- Its 5,000 mg of psyllium (unspecified) is higher than 92% of the 156 psyllium (unspecified) products that print an amount; 8 list more.
The NIH database records one serving a day from the label's directions; its % Daily Values are for adults and children 4 or more years of age. The directions as printed are further down this page.
