Viva Naturals Organic Psyllium Husk Powder, 24 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 used to use Konsyl brand, and went for this one as it's less expensive: it's wonderful! It is more finely powdered than Konsyl, so it's easier to dissolve and, more importantly, drink. It's also organic.

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.

Product seems like high quality. I add it to my protein shakes and cannot tastes the powder.

This stuff works. It's a bit gritty, but once you get past the texture, it's tolerable and the result is regularity. Made a believer out of me.

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 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.

I find it’s great to add this product to my yogurt each day. Makes a nice topper along with my walnuts. No smell and it dissolves easily in my mouth with the yogurt. Love it.
