Psyllium Husk Powder

Ground psyllium seed husk, the fibre in Metamucil, sold plain and cheap by the bag. A teaspoon in a big glass of water.

• 100% psyllium husk
• Powder
• Unflavoured

Why you’d want it: The fibre people add when they are eating much less than usual. Plain powder is a fraction of the price of the branded orange tubs.

Picking tip: Always with a full glass of water, and start with half a teaspoon — the classic mistake is a heaped spoon in a small glass. 'Husk powder' dissolves better than whole husks. If you take other tablets, leave a couple of hours either side; fibre slows everything down.

Supplements are food, not medicine: nothing here treats or prevents anything. If you take any medicine, ask a pharmacist first.
