1 Soluble fiber is found in oat bran, barley, nuts, seeds, beans, lentils, peas, and some fruits and vegetables. It is also found in psyllium, a common fiber supplement. Some types of soluble fiber may help lower risk of heart disease.  Insoluble fiber is found in foods such as wheat bran, vegetables, and whole grains.
1 Wheat Dextrin (e.g., Benefiber in the U.S.) is another type of non-viscous, soluble fiber that is considered a bulk-forming laxative. 2  Since it is non-viscous, it does not form a gel in the digestive tract that binds with cholesterol, rendering it ineffective in lowering blood cholesterol. Psyllium (e.g., Metamucil) is a viscous, soluble fiber that is the most common fiber source in supplements. 2  Psyllium's cholesterol-lowering ability has earned the FDA's approval, allowing foods containing psyllium to make a health claim about reducing risk of heart disease.
