Label statements

FDA Statement of Identity: All Natural Fiber Supplement

Directions: It is most effective when used everyday, and can be used as long as desired.

Formulation: Does NOT Contain: Gluten-Free: psyllium husks do not contain any gluten so people who are gluten sensitive can use them. Yerba Prima uses only premium quality psyllium husks, without added sweeteners, colors or additives.

Precautions: Allergies: CAUTION: A very small percentage of individuals, particularly health care providers who have been occupationally exposed to psyllium dust, may develop a sensitivity to psyllium. This sensitivity may result in an allergic reaction. If you experience a strong reaction, with difficulty in swallowing or breathing, after taking this product, seek immediate medical attention.

Precautions: Children: Keep out of the reach of children.

Directions: FOR REGULARITY: Psyllium husks promote easy, healthy elimination and sweep waste out of the colon more quickly. To maintain regularity and speed waste removal, take 1 to 3 servings a day, either with or between meals.

Directions: FOR HEART HEALTH: To help maintain healthy cholesterol levels and support heart health, take 2 servings a day, with meals. SUGGESTED USE: ADULTS AND CHILDREN OVER 12: 1 tablespoon, one to three times a day. CHILDREN 6 - 12: 1 teaspoon, one to three times a day. See Directions. DIRECTIONS: Start by taking 1 serving each day. Increase to 2 or 3 servings per day if needed. Can be taken either between meals, or with food, as desired. Stir powder briskly into at least 8 ounces (a full glass) of liquid. Juice, water, soy or rice drink, and milk are all good with Psyllium Whole Husks. Drink immediately. Drinking additional liquid is helpful. If minor gas or bloating occurs, reduce the amount you take until your system adjusts.

Formula: Contains: Note: The carbohydrate in this product is primarily non-digestible fiber; digestible carbohydrate is less than 1/2 gram per serving.
