multi-health benefits

The average Canadian needs more fibre

ABOUT

Psyllium fibre is well-known for its effectiveness as a bulk-forming laxative in constipation. However, psyllium fibre is now also recognized for its cholesterol lowering effects† and support of healthy blood sugar levels, both of which promote heart health.

  • - Helps support healthy blood sugar levels
  • - Helps lower cholesterol† to promote heart health
  • - Helps to suppress appetite‡ before a meal

† Lowers mildly to moderately elevated cholesterol levels when taken with a low-fat diet
‡ Applies only to powdered formulations of Metamucil
