NOW Foods Supplements, Whole Psyllium Husks, Non-GMO Project Verified, Soluble Fiber, 10-Pound

Are you new to drinking fiber? Do you stick to the types that dissolve into nothing, or take psyllium capsules to avoid the experience altogether? Well, this product will likely prove too advanced for your sensibilities. This is for real men and women who understand that the ends justify the means in the fiber world. Not sure into which category you fall? Continue reading. So, like many folks in fiberdom, I've typically used Metamucil in the past. Having completely gone through my stockpile of the orange-flavored sugar-free stuff, I decided to go back to what Metamucil refers to as the unflavored "coarse texture", which is what I used to take years ago. While not as easy to drink, it was a true power house, if you know what I mean. In looking for it this time, though, I noticed it has added sugar. Really? I don't know why they feel the need to sweeten something unflavored, especially when psyllium isn't bitter. Well, not wanting the unnecessary empty carbs, I decided to try something altogether new. Hence, I looked at all the whole husk psyllium options and settled on Now, given both the reviews and my positive history with the brand. To go back a little further, I started taking fiber over 20 years ago when I was working out all the time and eating on a high-protein diet. Needless to say, fiber made my time in the bathroom much more pleasant. It was then I quickly learned that dosing a 12oz glass of water and taking your time to stir it well led to something that I really didn't want to drink. You basically get a glass of swelled, nearly-flavorless sludge that you have to chug down. It didn't take long before I put a double dose into a rocks glass, stirred just enough to integrate, chugged immediately, and chased with plenty of water. (This method, while much less painless, is apparently not recommended due to it being a "choking hazard". Don't really see how you could choke, but to each their own.) Having said all that, my first experience with the Now whole-husk was fairly close to what I remembered from Metamucil's original unflavored coarse texture. I put a heaping tablespoon into a rocks glass and stirred quickly. It clumped a bit at first, almost like the stuff was hydrophobic. It ingrated quickly enough, though, and I tossed it back immediately. Yeah, I remember this taste. It has that kind of nondescript, bland cereal thing going on. While scoring quite low on the yummy-meter, it's not necessarily unpleasant, either. I then chased it with a big glass of water, swishing well to get the grit out of my teeth, refilled the glass, and left it in the sink. (Pro tip: Any "grit" left in an empty glass will dry and stick like little bits of concrete. I let the glass sit with water in it allowing any remaining fiber bits to swell, and then go back to wash it after.) Ok, at this point I've taken my first dose, so the only thing to do now is wait. Like I said at the begining, when it comes to fiber, the ends justify the means. For those that don't know, the "ends" I'm referring to is an oddly satisfying, quite large, and very clean poop. (If you know, you know.) Well, fast-forward to the next morning, and I'm eventually greeted by that all-too-familar "oh damn, it's that time" feeling. (Know what I mean, Vern?) So I sit down, give one long, relatively easy push, and viola. Done. The monster I left behind me was not angry. It had no teeth. It was simply a very polite gentle giant that was more than happy to incorporate all the rowdy characters in my bowels and exit the party with them in a very considerate manner. Such a gentleman. For those of you who have never taken "coarse" or whole-husk psyllium, it is far more effective then the fine-textured stuff. Is it a little less fun to take? Perhaps. Is the experience worth it, though? Oh yes, my friend. If you're not sure, go ahead and give it a shot anyway. A pound of this stuff is very reasonably priced, and it's well worth trying out. If you're an old pro like me, this is a no-brainer. Happy gut, happy butt. What more could you ask for in such a fiercely fearless fibrous friend? Not much as far as I'm concerned. We're biffles for sure, and if this were the days of MySpace, he'd definitely be in my Top 8. ***Oh, and if you are new to fiber, make sure you do your research on how it can impede the effectiveness of supplements and medications, if taken too close together. I usually take my vitamins and evening medications immediately before or after dinner, and then I take fiber right before bed. If I'm watching my weight, I'll sometimes take fiber before dinner, in which case I wait until I go to bed to take my vitamins and meds. If you're just just taking a few psyllium caps, this isn't an issue. If you're taking a full dose of whole-husk/powdered and mixing it with water, though, you need to keep tining in mind.

If you're looking for a simple and effective way to boost your fiber intake, this NOW Foods Whole Psyllium Husks product is an excellent choice. The quality is top-notch, and it's highly effective for anyone needing to increase their daily fiber, especially to help with constipation. Unlike other products, this one is gentle on the stomach and doesn't cause cramps, as long as you start with a small amount and gradually increase it. Mixing and Taste Mixing it is simple. The husks have a light, natural tan color, which shows that the product is pure and free from any artificial dyes. I find that 1 tablespoon per 12 oz glass of water is the perfect ratio for a smooth, drinkable texture. Any more psyllium, and it gets too thick for my liking. While the taste is relatively neutral, the key to making it pleasant is to use enough water. I always mix it and let it sit for a couple of minutes to let the husks fully hydrate. This simple step makes a big difference. A Must-Have for Travelers I especially appreciate that it comes in a bag. At home, I transfer it to an airtight container, but the bag is incredibly convenient for travel. It doesn't take up much space or add bulk to my luggage, which is a huge bonus compared to bulky plastic bottles. As someone who travels often, I always pack this. It's a lifesaver for the digestive discomfort that can come from eating different foods or even fast food on the road. Crucial Health Tip: Drink Plenty of Water! This is the most important part: you must drink enough water. Psyllium is a soluble fiber that absorbs water and forms a gel, so it needs plenty of fluids to move through your digestive system smoothly. My doctor recommended drinking one full glass of water with the psyllium, and then another full glass right after. This helps prevent dehydration and potential intestinal obstruction. Overall This is a fantastic product that offers excellent quality and is a great value for the price. It's effective, easy to use, and incredibly convenient for my lifestyle. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a reliable fiber supplement.

Good quality product that works as expected. The psyllium husk helps with digestion and regularity, and I like that it’s pure with no unnecessary additives. Easy to mix if you drink it right away and use plenty of water. Great value and effective fiber supplement.

I’ve been using NOW Foods Whole Psyllium Husks in my gluten-free recipes, and they’ve been fantastic. The husks are high quality, non-GMO, and provide excellent soluble fiber, which really helps with texture and binding in gluten-free baking. They mix in easily and don’t have a strong taste, so they work well in a variety of recipes—from breads to muffins. I feel confident using this product for both nutrition and recipe consistency. Definitely a staple in my gluten-free pantry! It has upped my gluten free baking game! Also, the most reasonable online I could find.

Be aware that this product could contain sesame. Also, I assumed it was organic when I specified that in my search. However, the price is good for the amount of product as compared to name brands. Have not tried it yet .
