Mucilin not available any more

[Lorry]

It used to come in sachets (expensive) and in cans of 400g (much cheaper).

It is not available in pharmacies,  neither online. "Out of stock".

Anybody knows an alternative?

Or whether it will be available again?

[Thailand J]

Mucilin is not worth your money. Each 11g contains 3.4g husk.

You'll get better deal on Lazada.

You can buy %100 psyllium husk at any health food store for cheaper. 

Good Karma carries bag of it.

 

 

[Sheryl]

You can get psyllium at Villa markets and also online easily.

[Polaky]

Better to use probiotic capsules,  kefir is available here also, husk can have an adverse effect.

[newbee2022]

order at LAZADA. If not available, please look for PSYLLIUM HUSK, for 99 Baht per 100g.

[Lazybones]

You can get a better alternative called MetaMucil on Lazada

[lopburi3]

As said easy to order on Lazada as psyllium.  Not a fan of power taste myself so always order Now Foods, Psyllium Husk Caps (although more expensive than plain psyllium husk).

Thanks for all the answers

Very helpful,  I didn't know this

I'm glad someone finally brought up this subject. I didn't think about sharing here. I've been diligently looking for the SF and then the regular since the first of the year (Anyway, it seems like that long).  I've written emails to Berlin and even requested info on their webpage, but, alas, they don't respond.

 

I've started using Benefiber.  I used the MetaMucil in the US, but haven't tried it over here. I guess I'll have to run the numbers and see how the cost will work-out.

 

Are you fighting constipation? I was, but I stumbled on a great video on youtube about Magnesium deficiency and a supplement suggestion. It has changed my life. I've pasted the address here. You'll have to copy the address and paste it in your browser. I didn't want to paste the https:// BS because it makes a big mess of the post with the 'photo'.  (I bought the magnesium citrate from NineLife)

I also found Mucilin was no longer available the last one-two months.
As pointed out on here, there are other alternatives available

[CALSinCM]

Look up "Psyllium" powder.

I ordered the psyllium in Thailand J's picture. I got grains,  not powder. 
In shoppee and Lazada I cannot find out from the pictures which one is grains, which one is powder. I need powder.
Any experiences?

(as recommended by  Sheryl, tomorrow I will try Villa)

[Lorry]

Correction: its not complete grains, they have been ground somewhat, but still very grainy, very hard. Not a powder at all.

I am happy with the brand. May be they have changed the content? Try another brand. There are many to chose from online, used to be only two or three sellers.

Thx

I will try them all until I find one I like :)

[Lorry]

All these products differ quite lot from each other.

Some are very grainy (Fiber grains as recommended by Thailand J),

Some are more soluble (Mucilin and Do Nutt are the best,  but both are very sugary, Nature First from Villa Market is soso)

Some are very finely ground, makes them very gluey (careful!) (now from iHerb; Gourmazia was so gluey didn't dare to ingest it)

I use a combination of Kellogg's All-Bran daily, and a sachet of Macrogol ( Polyethylene Glycol ) once or twice a week. The Macrogol gets thing moving without producing the runs. Great stuff.
