      I get powder from Costco. They have Kirky brand that is not only about half the price of Metanucil, but the dosage is also about a third, so in reality you’re getting like 4-6 times as much, depending on your definition of “rounded.” Kirky is also sugar free, using stevia I think, although I’m sitting in a car right now so this is all from memory, and my memory ain’t the best.

        I had the pills, but I take so many pills I usually forget. Switched to the gummies and they were much easier l don’t buy the metamucil ones, they taste great but are way overpriced. One day I woke up in the middle of the night and was peckish, and had a bunch. Ohhhh boy did I pay for that mistake.

      Those capsules have barely any fiber. You need way more than that. That’s like… < 10% of your recommended intake.
