I heard about these from a video on YouTube. As a person that benefits a ton from fiber and gets constipated easily on GLP-1s, the fact these have **100%** of your DV of fiber in 1 tortilla has made me never miss my fiber goal again. I’m so regular now, night and day difference. If anyone is having bathroom issues, it’s a near overnight fix
Doing research into the oral bioavailability of SLU (or relative lack thereof) I found out about Hydroxypropyl-Beta-Cyclodextrin, which can bind to the hydrophobic portions of molecules and increase their solubility and absorption.
I decided to go for approximately 70% of a 7:3 ratio of PEG-400 and Ethanol and 30% distilled water, dissolving the SLU in the PEG/Ethanol and the HPβCD in the water separately, then mixing both together. Combining the two at first led to a suspension that would not fully dissolve, but putting the dropper bottle in an ultrasonic cleaner with very warm water fully dissolved everything within 5 minutes.
I have been absolutely blown away with how much better this is working. I’m getting significantly more effect out of a 5mg dose than I previously have with 20-30mg. It was quite the science experiment and took about 45 mins. Without those solvents, an ultrasonic cleaner, and HPβCD on hand it could get a bit complicated and pricy, but it’s been a night and day difference for me in effectiveness.
Does anyone have experience with this combo? Were your overall effects stronger or not? What benefits and side effects did you have?
