Fiber Thin Overview
FiberThin is a product that does not seem to be available at the time of writing. One of the reasons for this may be the fact that the manufacturers of the product, Obesity Research Institute, were investigated and subsequently charged by the FTC for making false claims. The company is no longer allowed to advertise their product or air infomercials. The Fiber Thin website is still online although it appears to be just the home page as the links no longer work. There is some archival information on Fiber Thin still available on certain websites but judging from what was written, the product was not very successful.
Fiber Thin - Product Description
There is no information available as to the ingredients contained in Fiber Thin. It is known that, as the name suggests, it worked by adding fiber to the diet by way of Glucomannan. This is a substance derived from the Konjac root and is used to give a feeling of fullness, by absorbing water and filling the stomach. Whilst it is not known the exact amount of Glucomannan in Fiber Thin, it is known that the addition of fiber in the diet is extremely beneficial for a number of reasons. Not only does it make the user feel full without adding calories, it can also help to lower the ‘bad’ cholesterol levels, reduce blood sugar levels and increase elimination.
Fiber Thin Advantage
- Glucomannan has been shown to give a feeling of fullness and reduce the chance of overeating.
- The addition of fiber to the diet is good for overall health and wellbeing.
Fiber Thin - Drawbacks
- The manufacturers were investigated by the FTC.
- The product was expensive for what was basically just fiber (one website had it listed at $99.80 for a 2 month supply, quantity unknown).
- The official website is no longer functioning.
- The full list of ingredients is not available.
- The recommended dose for Fiber Thin is not known.
Fiber Thin - The Bottom Line
Fiber Thin obviously cannot be recommended due to the fact that it seems to be unavailable, at least for the time being. One independent reviewer did point out that, for much less money, the consumer would be better off to simply take a soluble fiber such as Metamucil. Other professionals have stated that increasing the amounts of fibrous fruits and vegetables would be just as beneficial.
