Psyllium Husk Combination
TerraVita
Overview
The effectiveness of this product is limited by the proprietary blend and the use of glycerite liquid extracts for ingredients typically studied in different forms and doses. While psyllium husk is highly effective, its efficacy in a glycerite liquid extract and at an unspecified dose within a proprietary blend is questionable for its primary benefits. Hibiscus and Licorice Root have some evidence but their contribution here is unclear.
The Good
Contains generally safe botanical ingredients.
Convenient liquid glycerite form, suitable for those avoiding alcohol-based extracts.
Ingredients like psyllium, hibiscus, and licorice root have well-researched individual benefits.
The Bad
Proprietary blend (0.13 mL total) makes it impossible to verify effective dosing of individual ingredients.
Psyllium husk is typically dosed in grams (7-15g/day), making its efficacy as a liquid glycerite extract at such low total volume highly questionable.
No direct clinical evidence supports the efficacy of psyllium husk in a glycerite liquid extract form.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking digestive support, those with irregular bowel movements, people looking to increase fiber intake
Skip If: You have difficulty swallowing, intestinal obstruction, or a history of allergic reactions to psyllium
