Effective and Natural--Wish Amazon Would Carry This Product
After taking Metamucil and wondering why the only fibers on the market seemed to have sweeteners and flavorings, I found this product. I have used it for about five years, and I feel MUCH better than I had previously. That could be because the stress I experienced, which aggravated my reasons for taking this product, has lessened. But I also attribute part of my increased comfort directly to this product. It is, as other reviewers have said, easy to use, and it is free from additives--additives that, one might say, do more to exacerbate a number of problems that many people face who need to take this fiber.
There are in fact other versions of all-natural psyllium husk fiber that I have discovered after using this one. Trader Joe's, for example, sells its own brand, and it is similarly without additives. However, I find that the textures vary slightly from brand to brand, even if the basic ingredient is exactly the same. And my body likes, ahem, regularity. So, I am sticking with this one.
My only issue with Yerba Prima here is that they apparently do not let Amazon sell their product directly (or perhaps that Amazon does not find it profitable enough to do so). Those of us who depend on a constant supply of psyllium husk to feel well and to lower cholesterol would, I think, be grateful if we could purchase in bulk through Amazon. Just a suggestion.
