Questions

What is the cheapest alternative to Metamucil psyllium?

Today it is Piping Rock at $0.17 per 5 g fiber, 46% less than Metamucil at $0.32 on the same basis.

How is "% less" worked out?

We divide each container's price by the amount of active ingredient its label says it holds, then compare that price per 5 g fiber. It is our comparison, not a store sale. The store sets the price at checkout.

Is a cheaper psyllium the same as Metamucil?

We compare the labeled amount of the active ingredient, not quality, taste or testing. Each row shows any third-party testing we found. We don't test products and don't tell you what to take.
