How to Use Metamucil to Lower Cholesterol

Adding Metamucil to your diet may help lower your cholesterol.

Adding fiber to your diet can help lower your cholesterol because fiber absorbs fat and cholesterol from your food. Metamucil, a dietary fiber supplement, can be used to help lower cholesterol by helping you add more fiber to your diet. There are many ways to increase the amount of fiber in your diet, such as choosing whole grains, eating plenty of beans and enjoying healthier options of food; however, for those who still need more fiber in their diet, Metamucil is a good option.

Instructions

1. Talk to your doctor about whether Metamucil should be added as a part of your cholesterol-lowering plan.

2. Add Metamucil Capsules to your daily vitamin routine.

3. Sprinkle the Metamucil Clear and Natural product onto the foods that you already enjoy as a part of your daily diet.

4. Consume Metamucil Wafers when you are on the go or in the mood for a snack.

5. Use Metamucil as a supplement to the other fiber-rich and healthy foods that you already eat. Adults should only mix one serving of Metamucil Powdered Drink Mixes, Wafers and Capsules with eight ounces of liquids three times a day.

Tips & Warnings

• Talk to your doctor before using Metamucil as part of a cholesterol-lowering program.
