Kirkland Signature Fiber Capsules Review

Across the stores that sell it, Kirkland Signature Fiber Capsules carries about 7,430 ratings, and feedback leans positive, with roughly two in three star ratings at 4 or 5. Buyers like the convenience and price, while a vocal minority object to an ingredient change, and some Walmart-sold listings had a shipping problem. I left out reviews of the powder and other forms and cover the capsules only. **What buyers say it did for them:** Most praise is for simple, reliable fiber. One buyer says it is an "easy way to add fiber," and another reports being "very happy with the results." The eBay page adds that buyers say it works as well as Metamucil or better, and one says it helps with digestion and cholesterol. One recent eBay buyer, a week in, could not yet tell how well it worked. **What they complain about:** The biggest complaint is the ingredient list. One reviewer says it is "No longer pure" and cites emulsifiers, including polysorbate-80. Another asks Costco to "bring back the previous formula." Others dispute this: one says the company "made changes taking it back" to psyllium husk and gelatin only, and another buyer reports seeing only those two ingredients. The reviews conflict, so check the label on the package you receive. One reviewer links the product to a histamine sensitivity with swelling in the hands, and says similar products from other brands caused no trouble. That is a single report. On Walmart, several buyers of a two-pack received only one container: "only one container received instead of 2." One said customer service was helpful, and another got a refund. Availability is a smaller issue, as one Costco reviewer could not find the capsules in store after shelves were reduced. **Taste, smell, pill size or form:** The capsule form is the main draw. Reviewers switched from mixing powder because capsules are "much more convenient" and easier to take daily. The eBay page adds that one buyer dislikes chewing or drinking liquid fiber. One reviewer who bought the powder by mistake called it "very time consuming." The store summaries and reviews offer no detail on capsule size or smell. One Walmart reviewer mentions a sugar-free orange taste, which seems to refer to the powder. A reviewer who takes them notes you "must take with water or you can choke." **Value for money:** Price is a consistent strength. Reviewers call it "such a good deal compared to the name brand" and say Walmart/Kirkland "had the best price" against other store brands. The Costco summary describes the price as good and quality high. On eBay, buyers praise value for the quantity, say the capsules last a long time, and one finds more product in the bottle than Metamucil. **Who it seems to suit and who it did not:** It suits people who want daily fiber without mixing powder, and price-conscious buyers moving off name brands. Some take one capsule three times a day, others two or three before meals, and one takes five daily. It suited people less if they want to avoid additives such as emulsifiers, if they are sensitive to the product (as the histamine reviewer was), or if they order a multipack from the Walmart third-party seller and risk getting one container.
