How Much Fiber Is Healthy For Me?

How Much Fiber Is Too Much?

Figuring out what amount of fiber is the right amount for your body can be confusing, but Prevention Magazine recommends 20 to 35 grams daily. The fiber can come from various sources, like whole grains, beans, fruit, vegetables or even fiber supplements. If you take in more than 35 grams of fiber daily, you run the risk of absorbing less of important minerals such as zinc, iron, and calcium. So, just keep in mind, too much of a good thing can cause some problems.
