Konsyl Review And Giveaway

 


I was given the opportunity to try Konsyl Fiber Supplements. I chose the Orange Flavored Balance powdered supplement, and the Konsyl Psyllium Caps 100's. I thought both products were very good but preferred the capsules over the Balance. The powder if good, the taste is not bad. It has a slight orange taste, not too strong! What I didn't love and this is just personal preference, is the pulp like texture. That is the Psyllium fiber of course but i do not like and never did like, pulp in my orange juice! If that isn't an issue for you, you will love the powder! They do warn that you may have some trouble swallowing that and I did find it a little difficult to drink the whole mixture. Again, this is just me being weird, LOL! All in all, I found these products to be very effective and palatable! I would definitely purchase these in the future! Below is more info, and then after that, the giveaway rules and guidelines! The winner will receive a Konsyl Shaker Cup and their choice of one of the four Konsyl products!

We’ve all heard about the digestive and other health benefits of having enough fiber, but in addition to helping promote regularity and good digestive health adequate soluble fiber  intake offers an abundance of health benefits, ranging from a reduced risk of heart disease by lowering cholesterol, to reducing blood sugar absorption, thereby assisting in the management of Type-2 Diabetes. Fiber can also aid in weight loss by making you feel fuller longer.

Psyllium fiber, such as the fiber found in Konsyl Fiber Supplements, is a bulk-forming soluble fiber derived from the outer coating, or "husk" of the psyllium plant's seeds. Because psyllium does not come from wheat it is therefore gluten free and safe for celiac patients. Konsylproducts are also safe for pregnant and nursing women. Just one serving of Konsyl Original Formula 450g provides 6 grams of psyllium fiber (equal to 3 grams of soluble fiber), 75% more than the leading brands.

How do we know if we are actually getting the recommended daily fiber intake? The American Dietetic Association recommends getting between 25-38 grams of fiber each day. Konsyl Psyllium Fiber Supplements, along with a healthy diet that includes plenty of fiber rich foods, will help you achieve your daily fiber goal.
38 grams for men under the age of 50 to 21 years of age
30 grams for men over 50 years of age
25 grams for women under the age of 50 to 21 years of age
21 grams for women over 50 years of age



Many of Konsyl Fiber products are sugar and gluten free and are all natural. The full Konsyl Fiber Supplement line is:


· Made with 100% pure psyllium, a soluble plant fiber


· Safe for celiac patients, diabetics and pregnant and nursing mothers


· Available in powder, capsule and single-serve packets

Psyllium actually absorbs the water around it very quickly, which makes it a bit more difficult to stir. That is why we provide you with a FREE Konsyl Shaker Cup to facilitate easier mixing. Both powdered fiber supplement products may be mixed in a variety of beverages. We do not recommend carbonated drinks because carbonation is not desirable when shaking the product. Some popular choices for mixing include pulpy fruit juices, iced tea, milk, lemonade, or, for those looking to control sugar intake, diet beverages (e.g. Crystal Lite, etc.).
