About Metamucil
Originally developed as a remedy for constipation, Metamucil is now also promoted as a daily fiber supplement that can help lower cholesterol, and improve heart and overall health. Metamucil products are made from water-soluble psyllium fiber obtained from the husk of the psyllium plant. Metamucil offers several different products, including drink mixes, capsules and wafers. All of the Metamucil products should be taken with at least eight ounces of liquid and are not recommended for use by children under 12 years of age, unless on the advice of a doctor.Official Site: Metamucil Fiber FAQ

Metamucil Commercial - 1983
This is a video of a Metamucil commercial from 1983. The narrator indicates that without the proper amount of fiber, exercise and liquids, it's possible to become irregular. Since it's difficult to know how much fiber foods contain, and important to maintain the correct amount, the commercial suggests Metamucil be taken every day.
