🧪 Formulation Notes

Psyllium, nature's super fiber For centuries, psyllium husk has been used in traditional medicine to promote health. Once a year, the psyllium seed is gathered from Plantago ovata, a plant grown in India. These seeds are then stone ground to harvest the husk (outer layer) which is the source of the psyllium super fiber in Metamucil. Today, psyllium is known as one of the most effective fibers for maintaining regular digestive health, but it does so much more.

Taken daily, Metamucil super fiber also helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels and supports heart health by lowering cholesterol.
