Yerba Prima – Organic Psyllium Whole Husks – 12 oz. (340 g)
Yerba Prima Organic Pysllium Whole Husks Powder provides gentle, soothing fiber for regularity and heart health. Psyllium Whole Husks is an high quality colon cleansing dietary fiber for promoting regularity and supporting heart health. It is most effective when used everyday, and can be used as long as desired.
There are many reasons why psyllium husks are a part of daily health maintenance for millions of people. Extensive research has shown that psyllium husks help maintain normal cholesterol levels, including a proper balance of HDL and LDL cholesterol.
In addition, psyllium husks help promote normal regularity. Unlike stimulant laxatives, psyllium husks are gentle and are not habit forming. Psyllium husks’ bulking action makes elimination easier and more comfortable. At the same time, psyllium sweeps waste and toxins more quickly out of the body, so toxins are not reabsorbed from the colon back into the bloodstream. Psyllium husks can be taken either with or between meals, and when used in recommended amounts should not interfere with absorption of vitamins and other nutrients. Gluten-Free: psyllium husks do not contain any gluten so people who are gluten sensitive can use them.
- For Regularity and Colon Health:Â Psyllium husks promote easy, healthy elimination and sweep waste out of the colon more quickly. Psyllium husks provide gentle fiber to soothe and normalize the bowel when there is discomfort. To maintain regularity and colon health, take 1 to 3 servings a day, with or between meals.
- For Heart Health:Â To help maintain normal cholesterol levels and support heart health, take 2 servings a day, with meals.
- For Weight Maintenance:Â Dietary fiber plays an important role in weight maintenance.? High fiber foods like psyllium husks help promote satiety, or a feeling of fullness.? To help support weight maintenance, take 1 to 3 servings a day, shortly before or with meals.
Suggested Use
Adults and Children over 12:Â 1 Tablespoon, 1 to 3 times a day.
Children 6-12:Â 1 teaspoon, 1 to 3 times a day.

I bought this for myself and my dog. She doesn’t mind when I mix it with coconut water and it’s helped to solidify her poo. I’m not a huge fan as there are some pretty large and gritty pieces in there. It works well and is flavorless, but the grit was a little weird.

I swear by this product. I take 1 tablespoon in the morning in a large glass is warm water. There is no taste. It is a little thick, but it goes down easy and it works. I have become very regular with the use of this product and I am highly satisfied.

Great product

I have struggled with constipation most of my life and fiber is the only thing that keeps me regular. For a long time I was using an orange-flavored fiber, but I was tired of the gross artificial taste and wanted something different. This is perfect for me, as I mix it in a blender bottle with coffee and chocolate protein powder to make a quick and nutritious breakfast.
It has almost no flavor, especially when you add it to something like coffee or milk, and if you use a blender bottle it actually blends in very well and doesn’t leave much residue. And it works! I drink it in the morning and then after my morning walk I have a bowel movement that leaves me feeling cleaned out. Someone called it “Drano for your gut” and it’s so true. Love this stuff, I’m a fan for life.

Yerba Prima Psyllium Whole Husks, 12-Ounce and Metamucil for flavor along with MiraLAX helps to add bulk to my diet. It also helps with digestive health and stool elimination – recommended by my Gastroenterologist after two bicycling accidents on the bicycling path on November 28, 2006, I needed an L4&L5 fusion in 2007, total right knee replacement 2010 as well as carpal tunnel surgery of both hands in 2011-2012.

This is the only thing that helped my diarrhea go away. I was having it for a month or so and probiotics did not help, bland foods did not help, nothing. My dad told me about how his doctor recommended it to him years ago so I tried it. Helped me get back to normal and my stomach/ intestines feel better starting after the first use. I will definitely continue using this to help with my IBS. I only take it as needed now.

Have been taking about a year now. I take 1 tsp. soaked in at least 1 cup water each evening. Then follow with more water. I also add 1/2 tsp. Redmond’s Bentonite Clay to the fiber cocktail. Helps with cleansing.

I like this whole husk much better than powder

Let me just say that having flavor and presentation as rating values for fiber is just priceless 🙂 Considering what this stuff is, and what its for, there’s no room here for yumminess or umami or what have you. This is biological Drano and its mmm mmm healthy!
Seriously though, this stuff is the real deal. The big brands will use psyllium but add softeners and bleach it to make it more soluble or pleasant or what have you. Be a big adult-person and just handle it, huh? This stuff does not dissolve in anything milder than hydrofluoric acid (I see you Breaking Bad fans there!) but honestly that is not a big deal. Stir, agitate, spin and then consume. Gulp it all down before it settles. You’ll still have to deal with the beach-sand dregs at the bottom of the glass. I found something carbonated works wonderfully at helping hold this stuff in suspension for the extra minute you need to chug it.
Efficacy. That is why you are drinking this. This stuff works. You are processing some raw vegetable fiber and your body will thank you after all those pounds of processed foods you shovel in, honest to God. This stuff works and there’s no bloat or gas or what have you, in my experience. I am about eight months plus and three tubs in at this point, and it works like a charm. Just fiddle with your dosage until you are content with… the results. Everyone’s plumbing is different, don’t blame the psylluim at first!
