Viva Naturals Organic Psyllium Husk Powder, 10 oz - Finely Ground, Unflavored Plant Based Superfood - Good Source of Fiber for Gluten-Free Baking, Juices & Smoothies - Certified Vegan, Keto and Paleo

I wanted to start taking a fiber powder and didn’t want to take something with a bunch of added ingredients and sugar. I have high cholesterol and some other health issues and decided it was time to take my gut health more serious. So…I took a a gamble on this stuff. I started out with one teaspoon in an 8 oz cup of water and then increased it to two teaspoons. (I mix the heck out of it with a fork and it mixes right up.) It took me about a week to start seeing results.It is not the best tasting stuff, but I like earthy tasting food so it’s tolerable for me. When I do the two teaspoons in 8 oz of water, the texture and taste remind me of watery cream of wheat. I take 2 teaspoons twice a day now, and it helps me to meet my fiber and (surprisingly) my iron goals in my calorie/nutrient tracker.

I’ve been using various psyllium husk products since about 2002. This is my favorite one by far. Every one of them advertises “not gritty” and they are all super gritty. The worst part for me is trying to clean the damned glass afterwards! The grains stick like cement to the sides of the glass and don’t come off. This brand is ground SUPER fine. Think “corn starch” consistency. Knowing how hard it can be to mix these powders, I like to use a drink shaker. Mixes it up into a smooth suspension that goes down easy with no grit!! And the container can be cleaned with a rinse and couple more shakes. Follow the instructions and drink lots of water for the next few hours- it not only prevents you from getting a solid clog in your intestines, but it actually helps it to work better. Can’t recommend this brand enough. It tastes exactly like the others (add juice or yogurt to mask the taste) but drinks way smoother!!

A much better product than Metamucil because it contains NO SUGAR! I've been taking psylium for decades for- that reason people take it for-- and all that sugar adds up. This stuff is just straight, unadulterated psylium without the sugar and its much cheaper (for the same size dose) and has ZERO calories. If you tale this stuff everyday, you'll be glad you switched to the real thing.

Good in my smoothies.

I am on my 2nd bag now & am very happy with the results of this product. The packaging from the 1st bag didn't quite hold up as far as the resealable zipper goes, it failed 1/4 way thru using the bag but I just put it in another container. As far as the actual product- it is very easy to use (I use it daily in a greens drink to increase fiber in my diet) dissolves easily, little to no smell or taste, also works extremely well as a thickening agent for Keto & Paleo cooking or baking. Highly recommend this product.

I love having this stuff in my cupboard and I'm pleased with this particular brand. Good value for the money and a high quality psyllium husk if you ask me.

I bought Viva Naturals Organic Psyllium Husk Powder because I'm out of unsweetened, unflavored Metamucil and need some psyllium husk powder for regularity. I am an average American, not a person concerned about organic this or nature that; this purchase was made for convenience and price point.This product is NOT like Metamucil. It's far more finely milled, so it's basically like a reasonably fine powder, whereas Metamucil is more a coarse powder. It's in an obnoxious zipper bag which will not rezip due to too much powder being caught in the zipper tracks, so you have to be sure to store it away from any sources of humidity, meaning the kitchen, near bathrooms, etc. It also does not travel through a funnel very easily, so it was hard to transfer it into a better container.The way I use it is to pre-measure a cup of water, add a little flavoring, and then put a heaping teaspoon of it in the cup. I stir it very briskly for a good while and then I drink it very quickly. It takes more stirring than Metamucil and it clumps A LOT more than Metamucil. I think I would need a blender to get the clumps out, but fortunately they're fairly small. If you drink this immediately after stirring, it doesn't have time to set. However, because it is a fine powder and it does clump, I end up with micro-clumps of it left over in my mouth in the cracks between my teeth. This stuff tastes like raw wheat without the slightly sweet flavor wheat can have, which makes it fairly unpalatable to American tastes. I would not try this stuff without flavoring until I'd gotten used to the texture. It is not a joy to consume this, but it is over pretty quickly and only leaves a mild aftertaste after you wash your mouth out post-drinking it. And it does work, which is the point of taking it in the first place. However, you want to brush your teeth before bedtime if you use this stuff or you will hate life in the morning.Basically, this product is not a delight and the packaging needs some rethinking, but if your goal is to be regular, it does the job. The benefits barely outweigh the concerns.

Wanna poo regularly? Want to make full powerful fluffy poos? Buy this.I eased into it taking half serving for about a week. Then I did a full serving for about two months. Now, I’m taking double servings. People get out of my way when they see me heading for the bathroom at work. Not out of fear, but out of respect for my perfect, full, smooth poos. Try it for yourself.And drink plenty of water or you could make a giant rock turd and blow out your boo-hole. Just be careful.
