ORGANIC INDIA Psyllium Herbal Powder - Whole Husk Fiber Supplement, Digestion Support, Vegan, Gluten-Free, USDA Certified Organic, Non-GMO, Soluble & Insoluble Fiber Source - 12 oz

This organic psyllium husk is really easy to take. If you mix it with room temperature water, it expands a bit faster compared to cold water. The product takes about 3 to 5 minutes to mix and expand, so just stir it and let it stand for a bit until it’s ready to drink. It’s mostly tasteless, so adding an artificial sweetener can help it go down more easily if you prefer a little flavor. If you don’t mind the neutral taste, it’s perfectly fine on its own. Some people notice a slight aftertaste, which makes sense since it’s a psyllium fiber product, but I don’t find it too bad.This product has helped me stay regular, making elimination much easier. If you’re dealing with hemorrhoids, this could definitely provide some relief. One thing to note is that you might experience some mild stomach cramping when you first try it. To avoid that, I recommend starting with a smaller amount to let your stomach adjust. After that, you should be good to go.I’d definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a natural source of fiber!

9/23 Update: In April 2023 I paid nearly $12 per 12 oz container here. Now this & the other Amazon listings for this item are insanely priced. Unfortunately, I can't see a way to order directly from the manufacturer & other sites with shipping also make this product too expensive. ConsumerLab's top pick is Yerba Prima psyllium whole husks. While it has slightly less lead it's not organic, which is important to me especially with products like this where pesticides can't be washed off. So, now I must weigh if it's better to take nonorganic psyllium or none at all.Review:WARNING 1: Please read this before trying.Regarding the product: I'm so glad I read through reviews for the single can to see that a couple of people don't mix this in anything but instead put some in their mouth & swallow it with water.WARNING 2: Don't try this until you've finished reading this review. The 1st couple of times doing this was fine. I used a tablespoon for 2 scoops total. I would (& do) pour about 1/3 of a tablespoon at a time into my mouth, fill my mouth with some water (cold or room temperature), then swallow. So, I use the tablespoon like a regular spoon & end up doing 6 rounds of sprinkling husks into my mouth. Sometimes I'll also take an extra sip of water in between. Please be sure if you do this to also only sprinkle a small amount into your mouth at a time. If you want to make it easier use a teaspoon to ensure small amounts & repeat this 3 times per 1 tablespoon as 3 teaspoons equal 1 tablespoon. Unfortunately, one time I wasn't mindful & sprinkled more into my mouth. It didn't seem so bad at 1st. A couple of minutes later I felt a bad pain on the right side of my chest & began to cough uncontrollably. I coughed so much & so continually that I was barely able to draw in a tiny bit of air every few coughs. There was no way I could stop coughing enough to try to swallow some water to try to push it down. I honestly thought I was going to die. I expected to pass out, not be able to breathe, & die. It was one of the scariest experiences I've had. So, now I'm always mindful of each amount swallowed.WARNING 3: Also, do not drink it down with warm or hot water. The husks may swell, turn into gel, & could choke you. I've had hot tea about 5-10 minutes after taking the husks & that was not only fine but probably helpful as I want it to gel in my stomach to help fill me up.So, why do I still take it considering all this? Well for 1 reason, like I said, I'm now mindful of the amounts. For another, there's no way I'd take it like most do. Once I put in it hot tea & there was a gel lining the inside of my cup & it also covered my strainer. I was hoping stirring would dissolve it but no. I had to use a spoon to scrape it off. I'm not doing this. On a side note, you can use this to thicken recipes (keto ice cream) & even make gummy candy. I mixed some with hot water, stirred it, & let it sit in the fridge. It would have been enjoyable with some flavoring & stevia. For another reason, it's so easy & nearly tasteless which enables me to be compliant.Warning 4: According to ConsumerLab you want to take meds & supplements at least 1 hour before taking the husks & wait to take any more meds & supplements until at least 4 hours after. This is because psyllium can interfere with the absorption of meds & supplements.Results: I normally don't "produce" more than once or twice weekly at best. Taking these husks help me to go a little more often. I've had no digestive issues but I'm also prescribed narcotics which slows motility & am on a keto diet. My hub on the other hand, goes every other day or so but after taking just 1 tablespoon (the way I do) he went 3 times that day. There was no distress just more business to do. So, try a tablespoon on a day you're staying home just in case.Not only is this the best rated organic psyllium by ConsumerLab, it came with great customer service. After trying out a single can I decided to save money by ordering this 6 pack. While the packaging is great & sturdy for daily use it must be well protected during shipping. Unfortunately, my 1st order wasn't protected enough & 2 of the lids & metal pull tops were torn away from the cardboard containers leaving the husks spilled out inside the box. I'm guessing it was banged into in transit for this to happen. I immediately took pics & contacted the company through my order section. I was given a refund. So, I just received my 2nd order & it had brown paper bunched around the perimeter & the 6 containers were wrapped & taped some.

Great for your gut. Highly recommend

Five stars seller

On time, product as described

El producto está muy bueno. Me gusta que no tiene olor ni sabor y es fácil de disolver. Y funciona muy bien. Doy 4estrellas porque tardo en llegar el producto.

We like the product very much

I decided to try his after reading an article about the benefits.I no longer use it because of several things:1. It’s REALLY hard to get down your throat because it doesn’t dissolve in liquid….you're swallowing pieces of husk, and it’s not a good feeling inside the mouth.2. It gave me massive, major constipation , which in turn gave me massive, major hemoroids. It was a nightmare that lasted nearly a month.3. I’d didn't help my cholesterol level at all.S whatever you read about this stuff ….dont believe it.
