Directions +

ADULTS AND CHILDREN OVER 12: 1 rounded teaspoon, 1 to 3 times a day. CHILDREN 6-12: 1/2 to 1 level teaspoon, 1 to 3 times a day.

Start by taking 1 serving each day. Gradually increase to 3 servings per day if needed. Stir powder briskly into at least 8 ounces (a full glass) of liquid. Drink immediately. Juice, water, soy or rice drink, and milk are all good with Psyllium Husks Powder. For easiest mixing, shake in a closed jar. If product is too thick when consuming, add more liquid and stir. Drinking additional liquid is helpful. If minor gas or bloating occurs, reduce the amount you take until your system adjusts. For best results, use daily as long as desired.

As with all bulking fiber supplements, do not take within 1 to 2 hours of prescription medications. If you are taking medication or are under a doctors care, consult a health professional before use.

You have a number of options here at LTYG Shoppe for alleviating chronic diarrhea or constipation, depending on what your body tolerates and what you're trying to accomplish:

People find psyllium seed or the MetaCleanse (contains psyllium along with flaxseed and bentonite) useful for relieving diarrhea as it bulks up the stool by absorbing the excess liquid, thus reducing the frequency and urgency of bowel movements – this is especially helpful for Short Bowel Syndrome. Others prefer L-Glutamine - which taken on an empty stomach causes the bowel to absorb excess water and at the same time is a primary nutrient for the intestinal lining.

Psyllium and MetaCleanse are helpful for constipation because they attract water to your stools, thus keeping them soft and easier to pass (you also have to make sure you're drinking enough water!).

If you want to simultaneously detox, then combine your psyllium with bentonite clay in equal parts and drink lots of water. But do not use bentonite long-term (about two weeks at time is usually sufficient) as it adsorbs and carries out all microbes (i.e. both good and bad bacteria). Or, again, you could just use MetaCleanse, since it also contains bentonite (although in much smaller amounts, so it's safe for ongoing use).

Be very careful if you suspect an intestinal stricture; proceed very slowly, starting at a small dose (1/4 tsp) and gradually building up to your tolerance level.

Psyllium Husks Powder is the strongest natural dietary fiber for promoting regularity and supporting heart health. It is most effective when used everyday, and can be used as long as desired.

There are many reasons why psyllium husks are a part of daily health maintenance for millions of people. Extensive research has shown that psyllium husks help maintain normal cholesterol levels, including a proper balance of HDL and LDL cholesterol.

In addition, psyllium husks help promote normal regularity. Unlike stimulant laxatives, psyllium husks are gentle and are not habit forming. Psyllium husks bulking action makes elimination easier and more comfortable. At the same time, psyllium sweeps waste and toxins more quickly out of the body, so toxins are not reabsorbed from the colon back into the bloodstream. Psyllium husks can be taken either with or between meals, and when used in recommended amounts should not interfere with absorption of vitamins and other nutrients. Gluten-Free: psyllium husks do not contain any gluten so people who are gluten sensitive can use them.

FOR REGULARITY

Psyllium husks promote easy, healthy elimination and sweep waste out of the colon more quickly. Psyllium husks provide gentle fiber to soothe and normalize the bowel when there is discomfort. To maintain regularity and speed waste removal, take 1 to 3 servings a day, either with or between meals.

FOR HEART HEALTH

To help maintain normal cholesterol levels and support heart health, take 2 servings a day, with meals.

FOR LOW CARB DIETS

Doctors recommend psyllium husks for people eating low carb diets, to help them get the extra fiber generally not provided in low carb diets.

FOR WEIGHT MAINTENANCE

Dietary fiber plays an important role in weight maintenance. High fiber foods like psyllium husks help promote satiety, or a feeling of fullness. To help support weight maintenance, take 1 to 3 servings a day, shortly before or with meals.
