Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why does the mixture thicken if I don't drink it immediately?
Psyllium husk is hydrophilic, meaning it rapidly absorbs liquid to form a gel. Stir briskly and drink promptly after mixing. If it becomes too thick, simply add more water.
Does "unflavored" mean it is sugar-free?
No. While this powder lacks added fruit flavorings, it contains sucrose (sugar) to assist with texture and mixability.
Can I use this for cholesterol support?
Yes, but you should consult a doctor if you are considering the use of this product specifically as part of a cholesterol-lowering program.
