ORGANIC INDIA - Psyllium Whole Husk Fiber - 12 oz (340 g) Canister

I have IBS and my doctor advised me to take this for my overall health. After researching I found this POWDER (versus husk) and, while more expensive, I learned that you take less of it. It is easy to mix, easy to swallow and has little taste!

Strange that there have not been any new reviews for so long. I have suffered from IBS,GERD and brain fog for many, many years so have taken many supplements over the years. Only a few have actually been effective and will likely be in use by me for the foreseeable future. This is one of them. I have no idea if it does anything for my gerd but it definitely helps with ibs and digestion etc. It's also a great source of fibre and helps with cholesterol. It's not a 'tasty' product but it's not that bad really. It's the texture more than anything. I had a kidney stone a while back and have since drunk lots of water throughout the day and this is something you will have to do if you're taking husk. Also, keep in mind to leave a gap between taking the husk and taking any supplements and meds. If you research this brand, you'll find they have a really good reputation and this husk in particular is well regarded.

Like this psyllium husk. It does float on top of the water a little at first, so you need to stir it well, but overall it mixes pretty easily. Compared with another brand I used before, this one doesn’t clump together or thicken nearly as quickly, which makes it much easier to drink. Overall, I’m happy with it and would buy it again.

This is a definite re-order. This was the first time I purchased. It doesn't have any flavor or odor and you definitely feel full! I stated small as recommended and immediately jumped to 1 tablespoon without issues. I have a bigger mug, so it will probably make your 8oz drink thick. I use it in my morning hot protein, collagen, vitamin C, chicory, hazelnut flavored drink mixed with mostly water and some oatmilk for creaminess. I do have to keep stirring periodically to keep it mixed from settling from the bottom, but the mixing is not an issue. I am not a breakfast eater and this helps a lot on top of my protein drink. Digestively, it will get you moving. Texture wise, it thickens up your drink. I like it and I will be buying again. This is a morning staple for me now.

great

Didn’t come with a plastic lid, I put in seperate container, this was suggested to me from my friend, I’ve taken Metamucil, benefiber , I’ve been suffering with severe painful constipation for over a year, saw GI, got colonoscopy endoscopy n only thing was gastritis, I was given linzess n hated it, I have been doing everything under the sun to help my constipation, I’ve been drinking this for 3 days n I’m shocked literally shocked, not to be graphic but I’ve got more in 3 days than I have in a year, I definitely will be buying more n only using this n honestly I like it, drinking it ain’t bad at all, WIN WIN

According to my online research this is a good brand and to be trusted. Product as I expected. Works as expected. I am slowly working my way up to 2 teaspoons twice a day, morning and before supper. I take this mixed in water (do not wait long bc starts to gel in like a minute or so). I down the first glass then have a full glass of water after that. This must be taken with plenty of water. If you take it before your biggest meal it will slow digestion and make you fuller in addition to the great gut benefits it has.

This is by far my favorite brand of Psyllium Husk, and it's what I recommend to my patients as independent testers also rate it the best. IMHO, Psyllium is THE best form of fiber because it's a gel-forming fiber that resists fermentation. I could go into all of the health benefits (go-to initial treatment for IBS, natural stool softener yet gives bulk/form to loose stools, supports a health gut microbiome, can improve gassiness/flatulence, can lower cholesterol to a small degree by binding it up in your GI tract), but that's something your doctor should tell you. I like several things about it: 1) It's granules, not powder. I can mix this into pulp-free OJ and it feels like I'm just drinking OK. It goes down very easily. I think the granules are less likely to clump into big globs the way the powders can. 2) No additives or unintended ingredients. Some name brands like Metamucil will add flavorings and artificial sweeteners to theirs, but I don't want that. Most mornings, I mix this and some creatine into a shaker bottle and I drink it as I read the news or prep charts for the day. The shaker bottle lets me re-mix it if I've left it sitting for a few minutes. Psyllium absorbs water, and these granules will swell up and become more like a gel if you leave it for too long (again shaking it up to mix it helps). I've tried the powders and I still prefer this one by a long shot-- the powders still clump even in shaker bottles or stirred in a glass. When you start taking it, I recommend starting with a teaspoon for 1-2 weeks, then upping the amount to the full tablespoon. Don't expect overnight results, as some improvement comes from the suppport it gives to the bacteria in your GI tract.

Effectiveness: This ORGANIC INDIA psyllium husk powder has been absolutely wonderful for supporting my digestive health and regularity in a gentle, natural way. The whole husk fiber works excellently for maintaining healthy bowel movements without the harsh effects of stimulant laxatives that can cause cramping or dependency. I've noticed significant improvements in digestive comfort and consistency since incorporating this into my daily routine. The powder mixes well with water, juice, or smoothies and doesn't have an unpleasant taste or gritty texture that makes some fiber supplements difficult to take. The soluble fiber also helps me feel more satisfied after meals, which has been beneficial for maintaining healthy eating habits. Quality: ORGANIC INDIA has built an excellent reputation for high-quality herbal supplements, and this psyllium powder maintains their superior standards. The USDA certified organic designation gives me confidence about purity and sustainable sourcing without pesticides or chemical treatments. The whole husk formulation provides better fiber content and effectiveness compared to processed psyllium products that may have reduced potency. The powder quality is consistent with fine texture that dissolves well without clumping or leaving residue. The vegan and gluten-free formulation makes this suitable for various dietary needs and restrictions. Value for Money: This organic psyllium powder provides outstanding value for natural digestive support that's far more cost-effective than constantly buying processed fiber products or dealing with digestive discomfort. The organic certification and whole husk quality justify the premium price compared to conventional alternatives that may contain fillers or processing chemicals. The versatility for mixing into various beverages and foods makes this more practical than fiber capsules or tablets that require multiple pills daily. The gentle effectiveness and sustained results make this a worthwhile investment in long-term digestive health and overall wellness. This psyllium powder has become an essential part of my daily wellness routine and provides excellent digestive support. Highly recommend consulting with healthcare providers about incorporating fiber supplementation, especially when starting new digestive health routines!

I have been using Psyllium off and on for years and find it extremely helpful if you have IBS or similar. This particular brand I find excellent and am on my second tin. There is no problem with removing the tin lid when first opening. I see that other reviewers have said it is awkward and unsafe. It is the same type of lid used on some brand of peanut containers. There is a plastic lid for normal use that just clips on firmly. Just to show how good this stuff is I will use my dog as an example. She had diarrhoea for two years. It went from liquid to runny to very soft in cycles. I tried everything I could think of from Slippery Elm to adding rice to her food. I feed raw. Nothing made the slightest jot of difference. The vet hadn't got a clue and just said something is wrong somewhere. Well yes! Anyway I was Googling yet again to try and find something to help when I read on a forum that a dog owner had used it for her dog with great results. I checked up that it was safe for dogs and that night put a heaped teaspoon in her dinner and added water which was soaked up. I was a little worried that I had no means of making her take the amount of water recommended on the product, but after several of weeks of use there have been no problems. Right from the first dose it worked. She has had no more problems with diarrhoea and or loose motions. In humans it works for both diarrhoea and constipation.
