You don’t need fiber supplementation but if you must I would stick to pure pysllium seed husk fiber not the metamucil crap that has laxative in it as well as red color FDA # 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12, well you get the point it has junk in it we know nothing about (all processed). The pysllium seed husk fiber can be purchased at GNC for 12 bucks for 30 servings, get the orange flavored and chug it down like a shot of tequila and brace yourself for some tummy rumbling. Drink plenty of water!!!
