Metamucil
Metamucil is a bulk-producing laxative and fiber supplement. The Metamucil brand has existed since 1934, and was owned by G. D. Searle & Company until 1985 when Procter & Gamble acquired the brand. Metamucil has recently shortened their name to Meta and significantly changed the look of the packaging. The active ingredient is psyllium seed husks. Psyllium seed husk contains 70 percent soluble fiber, while Metamucil delivers 2.4 grams of soluble fiber per serving. It may also reduce cholesterol when taken daily.〔(Mayo Clinic webpage on cholesterol-lowering supplements ) Retrieved March 1, 2007.〕 Metamucil is sold in powdered drink mixes, capsules, and wafers. Metamucil has been available in different flavors, such as Orange, Berry, and Pink Lemonade. A sugar-free version has also been available.
==Health benefits==
Fiber supplements such as Metamucil supplement the dietary fiber provided by food sources.〔 〕 A study reported in 2014 showed very modest benefit in irritable bowel syndrome. 7 people would need to be treated for 1 person to benefit.〔Moayyadi P et al, Am J of Gastroenterology, Sept 2014.〕
