An organic psyllium husk fiber powder with negligible iron, intended for digestive health rather than direct energy, productivity, hair, or mood support.
Viva Naturals Organic Psyllium Husk Powder is designed to provide dietary fiber to support digestive regularity and gut health. Although a healthy digestive system can contribute to a general feeling of well-being, which might indirectly affect energy or mood, this product does not directly target 'Energy', 'Productivity Boost', 'Hair Health', or 'Mood Support' as its primary function. Its iron content of only 1.00mg is too insignificant to make any difference in addressing iron deficiency-related symptoms relevant to these goals.
- Good source of organic dietary fiber (psyllium husk) for digestive regularity.
- Versatile powder form can be mixed into various foods or drinks.
- Extremely low iron content, rendering it ineffective for iron deficiency-related goals.
- Primary function (fiber supplement) does not directly align with specified goals of energy, productivity, hair, or mood support.
- May cause bloating or gas if not consumed with adequate water.
- Individuals with swallowing difficulties should exercise caution due to psyllium's gelling properties.
- Consult a doctor before use if you have a medical condition or are taking medication, as fiber can affect absorption.

Categories
Iron 5.0
With only 1.00mg of iron per serving, this product provides an entirely insignificant amount of the mineral and cannot be considered an effective iron supplement within the 'Iron' collection.
Goals
Energy 10.0
Psyllium husk primarily supports digestive health. While a healthy gut can contribute to overall vitality, it is not a direct energy supplement, and its negligible iron content offers no support for iron-deficiency related fatigue.
Productivity Boost 10.0
Any influence on productivity would be indirect through general well-being derived from improved digestion. There's no direct cognitive enhancement from psyllium, and the iron dose is too low to impact mental focus related to iron status.
Mood Support 10.0
While gut health contributes to the gut-brain axis, the role of psyllium in direct mood support is minor and indirect. The negligible iron content offers no benefits for mood disturbances linked to iron deficiency.
