Psyllium is made from the husk of seeds of the shrub-like herb called plantago ovata. Psyllium is a high-fiber dietary additive commonly fed to horses to help expel sand from the digestive system which may aid in the prevention of colic, impaction, diarrhea and other problems associated with a build-up of sand in the colon. Second, it falls in the category of "prebiotic," meaning it serves as a source of food for the beneficial bacteria that live in the colon.
Probiotics are live microorganisms (bacteria and yeast) that help promote healthy digestive function and support a healthy immune system. Often referred to as ‘good bugs’ they help break down ingredients/contents that the body normally can't, and help inhibit ‘bad bugs’ from growing.
How does Sand Free compare to other Psyllium supplements in the market?
MVP: Sand Free has 99% Psyllium seed/husk, but also adds 1 billion CFU's of Probiotics to help maintain a healthy gut flora which in turn supports digestion, utilization of nutrients and feed stuffs.

I give this product 5 stars. I run an animal sanctuary with 21 horses & burros and we buy the 50lb bags. They all love the taste and I like that they are pellets, which do not blow away on windy days. Since we are in the desert, I use it as a preventative by using it for a week out of every month. The price is always low. Thank you!
