Questions and Answers – Major Fiber Therapy Methylcellulose Powder (Compare to Citrucel®)
Is Major Fiber Therapy Methylcellulose Powder sugar free?
No, it contains sucrose as one of the inactive ingredients.
Is Major Fiber Therapy Methylcellulose Powder made in the USA?
Yes, it is manufactured in the United States by Major Pharmaceuticals, based in Livonia, Michigan. We confirmed this directly with the manufacturer.
Why is there a California warning sticker on the side of the jar?
Some customers notice a California Prop 65 warning label on the jar stating: “Warning: Consuming this product can expose you to chemicals including lead, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer.”
This warning is due to the presence of silica—an inactive ingredient in the formula. Silica is a naturally occurring mineral often used as a processing aid to improve powder flow and prevent clumping. While it is considered safe in small quantities, California requires labeling under Proposition 65 for certain compounds. To learn more, visit www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
