February is Heart Health Month.
Our Recommendation
Metamucil
How Can It Help?
The psyllium (fiber) in Metamucil has been clinically proven to help lower the bad (LDL) cholesterol in your body by trapping and removing it. But it doesn’t stop there! Metamucil also helps you feel less hungry, helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels, and promotes digestive health.
How Should I Use It?
Mix 1 rounded tablespoon into 8 ounces (a full glass) of water or other cool, clear liquid. Stir quickly and drink right away once a day. You can gradually increase this to 3 times daily with meals.
Also available sugar-free and as capsules and wafers!
