Metamucil Orange Smooth Psyllium Husk Powder

Metamucil is a dietary supplement containing psyllium husk that is primarily used as a fiber source to improve digestive health. It was originally launched in 1934 by G.D. Searle & Company in the United States, becoming one of the most recognized names in bulk-forming laxatives. It is broadly marketed for its 'multi-health' benefits, which include supporting regularity, lowering cholesterol to promote heart health, and helping maintain healthy blood sugar levels.

Today, Metamucil is owned and manufactured by Procter & Gamble (P&G), which acquired the brand in 1985. While it is sold globally, including in the Australian market where it is distributed by P&G's local subsidiary, the core manufacturing and scientific development of the brand continue to be based in the United States. The product is known for its variety of forms, including the orange-flavored powder shown in the image, as well as capsules and fiber thins.
