The Vitamin Shoppe Psyllium Husks Powder – Fiber Supplement That Supports Regularity & Healthy Cholesterol, Easy Mixing Powder – 68 servings, 1-3 Times Daily (12 Ounces Powder)

I'd used psyllium husk for a while, decided to see if/what difference using the powder made. I find I prefer it, simply for ease of mixing, though I've never attempted it in water. I add a rounded teaspoon to my morning smoothie, taking it only once per day. The taste of psyllium is noticeable but not overwhelming, it doesn't clump, and it doesn't spoil my smoothie, which would make it a difficult daily supplement to continue with. In fact, it helps thicken the smoothie, a good thing for me. And the stuff works like a charm, I'm a regular girl now after many years of being the opposite.Bottoms up! :)

I have struggled with irregularity for as long as I can remember. I started taking this two weeks ago, and I haven't felt this good in a long time. I didn't realize how much is affected by not being regular. I feel lighter and cleaner, and I have sooooo much more stamina and energy. I'm not a doctor, but here are some helpful hints when taking PHP:1. The directions say to start with 1 rounded teaspoon, but I recommend half of that to begin. I was a little bloated for the first week until my body adjusted to the powder. After that, I increased my dosage about 1/8 of a teaspoon every few days and am up to 2 teaspoons a day now. Don't be afraid to lighten up the dose until your body adjusts. It will work no matter what.2. Don't mix with water. It tastes like cardboard, so juice works better. I mix one teaspoon with 18 oz. of Crystal Light and I don't taste the powder at all. The label suggests at least 8 oz. of fluid, but I tripled that to kill the taste.3. And, use a reusable water bottle. This stuff settles if you let it sit for more than a minute, so you'll want to close it and shake it up every so often.I feel great and will definately order more!

This becomes VERY thick when you add it to water - I have taken it a couple of times - I have no idea if it does anything, because it seriously grossed me out and I stopped taking it. I would recommend putting it in a smoothie - adding to just water is like drinking apple sauce.

This product is the active ingredient in Metamucil and other similar fiber products. I have elderly cats that have bowel issues, and when the vet recomments fiber supplements, I use Vitamin Shoppe ground psyllium husks. It has no flavoring or anything else added, so it is ideal for veterinary use. I'd advise it to be used on pets only with veterinary recommendation. Additionally, this company ships promptly, and with both orders (I have ordered this product twice), it delivered days ahead of the estimate. Kudos to a great product and a great company.

This product is not even up to any standard for nutritional value. I base my opinion on added ingredients such as animal products-fish by products-sugar-starch-modified starch. I should have picked up on the fact there is no ingredient/nutritional guide on Amazon for this product. In my opinion there is no need for anything other than psyllium in this. I drink it in water and or protein. It is nasty. Plain and simple.

As most of the other reviews stated, this product DOES exactly what it is suppose to. It definitely keeps you regular and you feel lighter and cleaner. I ALWAYS just mix with water and just gulp it down-quickly, and then I would follow with more water to get rid of any after-taste. Shipping was very fast, maybe 3-4 days and the price is excellent. I will be re-ordering!

vitamin shoppe phylllium husk powder is the best i've tried. no extra crap added...and it's finely milled so it mixes well into alot of things. i've added it to smoothies, soups, yogurt, juice. i used meal replacement shakes and they weren't filling enough for me....adding 1-2 teaspoons of the psyllium husk powder really made the difference. it's made it alot easier for me to sneak extra fiber in where i need it.

Overall, this product does what it's supposed to do. You can't beat the price, and it was delivered fast (I think it took about 4 days total with standard shipping).On the downside, it makes everything you put it in taste like cardboard. I was hoping for no taste, but no luck there. Seriously, no matter what you do and how much you try to cover it up, EVERYTHING is going to taste like cardboard. So, with that in mind, it's best to just put it in a glass of water and drink it down to get it over with, and chase it with another glass to get the taste out of your mouth.Still, despite the taste, it's totally worth it. Another plus is that there's no filler or BS. 4.5g carbs of which 100% is fiber, so no unnecessary calories or carbs.I will definitely buy this again when I run out.
