Yerba Prima developed Psyllium Husks
formulations to provide the highest
cleansing activity of all fibers. Psyllium
Husks formulations help to promote
regularity, lower cholesterol and are 4-8
times stronger than oat bran. It is a
concentrated source of natural dietary
fiber. A daily fiber intake of at least 25
grams is recommended for good health,
but on average people consume only 10
to 15 grams. Swell Volume: For products
with only psyllium husks, the USP
requires a minimum of 40 ml/g swell
volume, a measure of how absorbent
the fiber is. Yerba Prima Psyllium Husks
Caps far exceed the standard with a
normal swell volume of 50 to 65 ml/g,
which means that it is absorbing 50 to
65 times its weight in liquid and waste
materials as it passes through the
digestive system. Start by taking 1
serving each day. Gradually increase to
3 servings per day as needed. Swallow
one capsule at a time. Take each
serving with at leat 8 ounces (a full
glass) of water or other fluid. Drinking
additional liquid is helpful. If minor gas
or bloating occurs, reduce the amount
you take until your system adjusts.
