Why is the three-pack more than six times the price of the one-pack per unit? Is it a tax on people who don't do the math?

You’re most likely looking at the pack where each container has 220 gummies rather than this product that only has 90 in the container.

Any artificial sweeteners?

This supplement contains two forms of sweetener, xylitol and sucralose. Xylitol is a sugar alcohol, so that is what the nutrion chart is referring to when it says there is "<1 g" of that. However, less than 1 gram it may be, but it's enough to bring the carbohydrate total up to 6g when added to the 5g of fiber. And it's the next ingredient in the list right after gelatin, which there is clearly a lot of since these are, after all, gummies. And note "aritificial" sweeteners ARE sugar, just different forms of sugar. They "work" by the sugar parts of them being sweeter than standard table sugar, so you can use less of them to achieve basically the same level of sweet flavor, so they are "healthier" (the jury is still out on that one) simply by virtue of there being less net carbs overall. And sugar alcohols specifically are actually far less effective in that regard than ACTUAL artificial sweeteners (sugar alcohols actually aren't artificial, xylitol is naturally found in many fruits). But don't let anyone fool you on this, it's STILL SUGAR with everything that brings with it. Many "sugar free" things, especially candies and gummies, use xylitol to sweeten them, just so they can get away with saying it's "sugar free" purely on a technicality. Xylitol is actually still 60% equivalent to table sugar, with 60% of its calories (so 1g of xylitol is equivalent to 0.6g "sugar"[sucrose]). At the very END of the nutrition label, however, is sucralose. That amount, or lack thereof, is a lot more normal for that, as a much more normal "artificial" sweetener, as far as those that people think of when they hear the term. Sucralose is the active ingredient in Splenda that gives it its sweetness.

There are 2 labels shown (they've changed the branding, but either could ship). But one label says 4g fiber, the other says 5g -- what gives?

Thank you for your question. The fiber content was reduced slightly for optimal product performance. Since we recently made this change, you may receive our previous version which contains 5g, or our updated version which contains 4g.

What type of gelatin does it have?

If an ingredient states 'gelatin' I would assume that it is animal derived unless the product is specifically labeled as vegan. This product does not state it is vegan. Agar agar is derived from seaweed and is used in vegan products instead of animal-derived gelatin because it is similar 'gelling' properties when used in food. I have seen at least one other fiber/prebiotic gummie here on Amazon that uses agar agar instead of gelatin: https://smile.amazon.com/Fiber-Choice-Prebiotic-Supplement-Gummies/dp/B09MZQNHND/
