to Metamucil multi
health fiber and you really see this is
tricky there's so much stuff here you
guys and there is psyllium husk in here
I'm totally fine with that but you keep
going it's like it's a neverending story
here and we look right here and we see
in addition to the psyllium husk there
is polysorbate 80 that in my opinion is
a very nasty preservative i've only
usually seen that in very cheap deli
meat but then we see caramel coloring
caramel coloring is actually a known
carcinogen the reason they put it in
here is to make the color of the
supplement darker it's purely for visual
purposes and then edible ink I mean I'm
sure that's safe some people might not
say it is but I don't want that in there
so they're just doing that so it looks
darker here so what do you do you just
go on Amazon they have a great selection
of capsules that don't have any of the
rubbish in there I look at one right
here probably one of the most
recognizable names and supplements now
they have psyllium husk caps that have
no other ingredients and what I like
about them and I learned this because
you guys is that the coating on the
actual capsule is a vegetable based a
lot of times they'll have like bovine
coverings and I noticed a lot with like
gum like beef sausages at the market
they'll have pig casings and I get so
much feedback from either kosher or
halal fans like oh why don't they have
that so I learned about kind of looking
out for that kind of stuff that's what
you want to go so I'd go with those I'll
put the link down below much much
cleaner alternative I hate the fact that
you have to only order it online they
don't have it in the store but that's
the way it is and then we talk about
Chuy's I get so many requests about
chewy vitamins because a lot of people
including adults can't take powders and
they don't like pills you guys I
actually need some help here because I
can't find one fibre chewy on the market
that is even close to Bobby approved if
you watched our multivitamin video the
other week I did I found a great one
from garden of life if you want to learn
more about multi vitamins vitamins watch
that one when this is done but here's
pretty much par for the course this was
at Target tarjay also by diffusion fiber
well sugar free gummies and once again
people might see sugar-free they're like
great I'm gonna take that because a lot
of these do have sugar the problem is
this is very hard to read here oh my god
see ok poly dextrose which is the kind
of sugar but it's still technically a
sugar free but we go after that the
sugar-free sweetener is sorbitol
cervidil is another one of those mad
sweeteners kind of like xylitol or
aspartame we keep going a blend of oils
why did they put oil in here they do it
on the outside of the chewy it's coconut
and or palm well I'm okay with coconut
I'm not okay with the highly processed
oil poem I'd rather see sunflower oil
like I saw with the other Chuy's last
week and then we keep reading here and
we see natural flavors and then more
fake sugar sucralose or Splenda so this
is not something you want to eat but you
guys I can't find actually a bobby of
proof fiber chewy so if you know of one
and listen I'm okay with natural flavors
and this kind of stuff but I can't find
ones that don't have the other bad oils
or fake sugar or too much cane sugar so
I'll keep looking and if I find it in
between now and when the video comes out
tomorrow I'll put it down below
hopefully we'll get an update but then
also I think like Dessie bakes with a
lot of psyllium husk for her paleo
breads because psyllium husk and this is
a great brand right here this is Viva
natural and it's actually organic which
it doesn't have to be because they're
made from seeds which are not really
dirty per se but des uses psyllium husk
in her pantheon bread recipes to make
them more elastic to kind of give them
that gluten e texture you can also use
this if you read the back of this it
just says put a teaspoon one two to
three times daily and eight ounces of
water and this would be a great psyllium
hustling thats pure it's clean but
doesn't have any of those nasty
sweeteners or colors in there so luckily
it's pretty easy to spot the the winners
from the pretenders out there but I
really want you guys to go clean avoid
the excessive additional ingredients
fake sugar and caramel coloring and food
coloring homey don't play that game so
all those links are down below I hope
this video helped you out
we're gonna keep researching more ideas
for you guys hopefully one day soon we
can get back into the grocery store aka
our second home but that is it like
subscribe share the only way this
channel keeps growing like it has is
