Psyllium Husk Caps 500mg
One of the few supplements with an FDA-approved health claim (cholesterol reduction). The science is rock solid. Capsule format is convenient but you'd need 10+ for therapeutic doses. For serious fiber, powder wins. For moderate boost, these work.
6.5/10
GOODPsyllium husk at 1500mg per 3-capsule serving. Psyllium itself is gold-standard fiber (FDA health claim for cholesterol), but the dose per serving is only 21% of the optimal 7000mg. You'd need 14+ capsules daily for full clinical benefit. Capsule format is the limiting factor here. The powder version would deliver much more per serving. Good ingredient, wrong delivery format for therapeutic dosing.

What We Like
- FDA-approved heart health claim (reduces LDL cholesterol).
- One of the most studied fiber supplements.
- Soluble fiber feeds beneficial gut bacteria.
- NOW Foods quality at budget pricing.
Watch Out For
- Need 5-10g daily for cholesterol benefits. This gives 1.5g per 3 caps.
- Would need 10-20 capsules daily for therapeutic dose.
- Powder form (like Metamucil) is more practical for higher doses.
