Five capsules taken with eight ounces of liquid (swallowed one at a time), three times daily, treats occasional constipation and restores regularity. Clinical studies have shown that taken daily, 7 grams of soluble fiber from psyllium husk--the amount in three doses of Metamucil-- plus a heart-healthy diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may help reduce heart disease risk by lowering cholesterol. Metamucil provides an easy and convenient way to help reduce the risk of heart disease by adding soluble fiber to your heart-healthy diet.
