Psyllium Husks

[timetochange]

Hello, I am now on day thirteen and have lost 20lbs. I am stuck at 14st for five days now. I have been constipated for a while and looked around for the Psyllium Husks. The ones I bought are in capsule form. Ingredients Psyllium Husks, Capsule Shell (Gelatine), Anti-Caking Agents (Magnesium Stearate, Silicon Dioxide)

Allergy Advice: Contains soya and sulphites
Directions: take two capsules three times a day with a glass of water.


Will it be okay to take these?



I have not taken any Vitamin tablets and I am now on day thirteen can anyone tell me what I should look for when buying them?

Thanks for all the help

Re: Psyllium Husks

I bought the capsules from Holland and Barett, they didn't have any powder in. Would I be able to open the capsules and use the powder or will I die?

PS: here is the link to the capsules

Thanks I took two capsules this morning to see if it has a negative effect on my weightloss. If it does I shall take the capsules off. With all this water I feel like I am drinking all the time, lol.
