For me I have found the best way to consume psyllium powder is to mix an equal portion of metamucil with pure psyllium husk powder. Both can be bought separately on Amazon. I combine both into a large plastic container and thoroughly shake the two together. In doing this it retains the sweetness and orange flavor of the metamucil, but it makes a higher percentage of psyllium powder in the final result. I take a heaping teaspoon twice a day with meals. My total cholesterol levels have dropped from 200 to 155 and I've had an equal percentage drop in my LDL. Additionally your gut microbiome will benefit greatly from the psyllium because it helps in the growth of good bacteria as a prebiotic.

[adamfroman]

You didn’t mention which ones were bad and which were good…Was the organic kind the best?

[Empresofdarknes]

The Now brand in Husk form has been a regular part of my diet for over a year now. I'm 6 weeks pregnant today and is considering changing from Psyllium because of this warning. Do you have any suggestions, I suffer from chronic constipation and need a reliable source of fiber.

You said to only use organic psyllium but you’re showing the non-organic version of Yerba and others.

Anything grown in India is bound to be completely contaminated with lead, arsenic etc...because of appalling levels of pollution there..

[rOHRshackartpottery]

How do these products compare to Miralax which I use for IBS.

Where does the lead come from that is in the product?

[priestlygarments]

Which brand of Psyllium Husk had the least lead? Most of them have the prop 65 label and contain lead. Is there one that you know has the least?

[suziepeck]

Why didn't you mention it is good for Ibs-diarreah?

[adamfroman]

That story about the nurses getting an allergy to psyllium is interesting …Does that mean long term usage daily could create allergies to it?
