Customer Reviews of Metamucil MultiHealth Fiber Psyllium Fiber Capsules, 160-Count(Pack of 2)
Customer Review: Great for promoting health, but could do without the artificial colors and additives
Summary: 4 Stars
Most of us don't get nearly enough fiber in our diet (usually from too much processed food and not enough fruits and vegetables), so we extra push to help us make our push. Metamucil is a great helper when it comes to "working things out". These capsules are flavorless, easy to swallow, and convenient to store and carry. You can take a bottle to the office, or a few capsules with you in your pocket to take at meals, for example. As listed on the label, each "serving" is 6 capsules and gives you 11% (3g) of your recommended daily intake of fiber and adds 10 calories.
As good as Metamucil is, I do have a few beefs. I really don't like all the chemical additives. It is advertised as 100% pure psyllium husk, but it's not a 100% natural product. It contains polysorbate 80 (a preservative), and 3 FD&C dyes, a bit much for something that comes out the same color in the end. Polysorbate 80 is used to extend shelf-life and prolong storage, but the colorants serve no purpose, cosmetic or otherwise.
Secondly, the price is not very good. Lesser known brands/generics like Now Foods Psyllium Husk 500mg, 500 Capsules cost a lot less. At almost a third of the price ($.03/capsule), that's a huge savings. There shouldn't be any difference in effectiveness since the main ingredient is ground up seed husks from the psyllium plant (Plantago ovata, related to the common plantain weed that grows in many people's gardens). Fiber is fiber. It is indigestible to humans regardless of what company it comes from, so you're not getting any extra benefit out of paying more for one brand versus another.
