How Much Fiber Do You Really Need?

About this video

In this short clip, the speaker states recommended daily fiber amounts and contrasts them with what people actually consume. He says it is recommended women have at least 25 grams of fiber a day and men 35 grams, while the amount people actually get is something like 12 to 15 grams. He notes people are therefore off by roughly a factor of two in fiber intake, and suggests that, minimally, supplements could help bring that amount up.

Key takeaways

• The speaker says recommended fiber is at least 25 grams a day for women and 35 grams for men.
• The speaker says typical intake is only about 12 to 15 grams a day.
