Do they have carbs in the capsules

Metamucil uses psyllium. I found this on their site: If psyllium husk is a carbohydrate, why do Metamucil Multihealth Fiber Capsules contain zero net carbs? In strict scientific terms, natural psyllium fiber is a polysaccharide that is a subclass of carbohydrates. Although dietary supplement regulations require that we list psyllium fiber as part of the carbohydrate total, it is, in fact, very different from carbohydrates such as sugar, glucose, fruit sugar, corn syrups, and starches. This is because our gastrointestinal enzymes cannot digest psyllium; therefore, our bodies do not absorb it and do not convert it into glucose.

As Fred said, fiber is a carb, but it is not absorbed like sugar or starch. Listing net carbs is a marketing ploy (although it does apply for Atkins and the like); net carbs = total carbs - fiber. That being said, these are great for low carb diets as they are one of the VERY few fiber supplements to include both soluble and insoluble fiber, which is all but absent in low carb lifestyles.

I found the following on a weight-loss web site. I don't know if it helps you or not: You will find that psyllium husk is something you need to add to your diet if you're on a low-carb diet. If you are on a low-carb diet, you lose a lot of fiber that regulates your digestive system. This is because most carbohydrates, such as bread, contain the most fiber in one's diet. Psyllium husk solves this problem. It works as a natural dietary fiber that also improves your overall intestinal health.

No it does not. These are vegetarian capsules plant based derivatives. Hope this helps.

They are not gelatin. One ingredient is modified cellulose gum. So, perhaps that is what you are interested in. Just to note: they do not come in a capsule form; they look like the ingredients have been compressed together in a pill shape instead of having some container or capsule that holds the ingredients within. Hopefully this helps.

Not that I am aware of. I didn't see any in the packaging. I recommend checking their site.

I am sorry but it does not provide the carbohydrate content on the package. It is not in the guaranteed analysis. However I did find a link from a forum where a poster provided a 2% carb content. But since it's from an anonymous individual use your best judgement - http://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=59201&sid=915f3f457e76aee598006e6a6aef8987 Good luck!

No carbohydrates, according to the label on the bottle. One question, is carbonhydrate good or bad for humans health and why? Thank you :)

There are 2.7 grams of carbs per dose. But there is also a balance of 2.5 grams of fiber, so very little glycemic impact. And tremendous benefit to the gut flora.

Hi. I checked my bottle and there was no listing for carbs. FYI I bought this because it claims to help your nails grow. It did not work for me at all.

I'm sorry to say I never opened the capsule to find out. I don't think so, thou as they are capsules, not soft gels. I do know that I love them and they seem to help me with avoiding colds, flu etc when taken with my Vit D3.

The company taped their company label over the nutrition section, but I was able to remove the portion about carbs and found the following:2 pieces contain Total Carbs 2gm (1% DV) There was an asterisk * after the DV, but the rest of the label was stuck on the package. However, if the total carbs are what you need to know, this should help. And, the gum tastes great, too!

They are not capsules. I think they taste fine. I even give them to my kids.
