A member asked:
Which is the most effective product of the following: benefiber, metamucil, or citrucel?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
All effective: Theses are just supplements. All are effective but i caution that while taking benefiber you have to make sure you drink lots of water with it. But these just supplement your diet. Most people need 25-30 grams a day and it is impossible to get this just from these products. You still have to change your diet and get it there. Consult with your physician for more info.
