NOW Foods Psyllium Husk Caps 500 mg
Description
NOW Psyllium Husk Caps 500 mg deliver natural soluble fiber in capsule form for people who want to support regularity without mixing a powder into liquid. Most American diets fall well short of recommended daily fiber intake, and psyllium is one of the most studied ways to help close that gap.
Each 3 capsule serving provides 1,500 mg of psyllium seed husk, contributing 1.3 g of total carbohydrate and 1.1 g of dietary fiber (4% DV), made up of 1.0 g soluble fiber and 0.1 g insoluble fiber, along with 5 calories.
Take the capsules with a full 8 oz glass of liquid, up to three times daily. NOW manufactures this formula in an Intertek GMP certified facility; it is Non-GMO Project Verified, Halal, Kosher, and vegan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why capsules instead of the powder?
The capsules are a convenient way to get psyllium husk fiber without mixing and drinking a powder, though they still require a full glass of liquid with each serving.
Do I have to drink water with this?
Yes, NOW's label requires an 8 oz glass of liquid with every serving; psyllium expands significantly and needs adequate fluid.
Can children take this product?
No, this product is not intended for children.
Who should not take this product?
People who have difficulty swallowing should not take this product, and anyone pregnant, nursing, or on medication should consult a physician first.
How is this different from NOW's Psyllium Husk Powder?
Both provide the same psyllium seed husk fiber; this version is pre-measured into capsules, while the powder is mixed into water or juice and offers a larger per serving fiber dose.
