How to Use Metamucil to Lower Cholesterol

Adding fiber to your diet can help lower your cholesterol because fiber absorbs fat and cholesterol from your food. Metamucil, a dietary fiber supplement, can be used to help lower cholesterol by helping you add more fiber to your diet. There are many ways to increase the amount of fiber in your diet, such as choosing whole grains, eating plenty of beans and enjoying healthier options of food; however, for those who still need more fiber in their diet, Metamucil is a good option.
