Yerba Prima Psyllium Husk Powder - 24 oz - Fine Ground, Unflavored, Sugar Free - Natural Fiber Supplement - Also for Baking - Contains Both Soluble & Insoluble Bulk for Regularity Support

I bought this because it doesn't contain the additives that Metamucil and others have and contains a high quality psyllium husk. It really is a high quality product. I mix it with room temperature juice as I think it helps to dissolve better instead of clump up like it does with cold juice. There is a mild taste to it but you can barely taste it when it's mixed with juice. It did take me a couple of glasses to get used to the texture and taste but now I'm so used to it, I don't even notice it. I started taking it bc my dr wanted me to start taking a fiber supplement to help with my cholesterol and I'm happy to report that it has helped bring down my triglycerides from 450 to 76, although I still have high LDL cholesterol and high total cholesterol (my total cholesterol did come down though just not within normal limits). I will continue taking this since it seems to be helping. Just be careful, you want to drink plenty of fluids with any fiber supplement otherwise it can constipate you.

I was using a smaller amount that was in a plastic container but I decided to try the larger amount because it saves money and I use it everyday and I have to say the container that it is in in this size is also some form of plastic but it is much more quality and you are able to close it much tighter so air doesn't get in I feel like the product is much more protected for shelf life and this container I don't know if this is typical but for some reason this powder has been much easier to briskly stir into water and has almost no lumps happening at all when dissolving the powder the previous container the smaller one I don't know every time I start it or shook it or tried to do the best way it always ended up with lumps in it still and I had to scoop them out because it's not good to drink lumps of this product so I got to say if you're going to buy this product you should go for this one it is my new go to

Excellent, very high quality; super good for you too! Arrived in good condition.

Excellent results. I started out taking daily but have adjusted to every other day as that is what works best for me. Movements are consistent, quick and mess free! Be sure you drink 8oz of water directly after. I take the powder with 12oz of water (shaken well) then follow with 8oz. I think room temp is best. Taste is not great - hold your nose and chug! It is worth it!

When you get this, start with a small amount. I've been using psyllium husk for a long time. When I first started, I was using a teaspoon. Now I use the HANDLE of the teaspoon to measure out 1/8-1/4 of a teaspoon. Psyllium husk is hydrophobic at first (hates mixing), so if you try to mix it into a cold drink it'll clump up and you'll be chewing powery chunks in your drink. If possible, throw your drink and the powder into a blender. Or, mix the powder into a hot drink. EG: I mix it into a coffee in the morning that I add creamer and milk to after. The powder dissolves much better in hot drinks. Be sure to drink the drink quickly, or mix it up periodically, otherwise you'll end up with a big sludge of gel on the bottom of your drink. Whole psyllium husk doesn't mix as well as powder, so this powder is definitely the better option.I have bowel issues, no gallbladder, colon surgery that I've never "done business right" afterwards from, deal with bacteriosis overload sometimes, etc, etc. It can leave me wiping and wiping when I use the bathroom. I use 1-2x 1/4 teaspoon of psyllium powder daily, it clears things right up. I can "do the doo" like a normal person, and just wipe and be done instead of it feeling like my stools are clay or mud. The psyllium husk bulks and moves things out easily leaving little residue behind. Sounds gross, but you reach a certain age where you start to brag about how much better your bowel movements are with proper fiber supplement, and I've found that psyllium husk powder is the miracle cure. I've used various other brands, but yerba prima is the one I've found makes a good powder instead of just whole psyllium husks. And, like I said, a little goes a long way. Build up gradually to figure out how much you need / can tolerate. Sometimes you don't need much.
