    Learn more about using Metamucil Capsules as
    a fiber supplement for regularity.





    As a Fiber Supplement
    Metamucil Capsules provide an easy way to increase your daily fiber intake. Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include 7 grams of soluble fiber per day from psyllium husk, as in Metamucil, may reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering cholesterol. One serving of Metamucil Capsules provides 2.4 grams of this soluble fiber.

    Consult a doctor if you are considering using Metamucil Capsules as part of a cholesterol-lowering program.
