NOW Foods Supplements, Psyllium Husk Powder, Non-GMO Project Verified, Soluble Fiber, 12-Ounce

Excellent fiber, really works great; I mix just one heaped spoon with 4% lactaid milk -no bad taste ; easy to swallow . Only issue is that you hav eto go >twice in the AM which could be a problem for those who have to leave home early.I will keep using it.

I mainly use psyllium husk to add volume to my meals / baked goods and increase satiation without too many extra calories. I'm not on a weight loss journey, but I like more volume with my meals. NOW Foods is one of the best quality options for psyllium husks (although I slightly prefer the Bob's Red Mill product).I already consume a lot of fiber in my diet, so I personally did not see a major difference in my digestion and bowel movement. But I do feel it helps a little with regularity and consistency.Usages-> Oatmeal / Porridge. If you like volume meals, psyllium husk is a great way to make a huge oatmeal or porridge bowl that will keep you satisfied for longer. I do personally think that regular husks work better than the powder, since it doesn't change as much the consistency. I usually add it after cooking (or when I meal prep overnight oats), with additional liquid; I don't like when I cook oats and psyllium together.-> Pancakes / Waffles / Omelettes. Added in the batter, psyllium husk adds volume, but also changes consistency. It will be more `sponge` like consistency, maybe not appealing for everyone. For pancakes and waffles I have used successfully both recipes that required specifically psyllium husks, and `regular` recipes in which I replaced flour with psyllium husk.-> Smoothies / Liquids / Gels. Psyllium husks mix very well in most liquids. You can make a simple tasteless gel just by mixing it with water and let it sit 3-5 minutes; or you can mix in with a little bit sweetener (Stevia, monk fruit, etc.), mix it with fruit juice, add it in smoothies and drink to make then thicker. It doesn't work with nut beverages (cashew or almond milk).-> Baking. The way I can tell the NOW Foods psyllium husk is really good quality is the way it behaves in baked good; it doesn't change color (other products add a purple hue) nor changes the taste (other products add a metallic taste). It works well combined both with regular wheat flour and gluten free flours (coconut, almond, tapioca, cassava, buckwheat), for large loaves of breads and small items like cupcakes and muffins. Psyllium husk definitely changes the consistency, it's more moist and spongy. The results are better if you use a good recipe with tested ratios between flours, psyllium husk and liquid, especially for bread and if you like a nice crust. But for cupcakes and muffins I just add a tsp or tbsp of psyllium husk powder and adjust liquid until I get the desired consistency.Container: I recommend keeping the aluminium seal after opening the product, it helps reduce the static which might cause the fine powder to fly around.

This stuff tastes reeeeelly awful...BUT...it works very welll to regulate the digestive system, so 5 stars here. I flunked the cholesterol test at my recent checkup and read that psyllium husk powder along with lifestyle changes can get cholesterol levels down. So, to avoid going on medication, I am trying this. Maybe it would taste better in apple juice than it does in plain water? Anyway, good product and good price.

A little basic but also get the job done.. plain, no taste other than husk.. not exciting but not bad either..

I use to use Metamucil which works great, but it has a lot of added ingredients. This is just phylum. It’s hard to dissolve but I have come up with a way to help mix it better. I put it in a jar, add water and shake shake shake. It mixes it well. Now I have to say Metamucil tastes better, but I feel better with natural ingredients. You can add a little powdered drink mix to make it taste better

Update 6/24/25 it thickens entirely too much and too fast! Not sure how effective it has been. Still constipated after a few days of use... Removed some stars... Will follow up again .Original review after one use::Definitely effective and gentle. I was constipated for 5 days. Laxatives stopped working and miralax did not work. Few google searches lead me to this product and boy was a happy after using recommended does 1tbs.I tried to start slow as instructed but that did not work fast enough for me.The product does thicken pretty quickly so chew-swallow-drink fast! I mixed with a little coffee as I could tolerate the thickness of the solution. Before I could finish, it thickened to much to drink. Pro tip take bit gollps and drink something in between or mix 2 half tablespoons separately.

I think I bought this a long time ago to make some kind of keto recipe. The recipe didn't work out, but many months later, I started suffering from constipation from a high protein diet. I was getting plenty of insoluble fiber, but not enough soluble. I started out with 1/2 tablespoon and boy is it enough. This stuff works better than laxatives and stool softeners. I wish I had taken this in all 4 pregnancies!Plus, if you need to drop a weight class, this stuff will do the trick lol easily drop 2-5lbs in 24 hours depending on how bad your intestines were, just be prepared to "work" for it.All this being said, I don't recommend taking it everyday. I stopped using it every other day because I seem to be back to normal now, and I think this fiber is why.10/10 would buy again

actually given to our medium size terrier in small amounts, have used for years and can tell a difference along with never had any issues with the product
