NOW Foods Psyllium Husks, Whole
Description
NOW Psyllium Husks, Whole is a coarser, whole husk soluble fiber for people who prefer a heartier texture than a fine powder when they mix their daily fiber into a drink. Soluble fiber from foods like psyllium seed husk, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.
Each 2 tablespoon (10 g) serving provides 8 g of total carbohydrate and 7 g of dietary fiber (25% DV), made up of 6 g soluble fiber and 1 g insoluble fiber, along with 35 calories, 10 mg of sodium, 1.7 mg of iron (10% DV), and 100 mg of potassium (2% DV). A serving delivers 6 of the 7 grams of soluble fiber tied to the heart health claim.
Vigorously mix it into at least 12 oz of water or juice and drink right away, working up to the full amount gradually. NOW manufactures this product in a GMP certified, USA based facility; it is Non-GMO Project Verified, Halal, Kosher, and vegan.
