They make you regular. Ya know... they make you so you poop in a regular pattern and so you don't get constipated or get diahrea.

They are taken for two different things, and I will desctibe both.
1. taken as a laxative.
2. taken 25-30 minutes before eating as an appetite suppressant.
When you take a fiber supplement drink at least 8 ounces of water to make the fiber bulk up and expand.

They stop your irregularity. It isn't good to take laxitives because they are not natural, and they can make the situation worse after it helps. Tablets are usually natural and should be taken daily to help. They aren't as extreme as laxatives. I hope this helps.

They add fiber to someones diet who is not getting enough. This will help to make their bowl movements easier. It basically keeps you regular in your bowl movements.

Make you "regular." As they say, they "bulk up" your stools.
