Citrucel Methylcellulose Fiber Therapy for Irregularity, Powder FAQs
How does Citrucel Fiber Powder work to relieve constipation?
Citrucel Fiber Powder contains methylcellulose, a 100% soluble and non-fermentable fiber that gently helps relieve occasional constipation by absorbing water and giving stool a softer, bulkier consistency that's easier to pass.
Will Citrucel Fiber Powder cause gas or bloating?
No, Citrucel Fiber Powder is specifically formulated to provide fiber therapy without causing unwanted excess gas, a common concern with some other fiber supplements.
How long does it take for Citrucel Fiber Powder to produce results?
Citrucel Fiber Powder generally produces bowel movements within 12 to 72 hours after use. For best results, it's recommended to start using it at the first sign of constipation or irregularity.
How should I mix and take Citrucel Fiber Powder?
Simply add the appropriate dose of this dietary fiber powder to at least 1 cup of water or juice, stir briskly until dissolved, and drink promptly.
What age groups can use Citrucel Fiber Powder?
This soluble fiber supplement is formulated for children ages 6-11 years and adults 12 years of age and older.
Can I mix Citrucel with Methylcellulose Fiber in something other than water?
Citrucel with Methylcellulose Fiber can be mixed with water or juice provided you use 8 ounces of a cold liquid. Cold liquid is important for dispersion. It is best to avoid mixing Citrucel® with methylcellulose into milk and carbonated beverages. Citrucel® with Methylcellulose Fiber will release the carbonation too fast, and the drink will "erupt" and overflow the glass. We do not recommend mixing Citrucel with Methylcellulose Fiber with hot beverages; some of the active ingredients may come out of the solution causing you not to get a full dose. It will not mix properly and will settle out unless you keep stirring it. Also, the product may gel in hot liquids.
How do Citrucel with Methylcellulose Fiber caplets compare to the powder in their fiber content?
Each two-caplet dose of Citrucel with Methylcellulose Fiber caplets contains one gram of methylcellulose. This compares to two grams of Citrucel® with Methylcellulose Fiber in each one-scoop dose. In other words, you will need to take four caplets to get the same amount of fiber that is in one scoop of Citrucel® with Methylcellulose Fiber powder. Four caplets can be taken at the same time. We recommend that you drink 8 oz. of liquid with each dose of 2-4 caplets.
How do the carb and calorie contents compare between Citrucel Orange Mix and the Sugar-Free version?
Citrucel with Methylcellulose Fiber Regular Orange - 17g carbs and 60 calories. Citrucel with Methylcellulose Fiber Sugar-Free Orange - 8g carbs and 30 calories.
