Which is better and/or more effective, the Psyllium capsules or powder?

Believe it's the same powder, it's personal preference. I don't like to add to my food or water with a fiber supplement. I prefer pills, I take them in the evening :)

This is anecdotal, but I found the raw powder to be more effective. I find the capsules to be much more convenient however.

I like the powder, it's cheaper, the wife likes the capsules,they're easier and they must work, I haven't heard any complaints.

For me the capsules are the way to go. The powder has a terrible taste to it. I can swallow five capsules with water and find that it works just as well. It is an easy way to supplement your fibre.

I have used both and can notice no difference in effectiveness. I find the capsules easier to travel with.

Powder capsules. But they are not high in Glucosamine content. This means I have to take 5 capsules for a correct dose.

True, it is absorbed better. BUT ... if you don't take your calcium pills at the frequency you're supposed to or miss doses -- because you have a difficult time getting the hard, dry pills down your throat -- these delicious chews are an excellent alternative. I NEVER miss taking these!

I use the softgels when I go on vacation. They are no larger than fish oil pills. I find I need to take 500 mg a day to keep me regular. So I need to take 4 -5 softgels a day. It is less expensive to use the powder. I put a heaping tsp. in a mug of lemon water in the morning when I first get up and usually within an hour of drinking it, I am cleansed! I've been doing this for over 10 years now. It works for me! I have only used the NOW brand because I feel they are a reputable company that produces a quality product.

I have no idea what is recommended. I mixed one pound MS with lots of other stuff like Green vibrance, Super seed, Phylum Husks, Cinnamon, Nettle Leaf & black walnut hull powder. I take a scoop full every morning on an empty stomach mixed with a tab spoon Bragss organic apple vinegar, water and pomegranate juice. Topped with a ½ teaspoon Saw palmetto powder. Supplements in tablet form is a waste of money. Rather digest it in a food preparation. Great stuff for the "factory' (digestive track)

Sorry, I don't know the answer. But, my Dr. told me to get this product to help with a body rash I was having that wasn't anywhere near my feet and it worked great. I've since tried other powders, from jock itch powder to general medicated powder and they all seem to work the same for me and my rash. So, now I go with the cheapest.

I just swallow the capsules whole, they're a little on the large side but manageable. I don't know if it will reduce the effectiveness if you mix the powder with something.

Yes, the Beet Root Powder is the same as what is in capsules, but purchasing the powder and mixing 1 teaspoon with 3 ounces of water or juice works better in my opinion. I have used both capsules and powder and prefer using the powder and mixing it.

Yes it dissolves in water much better than apple pectin, which is why I chose this product over apple pectin products. And this works much better than psyllium husk.

Powder is better at least for me. The tablets are pretty big and I had to chop them.

The Psyllium Husks from Barry Farm are finely ground. They were smaller granules than I was accustomed to (compared to the Coarse Metamucil grind), but I was able to use them with a little additional mixing.

With all supplements, capsules are usually the same powder packed into gelatin shells. They bio-availability is basically identical, but you are paying a premium for convienience and gelatin. As a warning, this product does not mix easily, so order your magic potion shaken not stirred.

I've used both. The only downside I've found here is texture. This brand is very powdery to the point of being messy. The taste is good.

Bianca Naturals phytoceramides are based on the most effective formulation on the market - Ceramide-PCD patent by Oryza. This has been show to be about 35% more effective than wheat-based products. There are 40mg per capsule. You take 1 capsule per day. Hope this helps! Let us know if you have any other questions.

That depends on how you use the powder. Polysporin powder actually contained two antibiotics (polymyxin b sulfate and bacitracin zinc) that were specific against certain skin bacteria. Columbia powder is an antiseptic powder which means that it changes the skin pH to make it less hospitable to all forms of microbial invaders (bacteria and fungus) and it contains zinc oxide to help kill off microbial over growth. Zinc is the element that the skin naturally uses to fight of microbial invasion. So, the product is similar, but more appropriate for daily use.

I prefer Tripernol, because it is oil in a gelcap, not powder in a capsule (which I have also used alternating with Tripernol). Both forms seem to be effective in helping eliminate my right knee pain. I like what I have read about Tripernol's careful production methods and that it was used in a study which showed improvement in asthma patients' lung function in addition to its anti-arthritis benefits.

Take it before you leave house..... works good with psyllium capsules. Take 4 psyllium capsules with every meal.... about one every 4 bites.Take half a Kirkland at beginning of meal..... half at end.
