Any chance we’ll see a high-quality, tested Psyllium Husk powder from ND in the near future?
After years of experimenting with various supplements and nootropics, I’ve realized that gut health is a foundational pillar of overall well-being—right up there with sleep, exercise, and a balanced diet. One thing that’s made a significant difference for me is prioritizing daily fiber intake. In fact, I’ve found that 20g of psyllium husk per day outperforms any pro-, pre-, or postbiotic I’ve tried. For me, gut-related supplements should complement a solid fiber intake, not replace it.
The problem, however, is that many psyllium husk products on the market aren’t rigorously tested for heavy metals, which they’re known to accumulate. That’s the only drawback I’ve encountered. I’d love to see ND step up and provide a thoroughly tested, high-quality option for those of us who rely on psyllium husk for gut health.

Instead of psyllium husk, have you heard of/tried PHGG (partially hydrolysed guar gum)?
I know of at least one hospital that has made the shift and apparently they won't be going back.

Partially hydrolysed guar gum is not a one-for-one replacement for psyllium husk. It is soluble and fermentable. Psyllium husk is soluble and non-fermentable. The issue with fermentable sources is they will alter your microbiome. This is why people have more side effects from guar gum than psyllium husk.
