Overview
•Psyllium husk is generally safe at 700 mg per capsule when taken with sufficient water to prevent choking or intestinal blockage; multiple meta-analyses confirm low adverse event rates.
•No significant drug interactions in this formulation, but may slow absorption of medications like carbamazepine or lithium—take separately by 2 hours (per NIH and Drugs.com).
•Dosage is well below the safe upper limit of 30g/day for adults; aligns with clinically effective ranges from RCTs for digestive benefits.
•Not recommended during pregnancy without medical advice due to potential dehydration risks; safe for most adults but consult for children under 6.
•Vegan capsules reduce allergen risks, but psyllium may cause mild GI upset in sensitive individuals; no contamination issues reported for NOW Foods per FDA records.
•Long-term use is safe for healthy adults but monitor for dependency on fiber supplements; contraindicated in swallowing difficulties or bowel obstructions.
