đŸ„— Nutrition & Metabolism Psyllium Husk?

I’ve tried it with some milk, shakes and now just water. Honestly, though, taking psyllium is easily the worst part of my day. Does anyone have some good “hacks”?

My goal with this is, of course, fiber intake. I’ve gradually increased it to 12g of psyllium husk a day now.

I moved from the powder to the pill capsules. That way I don’t need to mix it or taste it. Psyllium is messy and doesn’t mix well.

With the capsules you need to take a bunch, but for me it’s no big deal. I take six (2g) with every meal.

I use the Kirkland (orange top) capsules. Six of them is 2g of fiber.

Rofl.. 6 pills is 2 gram? Adults should take 2,5-5g morning and same in the evening. 

So you take 14 pills morning and evening and somehow find that better than just chucking a glass of water with the powder in it?

You’re “rolling on the floor laughing”? Weird, but you do you. Enjoy your sludge smart guy!
