Below is general information about the safety of the known ingredients contained in the product Liquid Fiber Lemon-Lime Flavored. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
LIKELY SAFE ...when used orally in amounts commonly found in foods. Inulin has Generally Recognized As Safe status (GRAS) in the US (93728).
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when used orally and appropriately in supplemental doses, short-term. Doses of 8-18 grams daily have been used safely for up to 24 weeks (7604,7605,7606,7607,8451,93716,93719,93726,103200,107936,107935,107938). Also, 20 grams daily has been used with apparent safety for up to 3 weeks (96836,96850). There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of inulin when used long-term.
CHILDREN: LIKELY SAFE
when used orally in amounts commonly found in foods.
Inulin has Generally Recognized As Safe status (GRAS) in the US (93728).
CHILDREN: POSSIBLY SAFE
when used orally and appropriately in supplemental doses, short-term.
Clinical studies have used doses of 3-6 grams daily for 10 days in children 3-6 years of age and 5-13 grams daily for up to 6 months in children 7-15 years of age with apparent safety (96847,110598,110602). ...when used in infant formula. A formula containing chicory fructans (Orafti Synergy1, BENEO GmbH), approximately 50% of which were inulin, has been used with apparent safety in infants for 8-12 months (93717,107937).
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION: LIKELY SAFE
when used orally in amounts commonly found in foods (93728).
There is insufficient reliable information available about using inulin in medicinal amounts during pregnancy or lactation; avoid use.
LIKELY SAFE ...when used orally as a food additive. Polydextrose is considered by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be safe when used as a food additive, provided a single serving contains less than 15 grams (26210).
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when used orally and appropriately in divided doses up to 50 grams daily for 12 weeks (27193,34118,98658,98659,106478). However, polydextrose can have laxative effects when taken orally in doses greater than 90 grams daily or greater than 50 grams as a single dose (27193,106478).
POSSIBLY UNSAFE ...when used orally in higher doses. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has determined that there is no need for an acceptable daily intake of polydextrose when used as a food additive (106478). However, polydextrose can have laxative effects when taken orally in doses greater than 90 grams daily or greater than 50 grams as a single dose (27193,106478).
CHILDREN: POSSIBLY SAFE
when used orally and appropriately.
Polydextrose appears to be safe for infants when administered at doses of 2-4 grams per liter of formula and for children aged 4-8 years when administered at doses of about 4 grams daily. While some studies show no adverse effects of polydextrose, others suggest a potential for increased abdominal pain, diarrhea, and eczema (26709,27200,106482).
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION:
Insufficient reliable information available; avoid using.

Theoretically, inulin might increase the risk of hypoglycemia with antidiabetes drugs.

Immunologic ...Severe allergic reactions to inulin-containing foods have been reported. There is one report of anaphylaxis following consumption of foods with a high concentration of inulin including salsify, artichoke leaves, and margarine (7608).

Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Bloating, diarrhea, gas.
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, polydextrose may cause gas, bloating, and loose stools (27194,27208,27212). These adverse effects are more common when single doses of more than 50 grams or daily doses of more than 90 grams are used. Higher doses of polydextrose (90 grams/day or more) may also cause transient diarrhea in some people (27193).
Neurologic/CNS ...Orally, one participant in one clinical study complained of transient dizziness after eating yogurt containing polydextrose 12. 5 grams (98660).
