Viva Naturals Organic Psyllium Husk Powder, 24 oz – Finely Ground, Unflavored, Vegan, Keto, Paleo, Non-GMO Plant-Based Superfood, Good Source of Fiber for Gluten-Free Baking, Juices & Smoothies

We give psyllium to my five year year-old every day in his yogurt so he poops every day and poop won’t be hard. Previously we were using some we’d had for a really long time which worked well, but once we ran out, I got this stuff and it is awesome! It’s more finely ground, and it actually taste pleasant like I’ve tried it mixed in water, and I expected it to be gross and it was not at all, kind of a pleasant taste. This stuff is great, you won’t regret it!

This is super finely ground which is nice if you like to bake or mix it in other things. I love that it is organic and easy to store and seal. It is super effective, a good value, easy to store and has no smell really. It's a good size and I feel a good value.

This works so much better than anything else my husband has used for his serpentine colon. It works well within 24 hours. We use our coffee frother to really blend the husk so it doesn't clump. It is a natural remedy that truly helps bowel movements.

Great product but the bag does not stay sealed. I’ve purchased many bags of this and they’re all the same. Unfortunately I’m going to find another brand and hope the bag seals.

Product arrived on-time and in perfect condition. One reviewer said press-together bag seal didn't work. It worked fine for me. Now to the great part: This stuff really works! I heard about psyllium husk powder generically from The DoctorsTV show. They said it was life-changing because it makes for "perfect poop" (sorry about their "grossness", but quick, easy, one-wipe poops) and because this soluble fiber is actually a carbohydrate, research has shown it can help prevent type 2 diabetes. Well, the Doc's were spot on with their gross facts. The results were nothing short of amazing, starting in 24 to 36 hours. I used warm tap water instead of cold, and mixing was no problem at all. Package directions do not say timing relative to meals, but google says drink about two hours before each meal. Start with just serving per day though. Stir several seconds and drink immediately. There's a very slight and palatable flavor to this pure psyllium husk drink, which has no artificial sweeteners nor flavoring added. I only wish I had found out about this many years ago. Life-changing for sure. Update: 3 months later, supply ran out so I bought this again. The second, identically labeled package was not same as first (inconsistent product quality) in that it absolutely would not mix by stirring with very warm water. It had undissolvable clumps every time I tried. I have to use an immersion blender to make it mix. Other than that everything was the same with this product. Previously, on my first order three months ago, I could mix this by spoon, stirring, with very warm water and then drink. My point in updating this review is not to discourage you from buying this. Just know that one time you buy it you can stir it with a spoon and another time you buy it you must have an immersion blender handy. I hope when I buy this for the third time it no longer requires an immersion blender.

I bought Viva Naturals Organic Psyllium Husk Powder because I'm out of unsweetened, unflavored Metamucil and need some psyllium husk powder for regularity. I am an average American, not a person concerned about organic this or nature that; this purchase was made for convenience and price point. This product is NOT like Metamucil. It's far more finely milled, so it's basically like a reasonably fine powder, whereas Metamucil is more a coarse powder. It's in an obnoxious zipper bag which will not rezip due to too much powder being caught in the zipper tracks, so you have to be sure to store it away from any sources of humidity, meaning the kitchen, near bathrooms, etc. It also does not travel through a funnel very easily, so it was hard to transfer it into a better container. The way I use it is to pre-measure a cup of water, add a little flavoring, and then put a heaping teaspoon of it in the cup. I stir it very briskly for a good while and then I drink it very quickly. It takes more stirring than Metamucil and it clumps A LOT more than Metamucil. I think I would need a blender to get the clumps out, but fortunately they're fairly small. If you drink this immediately after stirring, it doesn't have time to set. However, because it is a fine powder and it does clump, I end up with micro-clumps of it left over in my mouth in the cracks between my teeth. This stuff tastes like raw wheat without the slightly sweet flavor wheat can have, which makes it fairly unpalatable to American tastes. I would not try this stuff without flavoring until I'd gotten used to the texture. It is not a joy to consume this, but it is over pretty quickly and only leaves a mild aftertaste after you wash your mouth out post-drinking it. And it does work, which is the point of taking it in the first place. However, you want to brush your teeth before bedtime if you use this stuff or you will hate life in the morning. Basically, this product is not a delight and the packaging needs some rethinking, but if your goal is to be regular, it does the job. The benefits barely outweigh the concerns.

Works well, I use a plastic shaker that has a separate metal mixer ball. Like that its unflavored, I add powder flavor to make it easier to drink daily. Great value for the money vs other powders.

This product is effective but does not mix well at all. If you can tolerate the clumps then it’s worth it. I like that it is a healthier way to consume psyllium without all the additives the others have.

Great product and good as part of weight loss.

works well good fibre for a healthy gut
