Organic Daily Psyllium Fiber

This is definitely needed in your keto baking Supplies. Acts as a binder in bread and other baked goods. It has a lot of fiber..great Healthy choice .

Konsyl fiber is very effective and good quality fiber. I've been using the original formula for many years, recently it has been clumping and not mixing well. Tried to the organic formula and it mixes so much better. Will be my long term fiber going forward.

Ah, the world of psyllium fiber....the good, the bad, and the entirely useless. This Konsyl 100% pure psyllium powder does exactly what it is supposed to do, without fail. It tastes horrid but we all know that. If you don't drink it within seconds, it solidifies...as expected. For those of us who must use it, this is the best since it does exactly what it is supposed to do very efficiently. The product is pure and of high quality. This price point is not out of line, although high. If you've been told you need it, then get it. It works!

I wanted to write a review of this product and in so doing, clarify several details of psyllium powder that seem to be widely misunderstood.First, I like this psyllium powder as it is the finest grind of any I have tried. I have taken psyllium powder daily for over three decades. So I haven't tried them all, but I have tried a number of them. I do not bake with them, so I cannot provide any information on that. But I do put the powder into smoothies, so I feel well equipped to provide some information on that. I think this psyllium powder is more expensive than any of the others, and I have dinged it one star for that. Otherwise, I think it's a five-star product.In thinking about psyllium, remember it is a crop that is grown, harvested, and processed. So there will be periodic variations in color, flavor, aroma, and so forth. The grind is the one thing that should be controllable by human technology. In fact, the main difference in psyllium powder for smoothie use that I have found is in the fineness of the grind and the flavor. Psyllium does have its own flavor--it's not terrible at all, but certainly not my favorite flavor and not one that I would want to predominate in smoothies. I prefer a fine grind so that my smoothie is not gritty. Gritty is why I much prefer powder to whole husks.In terms of solubility in water, I don't think any brand is soluble in just plain liquid. I don't think floating to the top and not mixing is specific to any brand. It's the nature of psyllium husks. Even ground finely, this is not a fine powder (like sugar) that *dissolves* in liquid. This stuff, regardless of brand does not actually dissolve. It is small pieces of the seed husk and will always float. It will--at best--be suspended in liquid, which is referred to as an *emulsion.* I would recommend abandoning any notion that stirring it up in a glass of water is feasible. Put it in a smoothie and let a blender do the work.As far as I know, all commercially-grown psyllium is grown in India. Every container of it should say, "Product of India." If it does not, I would be most suspicious. This is not new, it is not a scam, it is not a ripoff. It is simply grown in India. All of it.There is the matter of lead warnings and here's the deal about that. All of the psyllium from India has lead in it. Lots of foods do. It occurs naturally in the soils and the plant absorbs it. A lot of the Indian herbal remedies have lead or other heavy metals in them for the same reason, so tread carefully there.Those of you who freak out about lead in psyllium should know that the rice plant tends to absorb arsenic. So most of the rice sold in stores has an arsenic component--again, it depends on what is in the soil where it is grown.These examples are not because some nefarious person added heavy metals into the product. The lead and arsenic come from the soils. Those who may be interested might look at the United Nations well-digging project in Bangladesh to provide drinking water for the population. Turns out the well water had naturally occurring arsenic--in this case a lot of it--and it killed and sickened many people. An American water supply volunteer organization helped the Bangladeshis treat their water to remove the arsenic. But I digress.The warning about lead usually comes from the California Prop 65 requirements that require sellers to indicate when a product contains hazardous chemical or minerals, even if the level is very low and beneath the safe level. I think any brand with integrity should be able to produce a Certificate of Analysis that will show exactly how much lead is in the product. If they refuse, I would be suspicious. But was the certificate they send related to the batch you consumed? Maybe, maybe not. And the lead levels may vary from batch to batch. No scam here either, it's just the way it is.I do think it is worth purchasing organically-grown psyllium as at least then you don't have to worry about pesticides and so forth.For reference, the other psyllium powder I like is from Terrasoul, as it is cheaper and almost as fine a grind as the Konsyl. But Terrasoul has had trouble keeping it in stock. As I write this, they are again out of stock. Another brand I like is Kos, but alas, they are also out of stock.I hope this clears up some of the issues surrounding this product. Have a nice day.

I add this to smoothies, or cold water with a twist of lemon. It helps with regularity and reportedly helps with lowering cholesterol and slowing down sugar absorption. Drink plenty of water after it.

As advertised, this is an organic psyllium husk powder.

I do not like this product at all. It tastes horrible and feels horrible in your mouth when drinking it. Too bad it’s unreturnable. I shouldn’t have bought this.

This is a great way to get extra fiber in your diet. I previously tried Metamucil, but I don't like the tons of extra sugar or the sugar substitute. This is just Psyllium fiber, nothing else, and it is cheaper. It has no flavor. I put it in my morning smoothies and it blends nicely. I've repurchase this powder several times and will continue to do so.
