as are soluble fiber foods, as well. Not all supplements will say this on their label - typically, if something is labeled as a "bulk-forming laxative", like Metamucil and Citrucel, that's where you'll see it. Supplements that are labeled as fibers, and not as laxatives, like Benefiber and Acacia, will not say "bulk-forming". It has more to do with FDA labeling regulations than any actual properties of the soluble fiber supplements themselves.

Best,
