Steps:
- Put two 50-count silicone gummy bear molds on a baking sheet and lightly spray with nonstick spray.
- Combine the flavored gelatin powder, unflavored gelatin powder, 1 tablespoon of the citric acid and 1/2 cup cold water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring frequently so that the sugar does not stick to the bottom of the saucepan, about 4 minutes. Do not boil.
- Pour the mixture into a small liquid measuring cup. With a spoon, skim off any bubbles that have formed. Carefully fill the molds and gently shake to ensure the mixture settles to the bottom. Refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours.
- Combine the sugar and remaining 1 tablespoon citric acid in a medium bowl. Carefully remove the gummy bears from the molds and toss in the sugar mixture. Enjoy immediately.

GUMMY CANDIES
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Prepare the candy molds by making sure they are clean and dry. Spray them with a very light coating of nonstick cooking spray. Place the molds on a baking sheet.
- Combine the unflavored gelatin, flavored gelatin, and cold water in a small saucepan. Slowly whisk everything together until well combined and the gelatin has dissolved. Although you might feel tempted to mix vigorously, the less air you incorporate the better, so the gummies set without air bubbles.
- Place the saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Continue to whisk occasionally while the mixture heats up, and the gelatins melt and become liquid, about 4 minutes.
- Once the gummy mixture is fully liquid, remove the pan from the heat and pour the gelatin into a measuring cup or a similar container with a spout.
- Carefully fill each cavity of the mold with gelatin. Transfer the baking sheet with the candy molds to the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes so the gummy candies can fully set.
- Once the candies are set, remove the gummies by carefully pushing the sides of the candy away from the edges of the mold and toward the center, then pull them up and out of the molds.

Tips:
- Use a high-quality fiber supplement: Look for a supplement that is made from a soluble fiber, such as psyllium husk or acacia fiber. These fibers are known to be effective in promoting regularity and reducing cholesterol levels.
- Start with a low dose and gradually increase it: This will help to avoid side effects such as gas and bloating. A good starting dose is 1-2 gummies per day. You can increase the dose by 1-2 gummies every few days until you reach the desired effect.
- Drink plenty of water: Fiber absorbs water, so it is important to drink plenty of water when taking fiber gummies. Aim for 8-10 glasses of water per day.
- Take the gummies at the same time each day: This will help to ensure that you are getting a consistent dose of fiber.
- Be patient: It may take a few weeks for the fiber gummies to start working. Don't get discouraged if you don't see results immediately. Just keep taking the gummies as directed and you will eventually start to see a difference.
Conclusion:
Fiber gummies are a delicious and convenient way to increase your intake of fiber. They are a good option for people who have difficulty swallowing pills or capsules. Fiber gummies can help to improve regularity, reduce cholesterol levels, and promote a healthy weight. If you are looking for a way to improve your overall health, fiber gummies are a great option.
