Studies suggest that taking Metamucil may help reduce hunger, enhance feelings of fullness, and increase weight loss. Still, Metamucil and similar fiber supplements should not be used as a weight loss product.
Is it better to take Metamucil at night or in the morning?
Any time of day is appropriate to take Metamucil as long as an adequate intake of fluids (at least 240 mL of water or liquid per serving) is consumed. We recommend taking Metamucil three times per day at mealtimes as a convenient way to get the benefits of Metamucil.
Should Metamucil be taken on an empty stomach or with food?
May be taken with or without food. Mix Metamucil powder with at least 8 ounces of water or fruit juice before drinking straight away. Do not swallow the dry powder.

stomach pain, nausea, or vomiting; trouble swallowing; or. a sudden change in bowel habits lasting longer than 2 weeks.
How many times a week should you take Metamucil?
Any time of day is a great day to take Metamucil’s psyllium husk, so long as you drink plenty of water with it (at least 8 oz). Start with one serving per day, then gradually increase your daily servings each week to reach your health goals.
