Yerba Prima Psyllium Husks Powder, 12 OZ 3 pk

Where do I begin? Really. This product has literally (not figuratively) changed my life. I had for many years (ago) had the unhealthy diet of a young person, HS cafeteria food, college dorm food and then young adult figuring it all out. And I had the digestive issues that comes with it all. I became interested in fiber supplements as I started to normalize my diet and realized that it was a necessary complement to our eating habits. Short of becoming a hunter gatherer it is near impossible to eat the prerequisite amount of the correct kind of fiber, or at least it is difficult. With Yerba Prima Psyllium Husk you still have to eat healthy but you don't have to worry about getting the fiber, because you can easily and regularly add it to your diet with this product. I have become something of a proselytizer of Yerba Prima Psyllium Husk, I have gotten my friends on it, my family, even people at work. If someone complains of a digestive ailment, my first Rx to them is psyllium. I have also had other brands and none work as well as this one. I have even had their other products, such as the husks that are not ground to a powder, and again not close to this one. I go so far as to pack a small bottle of this with me when I travel so that even for one day I am not without my precious Prima. Though to be sure, it does not create a dependency or tolerance, it is just that I like how I feel with it and my regularity is that much more comfortable. Many people ask me how I take it, because it is kind of an acquired routine. What I tell people is try it for one week, it can be disconcerting at first to drink, but it is almost tasteless and if you use this method you will not feel the texture. What I do is take a plastic disposable Solo cup (those plastic party cups), fill it with cool but not cold water, then take a teaspoon or tablespoon (I do the latter) of Psyllium husk powder, drop it in, stir it rapidly and while it is still swirling from your stirring, drink the entire cup down without stopping. Do not stop mid-way or if you do you might not be able to finish (which is ok, try again the next day). I use disposable cups because the powder will cling to your glass over time no matter how much you clean it and then it becomes like concrete and is tough to remove. I use the same cup for a few weeks, so it is not too wasteful but I have found it is preferable to using a glass (which could also break from the rapid stirring required to get the powder into solution). Also, use whatever temperature water you can drink quickly, I err on warmer water otherwise the coldness is tough to drink rapidly. Either way, find a method, it is worth it. Try it for one week, it will change your life. Seriously.

I have used product for several years and well satisfied. Latest batch does not dissolve in water, is lumpy and not drinkable. Product cannot be returned but it is defective and I want a refund.

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 been using Yerba Prima products for many years and very satisfied with outcomes. A little pun there? Nevertheless, a great product for lower GI health in my experience. The powder dissolves well and the taste is unoffensive. The price is quite a bit lower than my local retailers. Only complaint is this vendor ships slow. It took almost 2 weeks to arrive.
