NOW Food Whole Psyllium Husks are true dietary fibers, even though it is classified by some as a laxative or mucilaginous fiber, and is a convenient way to increase intake of dietary fiber because of its high mucilage content. This bulking agent swells considerably when added to liquid, which can help to support healthy gastrointestinal transit time. This bulking action and healthy transit time can play an important role in maintaining healthy gastrointestinal function.

Love this product! I use it to make non-toxic borax free slime for my daughter to play with. 1 tbsp psyllium with 1 cup water in a pot, stir and heat up, add dye and glitter!

Excelent source of fibre
I bought this for my cat who has some digestive issues. We've been giving her psyllium for about 5 years now. I give her 1/4 ts twice a day mixed into her wet food. Works well and she is fine with the taste. I use the psyllium myself mixed in water when I haven't eaten enough fibre. Would recommend.

This is a great product. When I'm down in the States it is easy to find bulk psyllium husk - even Walmart carries it. But it is not easy to find husk psyllium (as opposed to powder) in Canada, and for such an affordable price. Plus it does the body wonders, especially if you have somewhat sedentary employment. The SAD diet is deficient in fiber and this is a great way to increase it. Plus I hate those sugared orange and red powdered varieties.

I use Now Whole Psyllium Husks every evening with dinner. It is a great product.... excellent price, and I actually like the neutral taste (can't stand the orange and berry flavours some of the other brands have come up with). Also, it really works!

Excellent
I have been buying this for several years now as my husband is prediabetic and needs to increase his fibre intake. This product works like a charm, it disolves easily and doesn't cause bloating or cramps. I highly recommend it.

This is an excellent product. My husband and I take it each morning and we both find it keeps our digestive system running smoothly. We wouldn't be without it and even take it with us when we travel .
