Yerba Prima Psyllium can not be beat. It takes a couple weeks to get used to it, and I don’t mean only your gut: it does not dissolve in water, so when you mix the powder in water, you end up drinking what has the consistency of sludge. There is no flavor.

Whatever psyllium you choose, be careful of lead content. https://www.consumerlab.com/reviews/psyllium-supplements/psy... has reviews and analysis of 8 products, including lead content.

I’ve been using this stuff almost daily for many years.

Yeah so that article requires payment. Apparently it recommends the brand Yerba Prima as top lead-free choice.
Correct (I subscribe to consumerlab.com)
Almost all psyllium is grown in India. They only banned leaded gas last year.
Wow. So many products with lead. Thanks for sharing that link. I hope it helps a few people. I know it's going to help me.
