On a GLP-1? Fiber Is Your Friend—Here Are a Dietitian's Favorite Fiber Supplements
Still, it’s important to incorporate whole-food sources of fiber, too. “Relying solely on supplements may mean missing out on additional nutrients naturally found in fiber-rich foods, including vitamin C, B vitamins, plant-based omega-3 fats, and antioxidants,” says Brittany Brown, RD, who is based in Nova Scotia, Canada.
With all of that in mind, I’ve assembled this guide to fiber supplements for GLP-1 support. It includes fiber supplements hand-picked by me and fellow registered dietitians, along with a guide to the different types of fiber, the benefits of fiber for GLP-1 users, and how to use fiber supplements safely and effectively.

How Can You Increase Your Fiber Intake With No Side Effects?
A word of caution: If you’re not used to eating the daily recommended amount of fiber, don’t go for it all at once. This could lead to some serious digestive misery. Instead, start slowly and gradually increase your fiber intake.
According to Vocca, when initiating a fiber supplement, you should start with the minimum dose and increase your daily fiber intake by only 5 g per week. In addition, drinking enough water is key to preventing gas, bloating, and constipation from fiber supplements. Aim for at least 8 cups of water daily to help prevent discomfort.
