Yerba Prima Psyllium Husks Powder - 12 oz - Natural Fiber Supplement - YP

Yerba Prima powder has become a staple in my daily wellness routine. Its high-quality formulation and versatility make it a standout product. I appreciate the convenience of incorporating it into my favorite drinks or smoothies, and its gentle yet effective nature contributes to a healthier digestive system. While the taste may take some getting used to, the overall benefits for gut health and regularity make it well worth the adjustment.

I bought this and the same brand's whole husks version, and there is no question that this one is more tolerable to the taste. Still has a mushroom juice kind of flavor, but mixed with enough water (I find 10 oz does the trick) and consumed while holding my breath, it's nearly tasteless in the end. With this powder, there is virtually no texture, either. I also researched before buying, and this brand is considered the best when it comes to ingredients, i.e., chemicals that the plants absorb from the soil (it's reported to contain the lowest). I consider this a quality product and will be buying it again.

I chose this brand for this product because it named as the one with the least lead: obviously I have no way to verify that by personal experience. It has no flavoring, so I need to have some sort of juice on hand: that's ok. The "powder" isn't as fine as the other product I used: it's grainier by the bottom of the quick drink. So far that has only affected my bowel health slightly, in that my morning movement is less intact. To sum up, these aspects are not deal-breakers, and I will deal with them to be ingesting less lead.

I've been taking psyllium products for years, and this is the easiest to mix and drink. Secret is to start with less water and mix it as a liquidy paste and then add more water. Due to it being a finer fiber than most it's easier to drink almost just like water.

I've used psyllium in some form for many years for relief of constipation. I prefer the smooth husk powder to the whole husks because it's easier to drink. You have to mix well to dissolve it but then it works very well as a source of fiber for regularity and bowel health. I've heard that Yerba Prima brand is lower in lead than some others and that is a big plus.
