Slow Moving Fun Seeker –
I wanted to write a review of this product and in so doing, clarify several details of psyllium powder that seem to be widely misunderstood.
First, I like this psyllium powder as it is the finest grind of any I have tried. I have taken psyllium powder daily for over three decades. So I haven’t tried them all, but I have tried a number of them. I do not bake with them, so I cannot provide any information on that. But I do put the powder into smoothies, so I feel well equipped to provide some information on that. I think this psyllium powder is more expensive than any of the others, and I have dinged it one star for that. Otherwise, I think it’s a five-star product.
In thinking about psyllium, remember it is a crop that is grown, harvested, and processed. So there will be periodic variations in color, flavor, aroma, and so forth. The grind is the one thing that should be controllable by human technology. In fact, the main difference in psyllium powder for smoothie use that I have found is in the fineness of the grind and the flavor. Psyllium does have its own flavor–it’s not terrible at all, but certainly not my favorite flavor and not one that I would want to predominate in smoothies. I prefer a fine grind so that my smoothie is not gritty. Gritty is why I much prefer powder to whole husks.
In terms of solubility in water, I don’t think any brand is soluble in just plain liquid. I don’t think floating to the top and not mixing is specific to any brand. It’s the nature of psyllium husks. Even ground finely, this is not a fine powder (like sugar) that *dissolves* in liquid. This stuff, regardless of brand does not actually dissolve. It is small pieces of the seed husk and will always float. It will–at best–be suspended in liquid, which is referred to as an *emulsion.* I would recommend abandoning any notion that stirring it up in a glass of water is feasible. Put it in a smoothie and let a blender do the work.
As far as I know, all commercially-grown psyllium is grown in India. Every container of it should say, “Product of India.” If it does not, I would be most suspicious. This is not new, it is not a scam, it is not a ripoff. It is simply grown in India. All of it.
There is the matter of lead warnings and here’s the deal about that. All of the psyllium from India has lead in it. Lots of foods do. It occurs naturally in the soils and the plant absorbs it. A lot of the Indian herbal remedies have lead or other heavy metals in them for the same reason, so tread carefully there.
Those of you who freak out about lead in psyllium should know that the rice plant tends to absorb arsenic. So most of the rice sold in stores has an arsenic component–again, it depends on what is in the soil where it is grown.
These examples are not because some nefarious person added heavy metals into the product. The lead and arsenic come from the soils. Those who may be interested might look at the United Nations well-digging project in Bangladesh to provide drinking water for the population. Turns out the well water had naturally occurring arsenic–in this case a lot of it–and it killed and sickened many people. An American water supply volunteer organization helped the Bangladeshis treat their water to remove the arsenic. But I digress.
The warning about lead usually comes from the California Prop 65 requirements that require sellers to indicate when a product contains hazardous chemical or minerals, even if the level is very low and beneath the safe level. I think any brand with integrity should be able to produce a Certificate of Analysis that will show exactly how much lead is in the product. If they refuse, I would be suspicious. But was the certificate they send related to the batch you consumed? Maybe, maybe not. And the lead levels may vary from batch to batch. No scam here either, it’s just the way it is.
I do think it is worth purchasing organically-grown psyllium as at least then you don’t have to worry about pesticides and so forth.
For reference, the other psyllium powder I like is from Terrasoul, as it is cheaper and almost as fine a grind as the Konsyl. But Terrasoul has had trouble keeping it in stock. As I write this, they are again out of stock. Another brand I like is Kos, but alas, they are also out of stock.
I hope this clears up some of the issues surrounding this product. Have a nice day.

No one actually wants this, but if you’re going to use psyllium, this is a good one. No complaints here.

My gastrointestinal Doctor recommended this project. It will keep you regular and, provides fiber your body needs. I use one teaspoon in apple sauce or yogurt. It thickens up quickly, so I don’t like it in drinks. It should be ok in smoothies. I might add it to some foods.

I’ve been using this product without issue for over a year. The one star rating is to hopefully draw attention to this issue. The expiration date was getting close so they just placed a sticker over top the date adding another year to the expiration. This feels slimy and untrustworthy. I’ve never had an issue with the product and will use this package since it will be consumed before the original manufacturer expiration but I wanted to warn people that something doesn’t look right about this. You can see in the pictures the new expiration sticker, another previous sticker under that one, and then the original stamped manufacturer expiration.

This is a great way to get extra fiber in your diet. I previously tried Metamucil, but I don’t like the tons of extra sugar or the sugar substitute. This is just Psyllium fiber, nothing else, and it is cheaper. It has no flavor. I put it in my morning smoothies and it blends nicely. I’ve repurchase this powder several times and will continue to do so.

I am using this in my gluten free yeast breads and so far they are doing great.

Ah, the world of psyllium fiber….the good, the bad, and the entirely useless. This Konsyl 100% pure psyllium powder does exactly what it is supposed to do, without fail. It tastes horrid but we all know that. If you don’t drink it within seconds, it solidifies…as expected. For those of us who must use it, this is the best since it does exactly what it is supposed to do very efficiently. The product is pure and of high quality. This price point is not out of line, although high. If you’ve been told you need it, then get it. It works!

Don’t use too much or you will clog up your gut. Stirring the product in a glass of water works for most folks, but involves extra clean up afterwards.
Others just place a small amount on their tongue and wash it down. Careful not to inhale while doing so during that last process and always drink plenty of water. Consider a second glass of water a little later if necessary.
