How many capsules make a serving?

The label directs a serving of several capsules to reach a useful fiber amount, so check the bottle for the exact count. Each capsule is 500 mg of psyllium husk.

How does this compare with psyllium powder?

Powder lets you mix a larger dose into water or juice in one go and is easier to adjust. Capsules are more portable and avoid the gritty texture but require several pills per serving.

Will it cause bloating?

Bulk-forming fibers can cause gas or bloating when you start, especially if you increase fiber quickly. Start with a smaller amount and drink plenty of water.

Does it have a flavor?

No. The capsules are unflavored and unsweetened, unlike flavored psyllium drink mixes.

When should I take it?

Take it with a full glass of water, and follow the label directions for timing and serving size. Do not take it dry.

It is a bulk-forming fiber, not a stimulant laxative. It adds soluble fiber that absorbs water and supports normal transit.

Our take on the NOW Supplements Psyllium Husk Caps 500 mg

NOW Psyllium Husk Caps deliver 500 mg of psyllium husk powder per capsule, a soluble fiber that swells when it meets liquid and helps support regularity and healthy digestive transit. The capsule form avoids the gritty texture and mixing that loose psyllium powder requires, though it means swallowing several capsules to reach a useful fiber dose. It suits people who want a simple way to add bulk-forming fiber to a low-fiber diet or to support occasional constipation. Compared with flavored psyllium drink mixes, it is plainer and unflavored, and compared with single-ingredient powders it is more portable but less flexible for adjusting each serving.
