Yerba Prima Psyllium Husk, 12 Ounce - Whole Husk Fiber Supplement, Vegan, No Sugar or Artificial Sweeteners, Non GMO, Gluten Free

Let me start by saying this: fiber is your friend. A loyal, dependable friend that keeps things moving in the right direction, promotes digestive harmony, and generally makes life a little smoother. And Yerba Prima Psyllium Whole Husks? This stuff is the gold standard. No fillers, no weird additives—just pure, wholesome fiber that’ll get the job done. But let me also say this: respect the fiber. Because if you don’t, things can get... complicated. I speak from experience. Like many who embark on a fiber journey, I started off responsibly—one dose, mixed with water, feeling virtuous and digestive-health-conscious. Things were good. Too good. I was feeling light, efficient, like a well-oiled machine. So naturally, in my infinite wisdom, I thought, “If a little fiber is good, then a lot of fiber must be amazing.” Which is how I found myself accidentally quadrupling the recommended dose for several days. At first, nothing happened. Then, something happened. Then, everything happened all at once. Bloating? Check. Strange noises emanating from my gut like an old house settling at night? Check. A growing sense of doom? Oh, absolutely. By day three, I was in uncharted territory. My stomach felt like a bag of cement being slowly inflated by a bicycle pump. The mere act of sitting down too quickly was a risky maneuver. There was an ominous pressure, the kind that makes you reevaluate your life choices. I briefly considered calling a doctor, but what was I going to say? “Help, I’ve made some very poor decisions with psyllium husks?” Thankfully, nature ran its course (several times), and I lived to tell the tale. But let my suffering be a cautionary tale: fiber is not a thrill ride. It is not a dare. It is not a test of wills. It is a responsible, measured commitment. That being said, when used correctly, this stuff is fantastic. It keeps things moving like a well-regulated train schedule, supports heart health, and generally makes you feel like a more functional human being. Just stick to the serving size unless you want to experience what I now call “The Reckoning.”

This is a great product! I've just begun using it and my stomach feels so good! While I applaud those brave souls who can drink this down simply mixed in liquid, I have trouble doing that. Perhaps as I get more used to the whole husks, it won't bother me as much. What I love doing is mixing it with yogurt in the morning. It is fantastic! It adds a nice thickness and a bit of lovely texture to the yogurt. It blends well and doesn't turn into a scary gelatinous mess which can happen if it is allowed to sit too long in plain liquid. The perfect consistency for me is to put two teaspoons of the psyllium in every 1/4 cup of plain yogurt. I don't eat the very thick Greek style yogurt and so don't know if adding the psyllium would make a mess of it, but I'm sure it can be properly proportioned with a bit of experimentation, particularly if you add frozen fruit and other things that render additional liquid. I would just start with small amounts and observe what happens! I'm still figuring out its uses and will try adding it to oatmeal as well. A lot of people also include it in low-carb baking, soups, and puddings, which is interesting. It really does keep you feeling full and helps with regularity. I think it also adds nice variety. I already use flax seeds, glucommanan powder, and other konjac root products just about every day, and having another tasty, fiber option is great!

I recently added psyllium husk to my daily routine, and the results have been incredible. As a natural fiber supplement, it has significantly improved my digestion and overall gut health. Within just a few days of consistent use, I noticed a more regular digestive system, less bloating, and a feeling of lightness throughout the day. One of the things I love most about psyllium husk is its versatility—I can mix it into my morning smoothie, stir it into water, or even add it to oatmeal. It thickens quickly, so I make sure to drink plenty of water with it. Unlike other fiber supplements that can be harsh on the stomach, psyllium husk works gently, providing steady relief without cramping or discomfort. Now that it’s part of my daily routine, I can’t imagine going without it. If you’re looking for a simple yet effective way to support digestion, regularity, and gut health, I highly recommend giving psyllium husk a try!

This is a great colon cleanse .....very natural and effective. .

I bought this brand because it is supposed to be contaminant free unlike many others. I can't attest to that...but that is why I chose it. I took away a star because even though it ranks well in tests for no fillers or additives; it is a bit pricey IMHO. It is easy enough to use. I put it in my daily smoothie and beyond a little bit of "grittiness" it's barely detectable. It certainly does not change the taste. Some other reviews say it tastes bad but mine doesn't have any taste when it's in a smoothie. I haven't tried it any other way and I haven't chewed any up by itself though. I started at a heaping teaspoon per day and am now up to a full tablespoon as there were no adverse reactions to deal with. There may have been none since my diet was already reasonably healthy and high in fiber but I can see some improvement in regularity. My thoughts are that unless there is a special situation, it would be better to add more fruit and vegetables to your diet because they would provide more nutrients and vitamins. I am glad I tried it and it does seem to help but at this price I probably will focus on getting fiber via fruit and veggies.

If you like to shop at Trader Joes you may have noticed a product called Secrets of the Psyllium, it sells for around 12 dollars and is the exact same as this Yerba Prima version the only difference is at the time of this review Yerba prima is 10 dollars and you get alot more product. Psyllium husk combined with bentonite is a perfect way to start your own inexpensive natural detox program. This stuff works extreamly well for me when I want to drop a few pounds the natural way, and if used regularly it will continuosly keep your colon squeeky clean. It basically scrubs and flushes out your colon and breaks up the waste and build up that gathers in the colon over time. If you have never cleaned your colon you might find yourself having alot of bowel movements after taking this at first, thats all the bad stuff being removed from your body. I must let anyone who is considering this product know, this stuff can be hard to choke down sometimes, I highly recommend starting out with just a little bit mixed with OJ or your favorite juice. hang in there it gets easier to swallow the more you take it, to me the benefits outweigh the inconvenience. After the great John Wayne passed away from lung and stomach cancer (and I honestly cant verify if the next part of the story is true or not) but its been alleged that doctors discovered around 8 pounds of fecal matter in his colon during his autopsy..... for some reason this example has always stuck with me and reminds me to keep my body free of potentially harmful toxins that may accumulate in the stomach over time.

I have been using this product for a couple of moths and I have seen and most importantly I feel the difference with a clean gut. I wasn't too sure about a all natural product simple reason not enough chemicals I thought, but sometimes simple is better. I have tried different products from and they all have the same issue for me they all give me stomach cramps . This product is perfect for me it's really easy for my stomach and it has side-effects. It's a little chunky but you can mix it with any Juice of your choice or just Plain water. Hope this helps.

As I have gotten older in life, I found myself taking a stool softener everyday, to keep things moving. Then it got to where I would have to take a laxative as well. Not happy with doing that, because it was getting to where neither helped too much so I decided to try this. What an amazing product! Now rather that going 2-3 times in seven days, I go daily! Sometimes twice. I take the one tablespoon and put it in apple juice, there is a texture, the texture is similar to juice that is loaded with pulp, myself, I am okay with that. There is no real taste to the psyllium. Totally happy with this and will use it on a daily (or at least every other day), best part no more stool softeners or laxatives! And if your stools are hard and hard to pass, this will make everything much more comfortable, I did not get diarrhea using this. Give it a try!
