Psyllium Husks provide the highest cleansing activity of all fibers. Psyllium Husks help to promote regularity, lower cholesterol and are 4-8 times stronger than oat bran. A daily fiber intake of at least 25 grams is recommended for good health, but on average people consume only 10 to 15 grams.
Psyllium Whole Husks are an economically priced fiber, with good bulking action. Psyllium Whole Husks are preferred by some users because they gel-up more slowly than Psyllium Husks Powder.
Ingredients: Psyllium seed husks.
Suggested Usage:
ADULTS AND CHILDREN OVER 12: 1 heaping teaspoon, one to three times a day.
CHILDREN 6-12: 1 level teaspoon, one to three times a day. See Directions.
Directions: Start by taking 1 serving each day. Gradually increase to 3 servings per day as needed. Stir powder briskly into at least 8 ounces (a full glass) of juice, water or other fluid. Drink immediately. Drinking additional liquid is helpful. If minor gas or bloating occurs, reduce the amount you take until your system adjusts.
Caution: A very small percentage of individuals, particularly health care providers who have been occupationally exposed to psyllium dust, may develop a sensitivity to psyllium. This sensitivity may result in an allergic reaction. If you experience a strong reaction, with difficulty in swallowing or breathing after taking this product, seek immediate medical attention. Keep out of the reach of children.
