Adding metamucil to jake

[Evert]

After watching this video I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to add metamucil (or some generic variant) to Jake. I trust Hank Green when he talks about things so that's why even without doing any research of my own I'm already half convinced.

@Frank_Official, would you be willing to research this a bit and tell us if you guys would consider adding this to Jake?

Hi Evert, interesting presentation by Hank, Metamucil's Terry Crews .

Psyllium husks can indeed help with digestion. It's insoluble fibre, which means that it doesn't dissolve and our body doesn't absorb/digest it. Basically, what it does is make your stool soft and bulky. In Jake, that's the job of - depending on the product - oat fibre, inulin, guar gum and xanthan gum.
