Anthony's Organic Psyllium Husk Powder, 1.5 lb, Gluten Free, Non GMO, Finely Ground, Keto Friendly

Pros: Dissolves easily and completely. Only one ingredient (psyllium husk). It's organic. No sugars added. Cons: Will gel if you let it sit for a couple of minutes after mixing with water (which is normal) so I can't premix and take it to work. I recommend Anthony's psyllium husk powder because it's easy to drink. It doesn't have any flavor or sugar which is a plus if you want to mix it into your smoothie or favorite drink. Some people use it to regulate their digestive system, and it seems to work. This bag will last a long time since one teaspoon is all you need for one serving.

This is a great product at a very reasonable price, and if you take psyllium fibre daily you'll save a lot in the long run using this instead of drug store brand sizes. I've seen other reviews that complain about this product not mixing well, but that is simply the nature of psyllium husks rather than a fault of the product maker. If you want one that mixes easier the drug store brands are for you, but you'll have to be OK with additives that in some cases the jury is still out on in terms of long-term health and use. You can mitigate the difficulty mixing this product by using warm water (or other beverages) rather than cold, which causes the psyllium to clump. Be sure when using psyllium to drink a large glass of water and mix it very well, otherwise you could cause a blockage in your intestines. I think for the price this is an excellent value and I'll save a lot in the long run using this instead of drug store brands.

I bought this product for some Keto recipes I want to try. The description states the product is, first and foremost, Gluten Free. Now, I can tolerate gluten but do want to avoid eating it wherever possible; I also realise there are a lot of people who cannot tolerate gluten at all. Well, I received my product today, and it has odd labels slapped all over it telling me the product is "Low Gluten"; the Gluten Free writing is also blacked out on the back...with Sharpie?? The Amazon barcode label, however, still maintains it's "Gluten Free". Don't know if I'll keep or return this yet; isn't filling me with any great confidence to use it.

I was having trouble finding unflavoured Metamucil (or generic equivalent). This product has the same active ingredient (ground psyllium husks), but without the flavouring, sweetening, or filler. Psyllium gently helps to keep you regular, and has been shown to help lower lipid levels in the bloodstream. As a result, a teaspoon of this packs more fibre than a tablespoon of regular Metamucil. I mix a teaspoon into a smoothie, but you could just as easily stir it into juice or plain water. The powder adds texture to your liquids, but doesn't noticeably affect the taste. For the price of a container of Metamucil, I have roughly four times the number of doses. Of course, you should never attempt to consume psyllium husks without first mixing them with liquid (or adding them to baked goods). The packaging is very clear on this point. People who complain that the product poses a choking hazard need to learn how to read directions.

This is in general a good prduct to be regular and clean the stomach, however, this batch that I received had grit in it.
