Surveys have shown that the fiber content of the American diet is typically about half of government recommended levels. Psyllium Husks can be a convenient way to increase the intake of dietary fiber. It has the ability to swell up to 50 times its initial volume when added to liquid. This bulking action can play an important role in maintaining regularity and gastrointestinal health.*
Psyllium is a natural plant fiber imported from India.

Comments about NOW Foods Psyllium Husk plus Apple Pectin, 750mg, Capsules:
Psyllium is great stuff. I would recommend taking the psyllium out of the gel capsule of this pill though and adding it to a glass of water. The capsule gets stuck in my esophegus (spelling?), and I need to use bread to get it down. Psyllium is awsome for your regularity. Hard to recommend this particular pill to a friend due to it being hard to swallow.

I like a lot of fiber in my diet. I take two of these each day along with eating fiber. These are suppose to be helpful with weight control with the apple pectin in them.
