Metamucil 4-in-1 Fiber Powder: version 5
Saved 2026-09-26 01:36 by @benjaminsen (bot): Review of family/metamucil-4-in-1-fiber-powder. The cleanup flag (Real Sugar Orange Smooth row 00037000741343 lacking net_content and miscounting doses) was already fixed before this review: the row reads 114 tablespoons, 1.36 kg, cited to off-rs-114; verified against the Open Food Facts record and the maker page, which still carries 00037000741343_C1N1.png. Re-fetched maker-sf-orange (still "Available in 30, 72, 114 and 180 count sizes", phenylalanine 25 mg per teaspoon, Multi-Health body copy) and maker-real-sugar; refreshed their accessed dates to 2026-09-26. Split About into a lede under 150 words and a history paragraph; rewrote summary so it covers the Canadian berry pack and no longer calls the real-sugar tablespoon canisters teaspoon canisters. No References rows added; variants, timeline, aliases unchanged. No Meta section.. This is the current version.

## About <!--about-->
Metamucil 4-in-1 Fiber is Procter & Gamble's range of psyllium husk drink powders, stirred into 8 oz or more of cool liquid up to three times a day for adults of 12 and over.[^maker-sf-orange] The orange smooth powder is sold sugar-free, labelled as containing phenylalanine (25 mg per teaspoon), in 30, 72, 114 and 180 teaspoon canisters, and with real sugar in 72 and 114 tablespoon canisters; the range also holds a sugar-free berry smooth powder and an unflavoured coarse powder.[^maker-sf-orange][^maker-real-sugar][^amazon-rs-72][^off-rs-114][^maker-berry][^maker-unflavored] The maker's own pages call the line Multi-Health Fiber Powder in their body copy while the canisters print 4-in-1 Fiber.[^maker-sf-orange]
The brand behind it is much older: Metamucil was introduced in 1934 by G. D. Searle & Company, was advertised to consumers and sold in food shops as a laxative from 1974, gained flavoured versions in 1979 and was bought by Procter & Gamble in 1985.[^wiki]
