I have used several brands of Psyllium Husks Powder for a year now, and this is the best so far.TEXTURE: It is extremely fine which makes it really easy to mix with water regardless of its temperature (although lukewarm is better). I don’t feel it on my teeth like the others.EASE of use: I first wasn’t sure about the packaging since other psyllium husk powders were always in a foil pouch. However, the dark bottle keeps it protected from the sunlight. It’s much more convenient to scoop a necessary doze with a spoon out without having to dig your entire arm into the bag. 🙂 I can easily mix it with just a spoon but to expedite the process, I use a small whisk. It takes 10-20 seconds (depending on the amount I put in) to completely dissolve.BENEFITS: I had to take 4 tsps of other psyllium husks powder. I only need 1.5 tsp with this one. It adds the much needed fiber to my diet and helps with IBS.TIPS: Make sure you drink plenty of water, especially after and don’t take it if you are already constipated. Wait til your digestive system normalizes and then resume taking it. But as always, consult your doctor. My GI doctor approved this particular product.

This is the only psyllium husk that works! Tried many other brands and was not impressed. Can’t go wrong with this one!

I’ve been using Yerba Prima Psyllium Whole Husks for years, and have really enjoyed how it works in my nether regions, so I decided to give the powder a run. The reason I wanted to try the powder has more to do with dosing than anything else. Basically, one tablespoon of the whole husks is equivalent to one teaspoon of the powder. As you might imagine, the whole husks are the more “chunky” version of the two, so if you’re looking to blend the psyllium is something like yogurt, or some other food where you’d prefer a smoother consistency, the powder get you there.I kind of like the consistency of the whole husks– it feels more substantial and like it’s moving through my system more, if you know what I’m sayin’. That said, I often blend the two (whole husks + powder) in a glass of water, 2-3 times per day. Psyllium has been around for 5,000 years or longer, so the health benefits are well established. The Yerba Prima product is first rate, and I’ll continue to be moved by this for many years to come.If you know what I’m sayin’!

This product doesn’t have much taste. You have to stir vigorously to mix it. It does what it’s supposed to do.

I have used product for several years and well satisfied. Latest batch does not dissolve in water, is lumpy and not drinkable. Product cannot be returned but it is defective and I want a refund.

Using this product for many years as a source for fiber
Peace –
I used to poo 2, maybe 3, times/week at the most. Fed up with the slow movement of food through me I bought this brand due to the low lead content- yes I eat tons of veggies and they too have lead so if you are paranoid about lead in food, stop eating and you’ll be safe. I digress, I’d rather limit my lead intake so I bought this brand. It really keeps me regular. The minus star is for the ick value but it’s not enough for me to stop using it. I can slug through 2 glasses a day and still live to talk about it, and better, poo on a daily basis now.
Worthwhile –
Where do I begin? Really. This product has literally (not figuratively) changed my life. I had for many years (ago) had the unhealthy diet of a young person, HS cafeteria food, college dorm food and then young adult figuring it all out. And I had the digestive issues that comes with it all. I became interested in fiber supplements as I started to normalize my diet and realized that it was a necessary complement to our eating habits. Short of becoming a hunter gatherer it is near impossible to eat the prerequisite amount of the correct kind of fiber, or at least it is difficult. With Yerba Prima Psyllium Husk you still have to eat healthy but you don’t have to worry about getting the fiber, because you can easily and regularly add it to your diet with this product.I have become something of a proselytizer of Yerba Prima Psyllium Husk, I have gotten my friends on it, my family, even people at work. If someone complains of a digestive ailment, my first Rx to them is psyllium. I have also had other brands and none work as well as this one. I have even had their other products, such as the husks that are not ground to a powder, and again not close to this one. I go so far as to pack a small bottle of this with me when I travel so that even for one day I am not without my precious Prima. Though to be sure, it does not create a dependency or tolerance, it is just that I like how I feel with it and my regularity is that much more comfortable.Many people ask me how I take it, because it is kind of an acquired routine. What I tell people is try it for one week, it can be disconcerting at first to drink, but it is almost tasteless and if you use this method you will not feel the texture. What I do is take a plastic disposable Solo cup (those plastic party cups), fill it with cool but not cold water, then take a teaspoon or tablespoon (I do the latter) of Psyllium husk powder, drop it in, stir it rapidly and while it is still swirling from your stirring, drink the entire cup down without stopping. Do not stop mid-way or if you do you might not be able to finish (which is ok, try again the next day). I use disposable cups because the powder will cling to your glass over time no matter how much you clean it and then it becomes like concrete and is tough to remove. I use the same cup for a few weeks, so it is not too wasteful but I have found it is preferable to using a glass (which could also break from the rapid stirring required to get the powder into solution). Also, use whatever temperature water you can drink quickly, I err on warmer water otherwise the coldness is tough to drink rapidly. Either way, find a method, it is worth it.Try it for one week, it will change your life. Seriously.
