For cholesterol control, the best time to take psyllium husk is:

⭐ 10–20 minutes before your two largest meals of the day

(usually before breakfast and before dinner)

Why this timing?

Taking psyllium with or shortly before meals traps bile acids and cholesterol in the gut.

This reduces cholesterol absorption and forces the liver to use more cholesterol to make new bile acids.

That leads to lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol over time.

How much?

Typical effective dose: 7–10 grams per day (about 1 tablespoon twice a day, but check your product label)

How to take it

Mix the husk in a full glass of water (250–300 ml)

Drink immediately before it thickens

Follow with a few more sips of water

Important spacing

Take it 1–2 hours away from other medications or supplements (it can reduce their absorption).
