Fibertabs, Fiber-ax ... etc ... there are others.
These are convenient indeed and easier to swallow than a glass of psyllium goop. But if memory serves correctly, the amount of fiber listed isn't per tablet, but rather per daily dose of 4 or 6 tablets.
1350mg + 450mg + 450mg = 2250mg, or 2.25 grams of fiber.
For the sake of comparison -
1/2 cup steamed broccoli = 2.5g fiber
8 medium spears asparagus = 2.4g fiber
1 Tbsp psyllium husks = 4g fiber
And Karen is right, fiber supplements should be taken at least one hour away from other supplements or medication, since the fiber might inhibit their absorption.
