    Sure, but you really should be getting it through your normal daily food intake. If you need to take pills for it then it is a sign that your diet is lacking.

      Not everyone can get it via diet due to dietary or health concerns (or just straight up cost). I’m a T2 diabetic and a lot of things I would eat that have fiber (like oatmeal, or various beans) can spike the crap out of my blood sugar. I’m even limited in what fruits I can eat and how much. I supplement metamucil / psylium husk in my diet, add it to shakes or just drink it with water or chamomile tea.
