Overall, this product does what it's supposed to do. You can't beat the price, and it was delivered fast (I think it took about 4 days total with standard shipping).

On the downside, it makes everything you put it in taste like cardboard. I was hoping for no taste, but no luck there. Seriously, no matter what you do and how much you try to cover it up, EVERYTHING is going to taste like cardboard. So, with that in mind, it's best to just put it in a glass of water and drink it down to get it over with, and chase it with another glass to get the taste out of your mouth.

Still, despite the taste, it's totally worth it. Another plus is that there's no filler or BS. 4.5g carbs of which 100% is fiber, so no unnecessary calories or carbs.

I will definitely buy this again when I run out.

This was a great product and a great price. Shipping was fast too. It is better for you than Metamucil because there is none of the additives that Metamucil has. My cholesterol was lowered by 68 points in just 3 months by using this and similar products!! Highly recommended

I love this product! It REALLY works! It helps u slim down and CLEAN UP your insides;)!!!

As most of the other reviews stated, this product DOES exactly what it is suppose to. It definitely keeps you regular and you feel lighter and cleaner. I ALWAYS just mix with water and just gulp it down-quickly, and then I would follow with more water to get rid of any after-taste. Shipping was very fast, maybe 3-4 days and the price is excellent. I will be re-ordering!

product arrived ontime. hopefully will stabilize my digestion but thats a longterm project. hasn't killed me yet.

I was unable to get it local for a while and needed something fast. A good product. Being a powder is best as anything else is too coarse. Quantity and price is about right. Quality is good.

I have struggled with irregularity for as long as I can remember. I started taking this two weeks ago, and I haven't felt this good in a long time. I didn't realize how much is affected by not being regular. I feel lighter and cleaner, and I have sooooo much more stamina and energy. I'm not a doctor, but here are some helpful hints when taking PHP:

1. The directions say to start with 1 rounded teaspoon, but I recommend half of that to begin. I was a little bloated for the first week until my body adjusted to the powder. After that, I increased my dosage about 1/8 of a teaspoon every few days and am up to 2 teaspoons a day now. Don't be afraid to lighten up the dose until your body adjusts. It will work no matter what.

2. Don't mix with water. It tastes like cardboard, so juice works better. I mix one teaspoon with 18 oz. of Crystal Light and I don't taste the powder at all. The label suggests at least 8 oz. of fluid, but I tripled that to kill the taste.

3. And, use a reusable water bottle. This stuff settles if you let it sit for more than a minute, so you'll want to close it and shake it up every so often.

I feel great and will definately order more!

Mixes really well with rice milk and I can really feel the results reaped from cleansing.

Works better than I expected, better than the husks. Absolutely no problem mixing in a blender.

I wanted just plain, unflavored psyllium husks powder & this is it. It was a good price & came fast.
