“I have been putting Psyllium Husk on my cereal in the mornings as a great supplement for roughage, however it does change the texture of my cereal. With these Psyllium capsules I can get a daily dose of Psyllium without spoiling my cereal. The capsules are quite large but I don't have a problem swallowing them. You need to drink a lot of water with these capsules but drinking plenty of water is a good idea anyway. The recommended dose is one or two capsules a day but I find that one is plenty for me and with 120 capsules in the bottle, this pack should last me a couple of months.”
“The first thing I feel that I should mention with this product is the sheer quality of the packaging; these supplements come packed in a glass bottle with a metal lid and seal. The weightiness and smoothness of the glass lets you know in advance that the manufacturers of this product have aimed for a high quality product. The seal is well affixed and any tampering would therefore be immediately evident, ensuring that the product is safe to consume. Having been a fan of taking fibre supplements to keep me regular, I know very well the properties of psyllium husks. These work brilliantly and keep everything moving along as it should. Personally, I have always found the recommendation of taking two capsules of psyllium husks to be rather high, and so I take only one capsule and that works well for me. Always remember to only take as much as the recommended dose (anything higher will resort in many trips to the bathroom in quick succession!) and always take these supplements with a full glass of water (I recommend at least 400ml). Overall: Great product at a great price point. Highly recommended.

“This Psillium Husk food supplement is made from the ground up seeds of the Plantago Ovata Plant, presented in a hypromellose capsule.It is not regarded as a medicine, although some constipation medicines do contain this same supplement.The seeds are a good source of soluble fibre, and when taken into the gut, they form a gelling reaction, which bulks up and softens the stool, and thus helps peristalsis.The dose recommended here is 1 - 2 capsules per day, taken with plenty of water.The dose in each of these capsules (850mg) appears to be on the lower side.Other capsules on the market contain more than 2g per capsule, and still allow you to take 2 capsules per day.When bought in powder form, you can take up to 15g per day (adding it to food & smoothies).When recommended by a doctor for certain medical conditions, then the dose is double that (30g or more / day).One wonders why the recommended dose here is so low... If 15g is considered safe, then why are the makers saying the maximum dose here is 850mgs x2 = 1.7g / day.The final thing is the price... That is (currently) £22 for 120 capsules, which puts it firmly at the very expensive end of the market. Why is that? It is not clear.My advice would be to buy 500g or 1kg of Psillium powder, and add it to various foods throughout the day.I don't doubt this is a good supplement which contains what it says on the bottle.I just think it is massively better value for money to buy the powdered supplements in bulk.If you like the convenience of capsules, and are OK with the price, then go for these.

“Good quality product. Well packaged. 100% raw ingredient with no additives. Easy to swallow, tastes OK, and helps with digestion. Excellent value for money.”
“I find these convenient and easy to take.I prefer to take in tablet form as I’m not overly keen on the texture of the powder and these work just as well.They help things move along and have the added bonus of making me less hungry too.”
