PSYLLIUM HUSKS POWDER – 12oz – Yerba Prima
BENEFITS: Psyllium Husks Powder is the strongest natural 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: 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 speed waste removal, take 1 to 3 servings a day, either 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 LOW CARB DIETS. Doctors recommend psyllium husks for people eating low carb diets, to help them get the extra fiber generally not provided in low carb diets.
FOR WEIGHT MAINTENANCE: 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.

This product has changed my life. No kidding. This is really great stuff. I simply mix a tablespoon in a small glass of apple juice every morning with breakfast and it really helps keep things moving as they should be. Like WD-40 for the colon. It’s difficult to explain without being overly graphic, but you just have to try it to believe it. There are lots of others that offer Psylluim Husks Powder, but the one from Yerba Prima is the best I’ve found. It’s a fine powder that mixes easily. It is also available from Yerba Prima in capsule form as well. It costs a little more, but is easier to use when traveling.

This is by far the best product for keeping you regular. Most people put it in a glass and try stirring it up and then try to drink it. It can be daunting getting it down. So here’s the best way I found to drink it. Take shaker bottle from any vitamin shop fill it with around 11 ounces of cold water. Then add a few squirts of honey to the water. Take you pre-measured husk or powder add it to the shaker bottle. Immediately start shaking it vigorously to get it all one consistency. Then drink it down all at once at a medium pace but fast enough before it becomes to viscous!
Once u get it down rinse that glass…

I have used Konsyl for years for diverticulosis. It wasn’t available for awhile so was searching for something else. This product comes the closest to Konsyl. It’s far better than Metamucil or Citrucel but Konsyl is better and glad it’s back on the market.

I love this stuff, this seriously keeps my system going. I have ulcerative colitis and follow a strict Paleo diet (leaning towards the SCD diet) and take this everyday in water with a splash of orange juice. I love this brand because it contains no sugar or anything else that I don’t want in my body). When I skip this it causes me to have a UC flare.

The best thing to take for keeping pipes clean. I normally mixed it with my oat meal so no funny taste at all.

One rounded tablespoon in your daily smoothie will make your digestion happy!! Flavorless, too! Just drink it up quickly. If you let it sit in your drink for more than a few minutes it’ll turn to sludge.
