Will psyllium husk reduce the effectiveness of other supplements/medications if !


Question:

Will psyllium husk reduce the effectiveness of other supplements/medications if it's taken at the same time?

I know that activated charcoal, for example, will absorb nutriants or medicine that's taken at the same time. Will psyllium husk do the same?


Answers:

Yes, the general rule is to avoid taking a large amount of fiber with any other supplements or medications, as it can interfere with absorption. Taking fiber an hour before or two hours after is usually adequate to avoid any interference.

And by the way, be sure to take the psyllium with plenty of water (8-16 ozs), or it can have a constipating effect.
