Psyllium Husk 1000g

Great product. Been using it for some time now to improve regularity after a hernia op. Better than the powder as it doesn't 'clump' together, just a heaped teaspoon in 150ml of water or preferably juice. I don't let it gel first, I just leave it for about 5min then drink it down, although some say it works just as well if you let it gel, it's just a bit slimy if you do-your choice!

I've been buying psyllium husks (aka ispaghula aka isabgol aka plantago ovata) fibre for 15+ years from various manufacturers/sources and the reliability of supply and quality and price of this Nature's Diet product I've been able to order with regularity in the last year or two is brilliant, and its one of the best out there. Packaging is solid if almost a bit too thick for ecological footprint (if only it was in a wax lined paper based bag I'd be even happier!) but means lower risk of tearing in transit, I guess. I decant some into a tub to scoop and serve, the rest you can just roll up the top and keep relatively air tight but unlike some more powdered products, it doesn't draw in moisture from the air so it's fine to just put a clip on the top or rubber band round the bag to store it. Unlike the finely powdered versions, which clump all too easily when I try to blend it, the less processed flakes are excellent for adding to protein shakes and smoothies as a thickener and to help offset the high protein content without adding carbohydrate calories. A tablespoon once or twice a day regulates intestinal transit well. Leave a blended fruit and protein smoothie with psyllium to one side longer before consuming it, and it will form a good thick jelly or pudding too, which you can then eat with a spoon! You can't really go wrong.

Similar to another brand but the best value at the time of purchase. I've bought another Nature Diet product and that was good too, despite the daft name. Psyllium husk is pretty expensive, given what it is, but if you want to top the Bristol Stool Chart it's a winner - at your 'convenience'. Taste is neutral and I now add 10g to a bowl of vegetable slaw just before eating; you would barely know it was there and I think the effect is enhanced, against chugging it on its own with water. Disastrous when added to hot soup: congealed lumps of gunge.

I've used a few brands over the years and this one is probably the best one yet. First it's a lot of husk for the money, so even used once or twice a day it should last you a good while. That said, I've found just using in the morning mixed with my cereal is enough for it to do it's job. It's a nice size grain not to powdery so it becomes gloopy or coarse so it's crunchy to the pallet. Taste is pretty well neutral, with no after taste. I can Def recommend this product and will buy again once I've used it all in about another 6 months LOL.

Good price and good for the stomach, fast delivery

If you're suffering from constipation, as I was after taking codeine, this is a game changer. Heaped teaspoon morning and afternoon and that's it sorted.

I genuinely thought I had a paralysed digestive system and felt so horrible all the time from it, even daily tasks were uncomfortable. Walking hurt, running hurt, I'd start the day a size 6 and end a size 10. My diet was already mainly veg, fruits, meats and unprocessed foods so I genuinely didn't get why it was the way it was and finally thought I'd give this a go too as a last resort because I was sick of having to rely on laxatives to feel normal! Three months down the line and I am happier than ever, everything is regular, no more weird bloating, and even just the feeling that things are back to normal have made my mental health so much better. I feel free, I can go on a run whenever I want to, I can go to the gym whenever, I no longer end the day with my trousers unbuttoned. My body is finally where I wanted it to be.

This product is excellent for your health, I bought it to reduce cholesterol for me and my husband, he has it every day but he said it is quite gritty and you can taste it. The colour is brown and I usually get in which isn't gritty and is white in colour. The cheaper ones are usually brown.You can see the difference in my original brand which looks much clearer and cleaner compared to the NATURE DIET one.
