NOW FOODS PSYLLIUM HUSK - ORANGE FLAVOR 12 OZ

Psyllium is a true dietary fiber, even though it is classified by some as a laxative or mucilaginous fiber, and is a convenient way to increase intake of dietary fiber because of its high mucilage content.  This bulking agent swells considerably when added to liquid, which can help to support healthy gastrointestinal transit time.  This bulking action and healthy transit time can play an important role in maintaining healthy gastrointestinal function.*

 

Suggested Usage:  As a dietary supplement, mix 1 heaping teaspoon into at least 12 oz. of water or juice and consume immediately.  Be sure to drink plenty of additional fluids throughout the day.  Start with smaller amounts and gradually increase over several weeks.  Consider taking this product in combination with NOW® Gr-8-Dophilus™, Triphala and Detox Support™.

 

Other Ingredients:  Rice Maltodextrin, Natural Orange Flavor, Beta-Carotene, Citric Acid and Beet Powder.  Vegetarian/Vegan Product.

 

 

Warning:  Take this product as recommended.  Without drinking enough liquid the product may swell in the throat, causing blockage or choking.  Avoid use if swallowing difficulties occur.
