Product Name
Product Overview
NOW Foods Psyllium Husk Caps are a dietary fiber supplement containing powdered psyllium seed husk in vegetarian capsules. This exact configuration contains 500 capsules and is identified by manufacturer SKU 5972 and UPC 733739059727. Each capsule contains 500 mg of psyllium husk, while the documented serving size is three capsules, providing 1,500 mg of psyllium per serving.
Psyllium is a soluble-fiber-rich plant material that absorbs liquid and expands when hydrated. Because of this physical property, adequate fluid intake is particularly important when consuming psyllium capsules. The manufacturer’s directions specify taking the capsules with a full glass of liquid. The 500-capsule bottle provides approximately 166 three-capsule servings. The capsules use a plant-derived capsule shell and are documented as vegetarian and vegan. Psyllium products should be distinguished by strength, serving size, capsule quantity, and physical form because NOW also distributes other psyllium capsule counts and powdered products. This UPC applies only to the 500-capsule, 500 mg configuration documented here.
