USES
Unlike harsh chemical laxatives, Metamucil Fiber Wafers are a concentrated source of 100% natural psyllium fiber. Fiber Wafers work with your body to treat occasional constipation and restore regularity. Metamucil can be used as a daily source of soluble fiber to maintain regularity when recommended by a doctor.
DIETARY FIBER SUPPLEMENT: 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 ADULT dose of Metamucil has 2.4 grams of this soluble fiber.
Metamucil Fiber Wafers also offer multiple health benefits. Metamucil is clinically proven to help lower blood cholesterol levels, and helps people with diabetes to modulate blood glucose levels after meals. It relieves constipation associated with diverticulosis, IBS, and hemorrhoids. And according to the National Fiber Council, a high-fiber diet keeps people feeling full for longer and may help promote weight loss.
Just two tasty wafers with 8 oz of liquid provide all the fiber of a spoonful of powdered Metamucil without the measuring or mixing. Metamucil Fiber Wafers
