                                According to the Food and Drug Administration, diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include 7 grams of soluble fiber per day from psyllium husk, the active ingredient in Metamucil, may reduce the risk of heart disease. This raises a common question: is it okay to take Metamucil every day for fiber intake, or should it be limited to occasional use?
