Psyllium Husk Fiber

The unglamorous fix for a fiber pillar stuck at half.

Why it earns a place

Most people land near 15g of fiber against a 30g target. Psyllium adds 5–7g per serving, supports cholesterol and keeps digestion regular — and it's the cheapest supplement on this page.

Who it's for

Anyone whose fiber log routinely finishes the day under goal.

Who should skip it

You already hit your fiber target from vegetables, beans and fruit — food wins.

Dose

1 tsp–1 tbsp (about 5g fiber) daily, ramped up slowly.

Timing

Any time, in a full glass of water. Never dry.

Typical price

$10–$25

Common questions

Will it make me bloated?

It can if you start big. Begin with a teaspoon, drink plenty of water, and increase over a couple of weeks.

Greens Powder

A backup, never a substitute for vegetables.

Dose: 1 scoop daily.
Skip it if: You eat vegetables at most meals — save the money and buy more produce.

Supplements are optional. Food first — this fills a gap, it doesn't replace meals.
