Indications
Konsyl Original Natural Fiber Supplement: Effective in relieving occasional constipation and restoring regularity
Use as a Fiber Supplement: An easy way to increase your daily fiber intake. Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include 7 grams of soluble fiber per day from psyllium husk, as in Konsyl, may reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering cholesterol. One adult dose of Konsyl Original Formula provides 3 grams of this soluble fiber = 6 grams of psyllium.
Use as a Laxative: For relief of occasional constipation and to induce regularity, generally produces bowel movement in 12 to 72 hours.
Warnings
Allergy Alert: This product may cause an allergic reaction in people sensitive to inhaled or ingested psyllium.

Mix ahead of time with a large bottle of apple juice or cider for convenience and palatability. The taste and texture seem natural and the mix resembles applesauce that’s not quite thick as normal. It’s OK in orange juice but I like this mix the best.
Even though I eat a lot of roughage, before trying Konsyl as recommended by my proctologist, I used to have hemorrhoids that would bleed a little from time-to-time. Since taking this supplement, I have had zero bleeding and the piles have shrunk somewhat. Bowel movements are bulkier, a bit more frequent, but remain comfortable.
Wish I knew about Konsyl years ago.

i have hypothryoid. i bought Konsyl because i have been looking something alternative to dr. levines formula which is a bit expensive. my metabolism got better after it. first time i drunk it with water and i almost already puk after it. and i didn't even realized that, it is only 7gr of fiber when for woman - u should take around 25 and up to be healthy. after this box i will do go back to dr.levines which has around 17 gr in every cup... i do not think i am going to re purchase. but if you 'just want to do number 2 and dont care about anything else, go ahead'
Comments about Konsyl Original Formula Psyllium Fiber, Hydrophilic Mucilloid Supplement Laxative:
This is the only thing that regulates me. I have suffered from constipation all my adult life. Since I started using Konsyl, it is all changed. No gas, no bloating. Always works. Have been using this for about 15 years. All natural, no downside! LOVE IT!
Comments about Konsyl Original Formula Psyllium Fiber, Hydrophilic Mucilloid Supplement Laxative:
I have been using on recommendtion of Cardiologist. It has Blood pressue at 110 over 70 for the last 10 years, I am now over 50. It also serves as a cholesterol reducer. My Colon doctor also recommended to prevent hemoriods and it does in fact work. Fiber in this form is easy to use I mix with 10 oz of OJ. I place my 78 year old mother on this fiber regiment and her cholesterol has dropped, as well as her blood pressure. Same thing for good bowel movement. It is a natural miracle drug.
Comments about Konsyl Original Formula Psyllium Fiber, Hydrophilic Mucilloid Supplement Laxative:
I have been using Konsyl once a day for several years now. After bowel surgery removed my large intestines, I needed a fiber supplement to bulk up movements. Metamucil seemed to be laxative. Konsyl works great, with no laxative effect. I just stir a teaspoon in a cold glass of water before breakfast. It doesn't mix well, so I just drink it "clumpy". It's relatively tasteless and kinda refreshing. I highly recommend it! I would not want to be without it!
Comments about Konsyl Original Formula Psyllium Fiber, Hydrophilic Mucilloid Supplement Laxative:
I started having constipation on a regular basis the last 2 months. Had to take Dulcolax suppositories almost daily - NOT a good thing to be doing. This came in the mail and after one dose I had 2 (not to get gross) mega bowel movements about 2 hours apart. Same thing the next day. I'm now a very happy camper. My age is 52, not overweight, and attribute the constipation mainly to stress.
Comments about Konsyl Original Formula Psyllium Fiber, Hydrophilic Mucilloid Supplement Laxative:
i have been using konsyl for many years and am happy with it.i like the plain konsyl-the orange flavor upsets my stomach,thus i do not use the flavored konsyl. i think that it is very important to read how to use it-with enough water so that you will not cause problems.
Comments about Konsyl Original Formula Psyllium Fiber, Hydrophilic Mucilloid Supplement Laxative:
My proctologist recommended Konsyl for constipation. I will use no other remedy as the others are either harsh (as in laxitives) or ineffective for me (as in any other fiber products). Simply the best product for what it is intended to do!
Comments about Konsyl Original Formula Psyllium Fiber, Hydrophilic Mucilloid Supplement Laxative:
This Fiber works so naturally for you're body. It does not make you go like A laxative. It makes you regular and works wonders for your bowel movements. I truly recommend this product.
Comments about Konsyl Original Formula Psyllium Fiber, Hydrophilic Mucilloid Supplement Laxative:
My doctor recommended Konsyl for me last year, and I have been taking it - regularly (i.e. daily) - ever since. He explained why it was the ONLY fiber supplement that he recommends to his patients, and compared it to the "weak" benefits of other - less expensive - supplements (e.g. Metamucil and Citracel) ... it is the ONLY 100% FIBER supplement on the market ... all natural, with no additives. I am telling you: it WORKS! Yes, it is expensive, but worth every penny!
