Yerba Prima Psyllium Husks Powder - 12 oz (Pack of 3) - Natural Fiber Supplement - Colon Cleansing - Vegan, Non-GMO, Gluten-Free (New Label - Packaging May Vary)

I’ve suffered from hemorrhoids, constipation and occasional diarrhea since my 20s. (Thanks for the excellent genetics, Dad!) Now in my 50s, I’ve had enough of it all and wanted to make lifestyle changes. I had taken Miralax for years, and it worked for me, but my dr. said to try to get off of it. So toward that end, I bought this to try. Yes, it gives me occasional howitser style gas each day, but it isn’t uncomfortable or painful belly gas-you just have to pfffffft sometimes! Yes it thickens fairly quickly. I use an empty 8oz water bottle with cap, fill a quarter way with apple juice, put in a teaspoon of psyllium powder and shake. You can drink immediately or today I waited 5 minutes and it was like drinking loose applesauce. Not bad! The powder doesn’t dissolve. You can feel the grit as you drink. But it’s certainly pallateable. Then I follow with breakfast, which includes more fluids-a small glass of green smoothie and a cup of coffee or tea. I’ve been producing movements that are easy to pass and, um.. no cleanup required afterwards? I know, TMI, but you are reading a review of fiber powder so you might be interested to know!

I used this brand back in 1992, and I still go to it when a do a detox, make sure you drink at least 12oz of water before you drink the psyllium mix and 16oz of water afterwards. If you feel to bloated drink more water. You will see excellent results. Also check your pooping!! You will be surprised of what we accumulated through the year or years. DRINK IT 2 HOURS BEFORE EATING OR 2 HOURS AFTER EATING. Good luck.

I have difficulty digesting seeds, so this powdered psyllium is perfect. I use it daily and I've even given it to my 18 yr old cat if/when his stool becomes dry.

I’ve been using psyllium husk powder for a while now, and I’m really impressed with the results. It’s been a game-changer for my digestion! I’ve noticed that it helps me feel fuller for longer, which has been great for managing my appetite. It’s also significantly reduced other symptoms like bloating and discomfort. Overall, it’s a natural, easy-to-use supplement that has definitely made a positive impact on my gut health. I mix it with a small glass of juice. Highly recommend it!

It’s brutal, but effective. You need fiber. I mix 3 teaspoons with 6oz of water. I mix it well. Don’t let it gel! Then I guzzle it and chase it with coffee! That’s half of my fire by 8:00am!

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.

This Yerba Prima Psyllium Husks Powder 12 oz, works pretty good. But I am curious of why the difference between the Amazon purchased and the directly from Yerba Prima’s website. The one from Amazon has a pale color and the powder texture is rougher. The one from Yerba Prima’s website, is a lot darker and the powder is almost as fine as dust. You can see where I pressed the powder with my finger, how the dark one mixes with itself, like very fine powder does. Couldn’t help myself and went and bought a bottle of the same Yerba Prima Psyllium Husks Powder 12 oz at the local store And same thing, the color is darker from the Amazon bought one and also the thickness of the powder grind is thinner, almost like dust, just like the one bought straight from the Yerba Prima site. That would be the 3rd picture.

There is no flavor, but that's good. I'm allergic to the artificial sweeteners in Metamucil and as a diabetic, can't have the sugary ones. The texture on all of these products leaves something to be desired, but I mix it in smoothies, so the texture isn't an issue and it makes it so that particles don't stick in your throat like it does in thinner liquid. If you let it sit in water or juice to gel up, it blends even smoother. If you use seeded fruits like berries or kiwi you won't notice the texture at all. As PB2 peanut powder and cocoa powder, a little milk, honey and ice to 2 tsp of the psyllium husk powder and blend and you have ab low carb Recees peanut butter cup smoothie.
