NOW Foods Supplements, Psyllium Husk Powder, Non-GMO Project Verified, Soluble Fiber, 24-Ounce

Why did you pick this product vs others?:As someone who’s into fitness and prioritizing gut health, this psyllium husk powder has been a game-changer for me. I started using it to help with bloating, and it’s made a noticeable difference in how I feel day to day. It keeps me regular, supports my digestion, and I genuinely feel lighter and less sluggish—especially important when I’m training consistently.I love that it’s non-GMO and unflavored, so I can easily mix it into my morning smoothies or just water. It doesn’t taste like anything, which I really appreciate. If you’re into fitness, looking to reduce bloating, or just want to support your gut health naturally, I definitely recommend giving this a try!

It works so well! I don’t like drinking it, so I add it to whatever I’m making, like fiber pancakes, oatmeal, or as a thickener. It doesn’t dissolve fast enough for me, and it tastes like dirt, but it gets the job done!

Excellent fiber, really works great; I mix just one heaped spoon with 4% lactaid milk -no bad taste ; easy to swallow . Only issue is that you hav eto go >twice in the AM which could be a problem for those who have to leave home early.I will keep using it.

Don't get me wrong.... this stuff is awesome. I mean... i don't love the flavor or anything but it helps curb appetite and expel the waist. I got the powder by accident. I was used to the whole husks. I tried using the same amount and it instantly turned my water into sand. It absorbed so quick. I mix with AG1 powder and have it every AM.... but the powder made it like drinking oatmeal... i chewed more than I drank. I realized with the powder.... you use much less than what I was doing with the whole husks. It would be extremely difficult for me to choke this stuff down every AM without AG1 vitamin.... the taste is a bit off putting and I think my body would soon reject it. HOWEVER.... adding AG1 to it gives enough flavor to make it palatable. Im not trying to endorse ag1... it's just relevant to the review because the taste is like cardboard without anything else in it. In summary...it's great for what it does. I prefer the husks to powder.... thanks for listening to my Ted talk.

My doctor recommended I try this and it has helped me a lot with constipation. I like that it comes in a resealable bag that I can keep on the counter. It lasts me for months and I follow the instructions on the bag and take it before breakfast.

Excellent product which works immediately

Recipe: As a drink: Add 1 level tablespoon (3 teaspoons) of NOW psyllium husk powder into a container. Add 12 ounces of water (I use distilled). Stir vigorously with a milk frother. Drink IMMEDIATELY. If you wait even a minute the consistency becomes unpleasant.An alternative is to mix with unsweetened applesauce. You need to eat it quickly! It starts to thicken as soon as it's combined with any type of liquid or moisture.Now for the review:There's no way to sugar-coat it so I'll just say it. I've reached that age (50) where I need some help with the fiber in my diet. I eat apples and beans quite often but they don't seem to be enough. Now for the graphic part. Look away now if you're squeamish. I recently had a thrombosed hemorrhoid that lasted for several days and finally burst. I attribute this to straining at the toilet. As I've gotten older I noticed that I might not go for a few days, somedays several days, then all at once I have to go 5-8 times in a few hour span. This is an absolute onslaught to my system and causes flare-ups. The thrombosed roid was a first. I want it to be the last!Enter psyllium husk from NOW FOODS. I originally started using it during 2017 when I was doing Keto. With it's 7 grams of dietary fiber and 8 total carbs it works out to 1 net carb/tbsp. If you've done Keto you know how hard it can be to stay regular. I eventually stopped the diet and let the psyllium husk go stale.Never again will I be without this product! It is one of the few things I can put into my body and see and feel results almost immediately.I buy the 24 ounce bags of powder. One level tablespoon is what I take, so that means I can get 76 servings or enough to last me 2.5 months. There are other brands and flavors of this on the market that are much more expensive. Do yourself a favor and just get this one. It really is the best I've tried. You can get a better deal on it if you buy the 'husks' instead of the powder. I've used it before to add to baking goods and applesauce. It's really hard to drink the 'husks' version.At the time of writing (8-28-24) a dose (1 tbsp) is 23.7 cents. When I was suffering with the roids I would have pad thousands of dollars for relief. I consider this preventative maintenance (insert wry smile here).

Update 6/24/25 it thickens entirely too much and too fast! Not sure how effective it has been. Still constipated after a few days of use... Removed some stars... Will follow up again .Original review after one use::Definitely effective and gentle. I was constipated for 5 days. Laxatives stopped working and miralax did not work. Few google searches lead me to this product and boy was a happy after using recommended does 1tbs.I tried to start slow as instructed but that did not work fast enough for me.The product does thicken pretty quickly so chew-swallow-drink fast! I mixed with a little coffee as I could tolerate the thickness of the solution. Before I could finish, it thickened to much to drink. Pro tip take bit gollps and drink something in between or mix 2 half tablespoons separately.
