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 bought this to use in a recipe from America's Test Kitchen for gluten-free sandwich bread recipe. The bread came out just fine, so I was pleased.

Same benefits as the husk for lower price.

Follow the instructions, and this tasteless powder will be easy to make and consume. I put 1 tsp of powder in a 12 oz coffee mug with water, close the lid and shake (vigorously for 10 sec). Then it's ready to drink. Far bettwr than using a spoon and having everything clump up. Sometimes I can't finish all 12 oz, and it gels up in the mug. I just add more water, then continue drinking. Sometimes I end up drinking 3 mugs of liquid, which is great for my health.

Shake it in a jar. Don’t attempt to stir it unless you have time on your hands. Drink it quickly or it congeals at the bottom of the jar It’s disgusting in the mouth but it works in the gut.

Great product but take with juice. The price keeps going up-and-up on this product.

I’ll never go another day without this stuff!

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.
