Psyllium Husk 1400mg | Fibre Supplement | 120 Vegan Capsules | 2-Month Supply | High Strength Ispaghula Husk | Prebiotic Soluble Fibre for Gut Health, Digestion, Constipation & Bloating | Fitimins

I am a big fan of psyllium husk in my diet, and often take a spoonful in my porridge. It is sometimes very gritty textured though. This psyllium husk supplement is VERY finely ground, so is quite smooth and unnoticable which is a lot better in my opinion - I have even mixed a teaspoon of this in a glass of apple juice and it was quite drinkable. The only thing with this being so finely ground is that it absorbs liquid insanely fast, so be careful how much you use in one go. 9/10

This review is for the Psyllium Husk Prebiotic Fibre Supplement, 1400mg, 120 Psyllium Husk Powder Capsules, Ispaghula Husk, 100% Natural Soluble Fibre, Promotes Gut Health, Digestion & Regularity, 2 Months Supply | Fitimins.After a recent visit to the GP, I was instructed to add more fibre to my diet. My diet is varied normally, so for myself, adding a fibre supplement was the way to go. Unsure of how best to proceed, I came across this company and their Psyllium Husk capsules. I liked that they are a UK-based company, their product goes through appropriate and thorough testing, and similar reviews yielded positive responses. Intrigued and wanting to get started, I ordered these. They arrived the next day, well-packaged.The bottle was sealed, and once opened, there wasn't much of a smell emitting, which was appreciated. The capsules are a little large, but not obstructive and they are easy to swallow. I tend to jostle tablets around in my mouth a few times before swallowing, so I was relieved to discover the gelatine capsule wasn't quickly dissolved. They have no smell, no taste, and didn't create an obnoxious burping some medicine/vitamins tend to create.I've now taken the fibre capsules for just over two weeks, and am seeing improved results. It isn't clear from the bottle if you're to take one tablet at two different times a day, or two at the same time (this is what I opted for), so some clarification on the label would be appreciated. Overall, I am happy with this supplement, and will continue to use. Rating 4/5 due to slightly unclear instructions as mentioned above.

Product came sealed and true to description. The tablets are easy to swallow, also the shell capsule is vegetarian which is nice, as I've taken some others that aren't - useful for those that don't consume meat products.I use psyllium and other fibres sources like ground flax and chia regularly, and it's a staple for my daily diet. These do the job however I do find them on the pricey side, given that it's just psyllium husk, were there a mixture of ingredients I'd understand the price point.

I have used raw psyllium husk, both ground and completely powdered over the last 5 or 6 years, bought in 1Kg packages. In this form I mix it with cold water and weight 10 to 15 minutes for it to hydrate before consuming it. Dosage usually 1 to 2 teaspoons to 600+ ml water once daily. Result far more effective, very very much cheaper than these capsules.I guess these capsules get into at least your stomach before breaking down but the risk is still there that they may stick inside the oesophagus and drop their content there which I suspect would be extremely unpleasant, even dangerous. Water is essential when taking these. None of the other reviews state this. From the notes in the ad:"Most Effective Way To Take Psyllium: While it is safe to consume with food, psyllium husk fiber can also be taken on an empty stomach. When taking psyllium husk, it is essential to drink plenty of water as it absorbs water and can lead to gastrointestinal distress if taken without sufficient fluid intake."The packaging of these is not clear, is it states a daily 'serving' (not dosage note) at1400mg i.e. two tablets so one table is 700mg. The front label also implies 120 capsules next to the figure of 1400mg alongside. That is deceptive, and not an uncommon practice among these food supplement peddlars.Psyllium husk as I have bought it previously (loose in bag) has increased quite a lot over that period, is currently running at c.£25 per Kg. Each one of these capsules (being generous here) contains 0.7grams of husk, at the current price for the bottle it would cost you more than £203 to get the same quantity. If convenience is more important to you fair enough, but I know where my hard earned would never go!The marketing bumph also makes claims for health benefits without any substantiation, another common practice. Some of them may have tangential relationships with the truth but this, at the recommended dosage and as has been already said is not going to be delivered effectively by this product.Money making venture, little more, but your choice!

As a supplement, these capsules will help with an already OK diet. If you're using these as your sole source of fibre, you have other things you need to change.These capsules are small, easy to swallow, tasteless and scentless. The dose is two per day giving you about two months of a supply.I have been taking Psyllium Husk supplements for several months without issue to aid with a feeling of fullness after smaller meals.
