Size:1 Pound Whole (Case Pac of 12) Psyllium is the husk of the seeds of the Plantago, also known as Isabgol or Psyllium. Psyllium contains a high level of soluble dietary fiber that reduces appetite, improves digestion and cleanses the system, making it an excellent choice for healthy dieting. Psyllium is the chief ingredient in many commonly used bulk laxatives. It can provide the fiber that is missing on low carbohydrate diets. Psyllium is produced mainly for its mucilage content. The term mucilage describes a group of clear, colorless, gelling agents derived from plants. The mucilage obtained from psyllium comes from the seed coat. Mucilage is obtained by mechanical milling (i.e. grinding) of the outer layer of the seed. Mucilage yield amounts to about 25% (by weight) of the total seed yield. Plantago-seed mucilage is often referred to as husk, or psyllium husk. The milled seed mucilage is a white fibrous material that is hydrophilic, meaning that its molecular structure causes it to attract and bind to water. Upon absorbing water, the clear, colorless, mucilaginous gel that forms increases in volume by tenfold or more.

works great!!!
I have to say this stuff has been the most natural way for me to be more "regular" than anything i have tried in the past. No side effects for me personally which has been the case with all the other products I've tried before. It does take a couple of days for your stomach to get used to this so hang in there..it should work. I recommend taking one teaspoon with 12-16oz of LUKEWARM water for a couple of weeks to see how it affects you then increase to perhaps 2 teaspoons per day which is what i currently take(everybody is different so you should start off small and increase slowly to your desired effect)..stir it well for about 2-5 minutes and drink it. Try your best to drink more water throughout your day in small portions. It seams to work out best for me when I take this after a couple of hours after eating a big lunch which is usually my biggest meal. If I take it after dinner i end up waking up having to relieve myself due to all the water I've drank so that's why I take it mid day. Been taking this for approx 60 days now and it's working out great. One word of caution..this probably will not be all that effective if you are still consuming a fair amount of processed carbs including bread, cereal, etc.. or other highly indigestible foods that wreak havoc on your colon so you will want to really take a close look at your current diet and do your due diligence. One word of advice as well...rather than trying to figure out what you should be eating to be more regular and have a healthy digestive system, focus on foods to avoid at all cost and then you will be left with a wide open path to what you should be eating...that's my approach anyways.

I know it's disgusting to say it out loud but
OMG! Idk where to begin!!!! Yeeeesssss!!!! I know it's disgusting to say it out loud but, I can finally poop!! You have no idea how long I have been dealing with constipation, bloating and distention! I have had multiple endoscopies and colonoscopies done. Had a bunch of tests done!! Took amitiza and linzess with no success. Went on different diets and exercises with no success. I have tried different kinda probiotics and fiber supplements and wasted lots of money, but they didn't work. I have taken laxatives max 3 pills of dulcolox once or twice a week. I usually took them once a week and sometimes they didn't work so I'd take another dose. The GI doctor just said, you don't have to poop everyday. I told him I was full of sh!t tho and I don't get the urge to go! He said, like many others have said, there's no known cause for constipation and therefore there's no cure for it than lifestyle schanges. I basically just gave up!I read reviews on different constipation remedies and decided to try this particular one. Keep in mind I have take another brand of psyllium husk before with no luck. I started taking it one table spoon twice a day. I started on a Thursday by Monday morning I got the urge and pooped! OMG! It's a miracle!! Is it really happening? Finally? It can't believe!! After a week of taking it twice a day, I cut back and now I am on a once a day dosage. I take one table spoon at night before bed. Next morning, I have a great BM. I am planning on going to see my GI doctor just so that I can inform him about this miracle!I am so happy! The bloating and distention are getting much much better and I know they'll all go away as I keep pooping. All I can say is this, I really hope this will continue to work for as long as I live!PS: This supplement does not have any taste which makes it easier to take. At first I mixed it with water, but now I mix it with a little bit of juice so that it's thick like apple sauce. I use any juice I have and take it with a spoon like apple sauce. Right after taking it, I'd drink at least 8oz or more of water and drink plenty of water thought out the day. I actually like it when I mix it with juice like apple sauce.

A Great FIber Product!!
For a long time I bought Trader Joe's psyllium seed for use as a great fiber source, taking a coffee measure full each morning. When TJ's ran out of stock a few years back I found this product, which I really like better, and have been using daily for the last 3 years. Now, there's no intent to criticise the TJ brand, but I like the Organic aspects and especially the appearance. The seeds have a uniform size & color, a pleasant light brown, and there is never anything else but the seed in the batches. Excellent QC on the product and the packaging is as good as it gets. The health benefits of fiber is that your food passes through & out in the simplest manner, minimizing potty time, which is good for those with hemorrhoids. You can tell within a day if you stop using this product. I usually take it in every afternoon and the 'effect' occurs the following morning say within an hour of getting up.. Let me add that once you sense a BM forming, don't put off finding a bathroom!! Supposedly fiber like this also lower cholesterol; I've read this but am not an expert. I really like the direct simplicity of this terrific product compared to commercial fiber products, which add sugars & much else and are tremendously expensive too. So, simplify, fellow constipatorians & just take this natural fiber product every single day.
