Metamucil® Strong Bones Capsules give you healthy fiber and are an excellent source of calcium.
Just one serving provides as much calcium as an 8-ounce glass of milk (nondairy source). Add healthy fiber to your diet to help lower cholesterol* and get the calcium you need to build strong bones.
* As part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol
Metamucil provides 100% natural fiber, in the form of psyllium husk, to help promote and maintain regularity.
Can be used for occasional constipation.
For Cholesterol Lowering and Heart Health
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 Plus Calcium provides 2.1 grams of this soluble fiber.
For Bone Health**
Diets high in calcium throughout life can help build strong bones.
Adequate calcium in a healthful diet is important for bone health in teen and adult women along with a regular exercise program or regimen.
For Gastrointestinal Function**
A healthy diet including fiber, such as psyllium, may help support GI function.
