Dieters are turning to gummies to combat a rather unpleasant side effect of weight-loss medications: constipation.

Fiber, a plant-based carbohydrate, is essential for healthy digestion — yet most Americans already fall short of the recommended daily intake. For people taking weight-loss medications such as Ozempic or Wegovy, getting enough fiber can be even more challenging.

GLP-1 medications can suppress appetite, making it even more difficult to consume enough fiber each day. A 2025 review found that GLP-1 receptor agonists were associated with several adverse gastrointestinal effects in non-diabetic patients who are overweight or obese. Diarrhea and constipation were among the most common.

However, some GLP-1 users say they’ve found a pretty sweet solution to their digestion troubles: Physician’s Choice Fiber Gummies for GLP-1 Support. The rasberry-lemon flavored chews are priced at just $16 after October Prime Day, and over 50,000 bottles have sold in the past month alone.

Reviewers say these pink gummies offer an easy (and tasty) way to add fiber to their diets and they’re surprisingly effective.

Even with the “delicious” flavor, the plant-based gummies are totally sugar-free and made without artificial sweeteners. Each serving provides 5 grams of prebiotic fiber from chicory root to feed beneficial probiotic bacteria in the gut, and support digestive health and regularity.

To help things “run smoothly,” the brand recommends starting with one gummy and gradually working your way up to the recommended serving. Staying well hydrated is also key.

“I’ve tried several other brands, some cheaper, and these truly work the best,” one reviewer shared. “Especially if you’re on a GLP-1. Give it a week or so, then you’ll be on a regular path. It’s life altering…. Always keep yourself hydrated to help the process of course.”

The gummies are developed alongside doctors, third-party tested for safety, purity and potency, and manufactured in a cGMP-certified facility under strict quality standards.

As with any supplement, be sure to consult your physician prior to use — especially if you have any presisiting health conditions.
