Double Wood Psyllium Husk
1,500mg per serving, 240 capsules — soluble fiber without orange drink mix
Psyllium is one of the few fiber supplements with outcome data for LDL, satiety, and regularity. Double Wood’s capsules deliver 1,500mg per serving without Metamucil’s sugar or flavoring. Water is mandatory — fiber without fluid is how people get in trouble. Pair with the fiber guide and a plant-heavy plate.

How It Works
Psyllium husk (Plantago ovata) is a well-studied viscous fiber. Meta-analyses support modest LDL reductions and better regularity. It is not a substitute for legumes, oats, and vegetables — it fills the gap when intake is low.
Viscous Soluble Fiber
Forms a gel that slows glucose absorption and can bind bile acids — the LDL story.
Capsule Convenience
No orange drink. Capsules are easier to travel with; powder is cheaper per gram if you will mix it.
Titrate + Water
Start low. Full glass of water with each serving. Increase over a week to avoid GI revolt.
What You'll Experience
Days 1–7
Week 1Gas and fullness are common if you jump to a full serving. Slow down and drink water.
