Take care of your heart with the Metamucil Smooth Texture Sugar Free Orange. It is a FDA approved product for treating constipation and lowering cholesterol levels. The Metamucil fiber supplement contains 3 grams of psyllium fiber in each adult serving, which lowers saturated fat and adds fiber content to your diet. Regular intake will reduce risks of cardio-vascular illness and maintain stable blood sugar levels. The sugar free fiber powder increases intestinal bulk, facilitates in diverticulosis therapy, reduces colon cancer, and helps in weight loss. It keeps your gastro-intestinal tract healthy. This gluten-free supplement comes in a refreshing orange flavor which energizes your body systems.

We mixed both Metamucil and the leading clear-mixing fiber, containing wheat dextrin, with the recommended amounts of water. We then added cooking oil, dyed red, to both, to represent cholesterol. The psyllium fiber found in Metamucil gels and traps the oil like a sponge. The clear-mixing fiber does not. That's how Metamucil works in your body.

As the psyllium fiber enters your stomach, it forms a gel that traps and helps gently remove waste and some cholesterol. Clear-mixing fibers, like wheat dextrin, don't work like this.
