Suggested/Recommended/Usage/Directions

Yerba Prima Psyllium Husks for regularity and colon health: Psyllium husks promote easy, healthy elimination and sweep waste out of the colon more quickly. Psyllium husks provide gentle fiber to soothe and normalize the bowel when there is discomfort. To maintain regularity and colon health, take 1 to 3 servings a day, with meals or between meals. Yerba Prima Psyllium Husks for weight maintenance: Dietary fiber plays an important role in weight loss and maintaining healthy weight.
