Recently I embarked on a journey for the holiest of holies. The holy grail of bowel movements, if you will: one which results in a "ghost wipe". A wise woman once said "Nothing is as overrated as sex, and as underrated as a good bowel movement." While I can't completely agree with that, I will say this: These pills are saving me tens of dollars every year on toilet paper.

Tell me, human, does your day not seem brighter when you wipe, look at your toilet paper and realize it was a clean break?

I take 4 in the morning and 4 at night with copious amounts of water and this seems to do the trick. Bravo, psyllium husk.

Same product ingredients and much, much, much better price than the popular drugstore brand of psyllium husk caps.

This has got to be the best invention, second to digestive enzymes! Take them with almost every meal. Two with very heavy meals. Never a problem. Between the Now Psyllium Husk Caps.fiber & Enzymedica Digest GOLD Digestive Enzymes, we never have stomach aches, bloating or indigestion! (Even if we eat an occasional greasy, fried meal!) You have got to try them, you'll never go back! Promise! BRAVO!

I think 500mg of fiber per capsule is an awfully small amount. Since you are supposed to get about 25gm a day, you need a lot of capsules to have much impact. I have been opening the capsules onto my cereal or into my smoothies rather than trying to swallow so many large pills. I would highly recommend buying bulk powder rather than capsule form.

This is the best method to take psyllium husk (metamucil). Tasteless capsules are much better than trying deal with the disgusting powder. I take 3 caps in the morning and 3 more at night. Have been using these caps for years with great success. And, the price is the best!!!

I'm a 50 year old female and very fit. I bought this product via Amazon about a month ago to add extra fiber, naturally and to get more regular. I also have Candida and my digestion was very erratic. I take 9 capsules a day and it works very well. I do not suffer any side affects, such as gas or bloating. I actually read about Psyllium Husk in a Candida book and so glad I did. The price is also reasonable, especially for 500 capsules. I will definitely be buying these again. It's also important to eat lots of dark, green veggies in your diet.

These pills are a wonderful supplement to the daily American diet. None of us take in nearly enough fiber in our diet. This all natural product integrates seemlessly with your diet without any adverse effects. My whole family is taking the product to supplement our diet. A very great move for us!!!

I bought these in place of the powder that you make into shakes. I couldn't keep the shakes down, and the capsules have worked wonderfully. If interested, I would definitely recommend them. They aren't any bigger than most vitamins, and should be taken one at a time with a total of 14 ounces of water. That's worked for me. Hope this was helpful.

Found the correct product. I had always been very regular. Seems that, after retirement and some change in eating habits and maybe a bit less excercise, I started having some missed regularity. I do not care for 'laxitive' products, (very uncomfortable) I had taken, (when needed) various fibre therapy, (the orange mix stuff). Worked, but not consistent and not convenient...and "yuck" on the taste.

This product, (in capsule form) has now got me back to daily regular as clockwork. Little or no effort. I started with (2)capsules twice a day, (suggested dose is (3) twice a day). Whereas (2) capsules was working for me, it was a bit sporadic and I did not want to start 'missing' a day or two. I then took the recommended (3) twice a day..and now it is perfect.

I am not one to believe in 'cure-alls', but Psyllium Husk does purport to cleanse intestinal health. This product has all but stopped my having to take anti-acid products after desiring a great 'pizza' or such, (once in awhile). So, (for me) it seems to be doing the 'cleanse' portion as well as regularity.

Remember, (as any product) use as directed, with close attention to water intake. Amazon, (as always) has great pricing and delivered in a timely manner.

These capsules work as advertised, calming my touchy digestive track. You do have to take 6 capsules to get 3 grams of fiber, so you will be popping a lot of capsules if you're like me and need a higher dosage to combat both IBS symptoms and high cholesterol. These capsules should not be taken within 2 hours of consuming any prescription medication, as the fiber can reduce their efficacy. These psyllium husk capsules work just as well as any of the name brands, but at a much more reasonable price...
