It’s Friday the 13th and I keep checking on this blog from time to time. It seems once you start this you really cannot stop. I see quite a few people searching for info on Konsyl vs Metamucil. So I wanted to address WHY to choose Konsyl over Metamucil and other products.
First, you should know only two fiber products can make claims: Konsyl and Metamucil. We are both considered “Over the Counter Drugs” (OTC) and with that status comes the right to make medical claims. I know you see beautiful people drinking things on TV but that doesn’t tell you anything. All fibers are not the same. Read on and learn.
Konsyl has nearly TWICE the fiber! Know why it has twice the fiber??? It is easy. When Konsyl originated many, many years ago, it was formulated as a pure, psyllium-based product. The general dose for all these types of products is a teaspoon. With Konsyl, 6 grams of our psyllium fits on a teaspoon.
Why is that important??? Most products have other things in them such as sugars, maltodextrin and artificial flavors. Those products only give you 3.4 grams of fiber per teaspoon. If we compare apples to apples, half a teaspoon of Konsyl is equal to a full teaspoon of the other products.
1/2 teaspoon Konsyl = 1 full teaspoon competitor’s fiber
You may think you are getting more for your money with a BIG canister, but how much FIBER are you really getting???
Another point I learned from a pharmacist this week: The purer the product, the better it is for you. That should be a easy one to remember! If you are trying to add fiber to your life and you are trying to go ”Natural,” think of Konsyl.

P.S. Don’t forget, you can try Konsyl for 7 days. You just pay S&H. You won’t regret it! Get the Konsyl trial pack here.
