For centuries, psyllium husk has been used in the ancient traditional medicine of Ayurveda to promote the body's overall health and well-being. This ancient knowledge has now been proven by modern science and today psyllium is known as one of the most effective fibers for maintaining regular digestive health*. Psyllium comes from the Plantago Ovata and is grown in the rolling fields of the Gujarat and Rajasthan regions of India. Once a year, the psyllium seed is gathered and is stone ground to harvest the husk, which is then made into the powder that powers Metamucil. Metamucil works with your body's natural cleansing process to trap and remove the waste that weighs you down, leaving you feeling lighter and more energetic**. Taken daily, our psyllium superfiber also helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels* and supports heart health by lowering cholesterol†. Harness the power of thousands of years of ancient eastern medicine and bring home the power of Metamucil's psyllium superfiber today. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
