Metamucil: Fibre Supplements for Regularity

Metamucil was introduced in 1934. With 100% natural psyllium fibre, it has long been known as a laxative. Now, after 80 years in business, Metamucil is considered a leading fibre supplement brand in Australia. Metamucil fibre supplements may help provide a natural way to maintain daily regularity. They may be of help in filling the gap when it is difficult to reach the recommended daily amount of fibre through diet alone.

Why psyllium fibre?

Metamucil Australia’s products contain natural psyllium fibre. The brand says that this fibre in its supplements offers many benefits, including:

• May help you feel lighter and more active
• May help support the body’s natural cleansing process
• May work as a daily cleanser for your insides

The Metamucil difference

Metamucil contains 100% natural psyllium fibre. Psyllium husk is a natural dietary fibre originating from plantago ovata, which has been the source of both soluble and insoluble fibre in Metamucil. Studies suggest that the psyllium fibre in Metamucil forms a viscous gel that may help trap some bile acids and gently remove them from the body. This way, Metamucil may work as a natural way to stay regular and support a healthy gut.

The Metamucil range

Metamucil offers a wide range of fibre supplements, including fibre capsules, smooth and granular powders, and gummies for convenient use. The brand’s range, Meta Align, offers probiotic supplements developed by gastroenterologists based on 10 years of scientific research. It contains a unique probiotic strain (Bifidobacterium longum 35624™), which, the brand says, may be helpful in relieving symptoms of medically diagnosed Irritable Bowel Symptoms (IBS), such as abdominal pain, gas, and bloating, when used as directed.
