Natural Psyllium Fiber Powders

No chemical flavoring means highest fiber levels

Psyllium fiber in its natural, pure state has very little flavor. With Konsyl Original or Easy Mix, you flavor it yourself. Mix it with a juice YOU like – or blend it into your morning smoothie or green drink. You can have something different every day! (For ideas on mixing fiber powder, see the Konsyl cocktail recipes here.) And no additives means more fiber in every teaspoonful.

Konsyl Original - Get the maximum fiber per dose

Because Konsyl Original contains no flavoring, sugar, sugar substitutes or fillers, there is more room for the active ingredient – pure psyllium fiber. You get 6g of psyllium per teaspoon, the highest level available on the market.

Six grams of psyllium seed husk = 3 grams soluble fiber. Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include 7 grams of soluble fiber per day from psyllium husk may reduce the risk of Coronary Heart Disease by lowering cholesterol.

Konsyl Easy Mix – Better mixing with high fiber

Easy Mix 4.3g psylliumEasy Mix 4.3g psylliumIf you don’t need the maximum fiber, Easy Mix has 4.3g of psyllium per teaspoonful. It has no sugar or artificial sweeteners. Easy Mix contains corn-derived maltodextrin to make the psyllium a better mixing powder. It’s unflavored so it pairs with your favorite juice. A great choice for avoiding constipation caused by pregnancy or helping to lower cholesterol (with a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol). You'll get 2g of soluble fiber in every teaspoonful.

Why would I choose a fiber powder mix?

  • If you drink a smoothie, green drink or protein shake daily. It’s simple to toss in a teaspoonful of flavorless powdered psyllium.
  • Trying to lose weight or manage your weight? Drinking fiber mixed with liquid helps make you feel more full. An unsweetened juice will help give you a serving of fruit. Or choose a no-sugar mixer like Crystal Light or diet V-8.
  • You want the maximum amount of fiber quickly.
  • You want a lot of fiber without calories. Fiber wafers, cereals, flavored oatmeal and the like have fiber, but they also have plenty of calories. A pure psyllium powder (one without sweeteners) doesn’t. Konsyl Original contains 3 calories per teaspoonful dose.
  • You want help with a digestive health issue.

Remember: Shake, don’t stir, to mix high-fiber powders.

Psyllium fiber does not dissolve away into water like sugar and other inactive ingredients. Psyllium actually absorbs the water around it. (That’s why it works so well in your body!) But it’s also more difficult to mix than products that contain less fiber. Remember,"shake, don't stir". (Shaking 3-5 seconds in a 10-12 ounce cup with a lid works great!) A blender or mini-mixer is also a good tool.
