Organic Psyllium Powder

This doesn’t taste particularly good and it doesn’t dissolve that well either. That doesn’t mean there is anything wrong with the product; that is the nature of psyllium husk powder. I started using It at the recommendation of my GI doctor. My first experiment was using name brand Konsyl I bought at my local big box store. It worked; in fact the results were amazing (regular poops at last). I decided I’d be using the product on a permanent basis so I searched Amazon and found the Jiva Organics. It looks, tastes, and works the same as the name brand stuff. I am reusing the Konsyl container for daily use because the paper bag wouldn’t be as convenient or as durable as a plastic canister. This is a good product and it is recommended. Note there’s no dosage or other information on the label

... but having used psyllium on the advice of my Doctor for over twenty years, I have to say I am extremely impressed with the quality of the bag I received from Jiva Organics some months ago. This product is cheaper in bulk than the Konsyl and CVS brand I am accustomed to but it is also significantly less repugnant. Any version of psyllium will work, but the issue is forcing yourself to take it day after day, so the taste makes a big difference to me. The taste of the other brands I mentioned are reminiscent of the dust from a horse trail, which is not a pleasant association. This product is relatively tasteless. This version also dissolves in water immediately when agitated without forming clumps, which I find much easier to swallow quickly before it gels. It appears to be extremely well dried. I keep mine in an airtight container; once psyllium gets damp it's going to be difficult to dole out. And as any user of psyllium should already know, you have to drink extra liquids after taking it, otherwise you are likely to wake up in the middle of the night with a cramp. After twenty years you'd think I would have learned that lesson, but I still sometimes forget ...

Seems to work well. Have used different brands and this one seems to be as good or better than anything else I have tried. Not much taste, other than typical for Psyllium Husk. Dissolves well with vigorous mixing. Consistent texture/grind. Good product

Doesn’t dissolve at all in cold things. Earthy taste, very clumpy and makes things very thick. But it does it’s job in the poop department. Wish I didn’t miss the return window to return though as I prefer a grainier psyllium husk that dissolves better. Since I refused to throw this out or just let it waste space, this may be growing on me as I have realized that I’d just rather mix it in a shaker or blender bottle, with water or juice and chug it. Right away. Before it gets thick. I’m taking it as a good, organic fiber supplement...it’s not supposed to be fun or delicious.

I suffer from occasional constipation. I am not someone who likes to take medication unless it is absolutely necessary so I was happy to find this powder. I fill a small cup, that I have a tight lid for, part way with water then add about 2 tsp of this powder to the cup. I put the lid on and shake vigorously. It all dissolves in to the water well with shaking it. When I tried to stir it in it didn’t work very well. I then take the lid off and down it as quick as I can. When the product first arrived it had a curry smell/taste to it. I am not fond of curry, that smell/taste has dissipated over time which is good, but this stuff still doesn’t taste very good. When my kids need it I do the same process only with some apple juice instead of water which masks the taste well enough that they can handle it.

I started using Chia Seeds due to a nerve issue after shingles. This was the best deal I could find at 2.2 pounds and since both my wife and I use it, the product will last longer and although I like to buy locally we are on a fixed income is this is the best price I could find on Amazon and locally. Will update after using for a while if there is any difference in the product compared to others (if update is possible)

I found this to be harsh on my system. Instead of the table spoon I think I will be taking a teaspoon

This is an excellent replacement for the sugary, fake-orange junk you find at the grocery store. It is ground very finely, and dissolves well (with good, quick stirring) in warm water. It is virtually flavorless, and is smooth and not gritty. In what I read previously, a major problem with psyllium husk is that it comes from India, which uses herbicides and pesticides that are banned in the U.S. So this being organic solves the contamination issue. Works great, too. Great product. 5 STARS

perhaps i am too used to whole psyllium husks, this psyllium powder does nothing to my bowels which seem sluggish at best… going back to husks now…
