Herbal Secrets USDA Certified Organic Psyllium Husk 16 Oz- Vegan, Dairy Free, (Non-GMO), Gluten Free, no Sugar-Supports Intestinal & Digestive Health,Supports Healthy Weight Management*

It's easy to find psyllium powder, but I've had some trouble periodically finding the whole husk. Recipes behave completely differently if you're using powder vs husk. I had some meals get ruined when all I could find was the powder. Luckily, this option appeared compared to my usual source, and the price is reasonable enough.

This product keeps me regular and comfortable. It is practically tasteless and is effective.

Take it every day.

I thought the amount in the container looked small so I weighed the contents and it was about 2 ounces/56 grams short. As expensive as psyllium has gotten I don't appreciate being shorted.

good product

Initially I tried mixing this product with water and drinking it straight like you would with metamucil but it was horrible. It is not flavored and when mixed with water it is very gritty and thick. Then later I tried putting it in smoothies and in cooked oatmeal and it worked out great. It really does improve GI performance and stool quality. It will make your smoothies and oatmeal a little thicker so add extra water or soy milk. The only downside is that there is a warning label stating that there is lead in the product. I'm not sure the source of the lead be it from manufacturing or the soil but it would be nice if the company was more transparent about this including the source and amount of lead that is contained in the product.

This product does what it is used for. However the maker does not fill the containers to the amount specified on the package which is 16 oz. When I opened the 16 oz. container it looked like it was not filled that much. I used a highly accurate kitchen scale to weigh the contents and found one contained 14.84 oz and the latest one I purchased had only 14.1 oz. Since these containers were ordered months apart, I can only conclude this shorting is deliberate.

This is the best psyllium product I’ve used. I’m celiac and use this in many gluten free/grain free bread recipes. The husks are fresh - never any hint of turning rancid like I’ve encountered with other brands. For some recipes I must grind them into a powder, but I appreciate their coarser texture in rolls mixed with sunflower and pumpkin seeds. It helps achieve a whole-meal texture that is usually lacking in gluten free baked goods.I also sprinkle them into my nondairy yogurt which I prepare the night before with chia seeds, raw cacao nibs, and some cinnamon. I wait about 10 minutes after stirring them in before I eat the yogurt. During that time they absorb liquid and expand and create a thick and yummy texture. I’ve never just drank them by stirring them into water. They are tasteless so I stir them into yogurt, chia puddings, and use them in baking recipes. If you eat grains, you can easily stir them into your bowl of hot cereal and wouldn’t even notice they’re there. I add them to my elderly mother’s morning oatmeal or muesli and she’s never realized it. Just make sure you drink a whole glass of water (or juice, tea, coffee, etc) when you eat them. If you’ve incorporated them into a meal, then you will naturally have your drink with them and won’t be trying to “force down” a whole glass in under a minute.
