Supermucil is used for many reasons, like increasing your daily fiber intake, treating occasional constipation, and more. Supermucil is a fiber supplement that provides four key benefits:

• Helps support digestive health.* The psyllium fiber in Supermucil helps maintain regularity.* It can be used to treat occasional constipation.
• Helps support heart health by lowering cholesterol† Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include 7 grams of soluble fiber per day from psyllium husk, like Supermucil, may reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering cholesterol.†
• Helps support healthy blood sugar levels* Supermucil forms a viscous gel that traps sugars, which are more slowly absorbed into the body.*
• Helps support appetite control* As the psyllium fiber in Supermucil powder thickens, it forms a gel that helps you feel fuller.*

Supermucil comes in many forms – like powders, capsules. The form you choose will determine how to take Supermucil to reach your fiber goals.

If you’re new to Supermucil powders, start with one serving per day. Gradually increase to your desired daily intake. Note that you may experience changes in your bowel habits or minor bloating as your body adjusts to the increased fiber intake. Drink lots of water throughout the day. Here are the steps to take Supermucil powders:

1. Put 1-2 rounded spoons in an empty glass.
2. Mix briskly with 8 oz. or more of cool liquid.
3. Drink promptly, and enjoy!

Supermucil also comes in capsule form. One serving of Supermucil is 3 to 4 capsules. Swallow 1 capsule at a time and take it in an upright position to increase your daily fiber intake.

For best results, we recommend taking Supermucil daily. How much Supermucil should be taken depends on what benefits you want to get from it.
