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

This is an excellent quality fiber product. After getting this, I realized that all plain "organic psyllium husk powders" are not the same. This brand, Jiva Organics, bulked up much more quickly when mixed with water. And the results the next day, were better too, if you get my drift.

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

Good value for price. Take extra water with it, or use less than you typically do. It doesn't stir into water easily, and becomes very thick quickly. It tastes like slightly sweetened cardboard. It cakes up in my gums and mouth. Otherwise, it's great, and does a good job; provides comfortable poos.

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.

The product arrived quickly, packaging is good, nothing leaking, powder seems to be very clean, no visible inclusions, no insects inside. I discovered that if I warm up the water in the microwave for 90 seconds, the powder dissolves much better, still clumps up but that's no problem, easy to drink. The taste is neutral, in fact almost pleasant. I tried before some nasty tasting psyllium powders and I know the difference. This one is fine. And it works. After just a few days I already lost half a pound without any effort. Will add some exercise and light calorie restriction to speed up wait loss. Will buy again.

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

... 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 ...

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…
