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

I’ve been taking Now Nutrition Psyllium Husk Fiber Powder daily for a few weeks and have been really happy with the results. It’s helped significantly with digestive regularity and overall gut comfort. I started small by taking a rounded teaspoon once a day with about 12 oz. of water mixing with an electric milk frother/stirrer. Once my body adjusted after a couple of days, I added another teaspoon later in the afternoon to another 12 oz of water. Now I've worked my way up to a tablespoon in the AM and another in the PM. I usually drink it right away before it thickens too much. You can definitely taste it; it has a mild, earthy flavor (almost peppermint-y flavor) but I don’t mind it at all. In fact, I kind of appreciate that it tastes like what it is: natural fiber with no artificial sweeteners or additives.It does thicken pretty quickly once it’s mixed, which is normal for psyllium, so I recommend stirring briskly and drinking it immediately. I also make sure to follow up with another glass of water, which helps it move through the system and do its job properly.What I really like is that this is a pure, simple product. No sugar, no fillers, no flavoring; just psyllium husk powder that works. It’s a great choice if you’re looking for a clean and affordable way to increase your daily fiber intake.Highly recommended if you want a dependable fiber supplement and are okay with a little natural flavor in exchange for a very effective product.

This is a fantastic product that helps me maintain regularity. While it may not be as convenient as pill forms, you definitely get more value for your money. I mix it with my protein shake and drink it quickly to help mask the taste. One important thing to remember is that you need to consume whatever you mix it with right away, as the liquid solidifies very quickly. If you can't drink it fast enough, you can use a spoon. Overall, this product keeps me regular, and the price is reasonable for the amount you receive.

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).

Good product. Standing warm water vs cold is easier to mix. I mix with same amount of collagen. Helps even more if you eat light and don't eat late at night before bed. Not to be gross but feels like a concrete mixer truck unloading a truck load of dukie and then I feel like a dog after laying one down and want to scratch and kick and chase ball after this life changing event. Something to write home about!

Effective, easy to mix, and the taste is fine for a natural fiber product, though you do have to drink it pretty quickly before it starts to thicken too much in the glass.

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!

It has no real flavor and can likely be added to most liquids. I use water and add a bit of chicken bouillon to make it a nicer drink. It will definitely thicken over a brief period of time and eventually become a goo. The longer it sits, the thicker it gets. It is not something you want to sip on for 15+ minutes, because of just how thick it gets (Now, this is with hot water... it may not thicken as quickly in cold, I dont know).If it does thicken on you, very vigorous stirring will get it to re-blend into the liquid and the goo effect can be negated.

I put this in water, nothing else. Within a minute it started getting thick. I got halfway through before I involuntarily spit it out. If it was mixed into a smoothy or into baked goods, I could see it being fine. Definitely don't drink it with plain water.
