Berry-Flavored Fiber Supplement

Procter & Gamble, Cincinnati, OH, has added Berry Burst! powder into the Metamucil fiber supplement line. Berry Burst!, like all Metamucil products, contains 100% fiber from psyllium husk and “is a delicious way to help lower cholesterol and beautify the body from the inside.” Soluble fiber, as found in Metamucil, may form a gel in the stomach, entrapping food, sugars, cholesterol and fats before carrying them through the digestive tract.
