psyllium husk / fiber

[David LoPan]

Can you mix psyllium husk into your protein shake? If not how long do you need to wait before or after to drink the fiber?

Are u concerned that the fiber will make u process the protein faster?

[David LoPan]

No I am worried that the fiber will make the protein bind and not get absorbed at all. I like it in my shakes better than in water but someone said that it might be counter productive.

The potential for reduced absorption of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates and proteins is there but is usually negligible and not something to worry about.

^^ what he said. I've done it. I put chia seeds in my shakes sometimes too.

Thanks for the info. I am going to keep doing my morning shakes with the fiber. Good was to take it and it makes everything come out at the same time everyday.
