“I've completely changed my opinion of this product. I've noticed that whenever I've used it, I've had much more pleasant movements the next day. Yes it is unpleasant to drink a thick liquid, but the results speak for themselves. I've left my original review below.I use a lot psyllium husk fibre, but none have been quite like this. As soon as I tipped a spoonful into a jug of water I realised I had made a mistake. Thing is, I'd already emptied the jar of powder into my already open bag from another manufacturer. As you can see from the video, this turned instantly to wallpaper paste, and I'm somehow meant to drink this?? Even topping the jug up with water just left more of it to contend with. I frantically scooped out the powder I'd added to the bag and made the second mistake of the evening by trying to flush it down the sink, the evidence of which you can see in the picture. It took two sponges, a dish cloth and a wooden spoon to get the sink clean. The worst part of all this is that because I am unable to completely separate the two powders, my psyllium now has the texture of wallpaper paste whenever I drink it. Yay”
“Not sure why this requires a small mortgage to use regularly - work it out per kilogram and you'll see what I mean. It's astonishingly high in cost. I suppose it being organic can be part of that - I don't always see psyllium husk advertised as organic. Personally I don't care about that, but some may.Psyllium husk more or less is a commodity - it's ground up husks of psyllium. The product either has it or it doesn't - so it really comes down to the value proposition.This is 275 of powder put in a bottle for some reason (why not a small pouch?) I suspect to make it look more premium than it is. I see and feel zero difference between this stuff and the stuff I typically have in 1kg bags in my cupboard for 75% less in cost.There's nothing to see here, give this a miss, unless you insist on organic.”
“If you’re looking for psyllium husks, this one from Kiki health ticks all the boxes.1. It seems to come from a reputable premium brand which is stocked by a variety of retailers.2. It is Soil Association certified organic.3. It’s a big jar. You only need to take a teaspoon each day so it should last a long time. It says 55 days on the jar.4. The jar is attractive and properly sealed.IMPORTANT: BE CAREFUL HOW YOU MIX IT see update below.I'm taking this supplement mainly because I want my digestive system to be optimal because I believe that this is fundamental to good health. I will update this review if I notice any unexpected effects. I don't comment on price because prices change all the time.UPDATE: It is really important to add the powder to the drink and not vice versa otherwise you get a lumpy mess. I added the powder slowly to the drink whilst whisking continuously with a fork to ensure that the powder was fully mixed and lump-free. I used it in the ratio of about a third of a teaspoon to a medium glass of lime cordial so as not to have to drink anything too gloopy. The lime works really well to make it more palatable. The powder has minimal flavour.My original review: The instructions say that you should take this in a drink (followed by plenty more to drink throughout the day). Having just experimented with the powder I can see why. The pale grey powder absorbs water very readily. It would be impossible to eat it on its own. I made the mistake of adding water to the powder in a glass and stirring. It went very stiff and difficult to manage and mix properly. I produced an unappetising lumpy mess. Next time I need to add the powder slowly to the drink. It thickens up to a consistency rather like wallpaper paste and has almost no taste or smell. It is very dull which is not enjoyable, but it was much nicer with a shot of lime juice. You can get this in capsule form, but I think it might be wiser to take it mixed with water to make sure you mix it properly.”
“This is a fine powder that is easy to add to your diet.It effectively increases your fibre intake and helps keep things moving.It’s great at helping bulk things out and it also makes me feel fuller after taking this.”
