NOW Foods Supplements, Psyllium Husk Powder, Non-GMO Project Verified, Soluble Fiber, 12-Ounce

I mainly use psyllium husk to add volume to my meals / baked goods and increase satiation without too many extra calories. I'm not on a weight loss journey, but I like more volume with my meals. NOW Foods is one of the best quality options for psyllium husks (although I slightly prefer the Bob's Red Mill product).I already consume a lot of fiber in my diet, so I personally did not see a major difference in my digestion and bowel movement. But I do feel it helps a little with regularity and consistency.Usages-> Oatmeal / Porridge. If you like volume meals, psyllium husk is a great way to make a huge oatmeal or porridge bowl that will keep you satisfied for longer. I do personally think that regular husks work better than the powder, since it doesn't change as much the consistency. I usually add it after cooking (or when I meal prep overnight oats), with additional liquid; I don't like when I cook oats and psyllium together.-> Pancakes / Waffles / Omelettes. Added in the batter, psyllium husk adds volume, but also changes consistency. It will be more `sponge` like consistency, maybe not appealing for everyone. For pancakes and waffles I have used successfully both recipes that required specifically psyllium husks, and `regular` recipes in which I replaced flour with psyllium husk.-> Smoothies / Liquids / Gels. Psyllium husks mix very well in most liquids. You can make a simple tasteless gel just by mixing it with water and let it sit 3-5 minutes; or you can mix in with a little bit sweetener (Stevia, monk fruit, etc.), mix it with fruit juice, add it in smoothies and drink to make then thicker. It doesn't work with nut beverages (cashew or almond milk).-> Baking. The way I can tell the NOW Foods psyllium husk is really good quality is the way it behaves in baked good; it doesn't change color (other products add a purple hue) nor changes the taste (other products add a metallic taste). It works well combined both with regular wheat flour and gluten free flours (coconut, almond, tapioca, cassava, buckwheat), for large loaves of breads and small items like cupcakes and muffins. Psyllium husk definitely changes the consistency, it's more moist and spongy. The results are better if you use a good recipe with tested ratios between flours, psyllium husk and liquid, especially for bread and if you like a nice crust. But for cupcakes and muffins I just add a tsp or tbsp of psyllium husk powder and adjust liquid until I get the desired consistency.Container: I recommend keeping the aluminium seal after opening the product, it helps reduce the static which might cause the fine powder to fly around.

This stuff tastes reeeeelly awful...BUT...it works very welll to regulate the digestive system, so 5 stars here. I flunked the cholesterol test at my recent checkup and read that psyllium husk powder along with lifestyle changes can get cholesterol levels down. So, to avoid going on medication, I am trying this. Maybe it would taste better in apple juice than it does in plain water? Anyway, good product and good price.

Excellent fiber, really works great; I mix just one heaped spoon with 4% lactaid milk -no bad taste ; easy to swallow . Only issue is that you hav eto go >twice in the AM which could be a problem for those who have to leave home early.I will keep using it.

I mix this in warm chocolate milk. You can feel the particles as you drink it because it doesn’t dissolve, but it does not bother me. You have to down it within seconds of drinking it though, otherwise it develops a gel like consistency. Works as expected.

NOW Foods consistently delivers great products for amazing prices. This product is no exception.I decided I wanted to increase the soluble fiber in my diet, mainly because I consistently eat lower carb. At first I thought I wouldn't notice a very big difference in my umm..."digestion" (i.e. how easy it is to go to the bathroom), but I can say very clearly that a tablespoon each morning of this powder works magic in terms of leading to regularity.It doesn't taste great, but it's manageable. The best way to take it is to put the dry powder in a cup first. Then add cold water while stirring. Then, consume it very quickly. You won't get all of it. So add more cold water, stir like crazy, and take quickly. If you add warm water, let it sit, or don't stir, it will swell up. It's quite a sight to see (you can see why it leads to regularity), but tastes awful at that point, and could become a choking hazard,This particular psyllium isn't as high in fiber as some others (this has 7 grams per tablespoon, compared to some brands that have closer to 9-10) but it really is effective at producing regularity.I bought the twelve ounce container originally, but it goes pretty fast, so the bigger package is preferable.Overall, this is a great psyllium product, the lowest priced, and I highly recommend it.

I've used this product for almost 1 year. Usually product dissolves well which is why I liked it. Last ordered in June 2025 & this time it was if it repelled water. It left many clumps regardless of how vigorously it was mixed. Unpleasant. I can tolerate grainy (it IS fiber) but not clumpy or chunky. Other than this everything appeared the same as usual. I even double checked that I had the right product because it behaved so poorly. Anyone else notice this? Note: no change in effectiveness, appearance, taste, etc. (lot # 3402382)

Great product, no smell

It works very well but I wish that it came orange flavored .It works much better than the capsules.
