For Dietary Fiber Supplementation "My lower GI doctor advised me to use Metamucil due to a hemorrhoid issue I have. I use a tablespoon of the product daily & it has not only helped my bowel movements, but it has also helped bring my cholesterol down."

For Constipation "Turned back the clock 30 years. Makes bowel movements much easier. I only take one teaspoon per day. I am 64 and it definitely replenishes your system from what you naturally lose over the years."
