NOW Supplements, Psyllium Husk Caps 700 mg with 50 mg of Apple Pectin, Intestinal Health*, 180 Veg Capsules

Keto-Friendly; 700mg Serving Size; GMO-Free

Unique among fiber sources, once Psyllium meets the fluids of our digestive tract, it swells to 50 times its original size, then moves like a street sweeper or snow plough to push everything through. For those on a keto diet (like me), it's easy to avoid fiber, as many sources carry a high carb count. But fiber intake is also a precursor to a disease-free life, so neglecting it isn't an option. Within the fiber family, Psyllium Husk features the lowest carb count. The NOW brand offers an attractively high dosage (700 MG), it's keto-friendly, and at a cost of $0.05/count, it's remarkably affordable. Delivery mechanism is a vegan-friendly cellulose capsule, maximizing bioavailability. A low glycemic, high impact product and a great value at this low price. - (Was this of use?

Basically More Fairly Priced Pure for Men

This has worked for me. As a 24yo gay man, there is a lot of pressure put on bottoms to be “ready” at the drop of a hat. This was really stressing me out because I knew that wasn't me. The Pure for Men supplement worked well for me, but is unfairly expensive. I searched for products with similar ingredients and found this affordable alternative! I started to take two 700mg capsules each morning and night and have had great poops. If I'm not eating well, I'll be even more consistent with the capsules and take them 3x/day. Of course, sometimes, something I eat disagrees with me, but overall this has helped my regularity and cleanliness so much. It's lifted a big weight off my shoulders

Feeding “the good bacteria”

Psyllium husk is a resistant starch also known as a Prebiotic. Essentially it is the food that feeds the good bacteria (but not the bad bacteria) in your gut. I've suffered for years with slow bowels, and I'm just on my first bottle of this product ( using it in combination with a probiotic). While I've still got some gut healing to do, I do feel like this regimen is helping

Nutritional information – only 1g of fiber per serving!

This product is fine, but non nutritional info was available by default so I wanted to share this. In 1.4 g serving (2x700mg pills) you get 1 g of fiber

Good appetite suppressant

I haven't found anything that totally suppresses my appetite, but this seems to work better than things like hoodia, at least for me. Just keep in mind that it will take 30 minutes or so for the capsule to dissolve in your stomach and for your stomach to tell your brain that it's full

Helps regularity

I have been taking this for a week now along side probiotics and here are the pros: I go to the bathroom at least once, if not twice a day now. I don't get as hungry as I usually do. Cons: It is a large pill so it's hard to swallow. I have to drink a least a glass of water with it. I feel like I get dry mouth more quickly, but I keep a water bottle on me so not a terrible con. I would recommen

Great company, quality product! Does the trick!

I started using this product, when I started experiencing some irregularity. I can attribute that to stress, time change, sleep, etc. It is hard for me to use anything in powder form due to work and convenience. I started incorporating this supplement in my morning regimen and can tell a difference. I do not experience any side effects other then a dry mouth if I don't drink enough water. Just make sure you drink a good amount of water with this supplement, it will put you right back on track

I've reached the age where I need them and Psyllium Husk sounds better than Metamucil

Seems to work as advertised, but that means sticking to 2 capsules 2-3 times a day with plenty of water. So if you aren't willing to commit to that, then I don't know what to tell you. But in 3 days I've gone from severe constipation-induced sciatica pain shooting down my leg to no pain and I've lost about 4 pounds. Take that as you will

Improvement For Your “Movement”

I have used Psyllium Husk caps for at least a year. I feel I need a boost of fiber to help my regularity, and these seem to fit the bill. The product states that psyllium has the ability to swell up to 50 times it's initial volume when added to liquid. Suggested serving is two capsules with an 8 oz. glass of liquid two to three times daily. I have used this twice daily with sufficient results. I have read every body is different and although some prefer a daily movement, it isn't necessary for everyone. This doesn't cause me to go daily (never have), but it does appear to help the...ahem...quality of my movement, e.g. giving it the...uhh...bulk/shape/texture that is advised to be most healthy. It is important to take this with the recommended amount of liquid to prevent choking. There have been a couple of times I've taken this and felt a capsule was "stuck" in my chest. I believe this was due to either not taking in enough liquid or taking this in the evening soon before laying down for bed. Keep that in mind. I used to take Fiber Choice Sugar Free Assorted Fruit 220 tblts , but wanted something more natural without added sweeteners and ingredients. The ingredients are Psyllium Husk Powder (seed), Apple Pectin Powder, Gelatin (capsule), Magnesium Stearate (vegetable source), Stearic Acid (vegetable source) and Silica. I trust the Now brand, and think these work much better. I purchase this on Subscribe and Save because I plan to continue using it for a long time. Purchase a smaller bottle on Amazon to see if it gives you the desired effect

Stick in Throat (bad batch?)…

There is something odd about the capsule for these. Even swallowing only one at a time these scratch my throat or try to get stuck. I can swallow 3 of the 500mg capsules (same brand) at a time with no problem. I have much larger fish oil and multis I take as well with no problem. Not sure what it is with these, or if maybe I got a bad batch but I had to throw my bottle away. Back to the 500mg size which work well. I was hoping to lessen the number of pills taken daily, but not worth the danger of choking or the discomfort of a scratched throat. Update: I accidentally ordered a second bottle (still had the 500mg and 700mg in my list). On the second bottle, the capsules are noticeably thinner and smoother. They are MUCH easier to swallow. Upgrading to 3 stars for now. Will probably refill with these again and may increase stars again. They work just like the powder or 500mg, so my only problem was the capsule on the first batch I received
