Maybe there's different kinds, but I put only a tsp. in my protein shakes every day for the added fiber which is always good for intestinal health. It's always a good idea to follow label directions, but psyllium is a good source of fiber and I doubt that taking it on a long-term basis will hurt you, but perhaps you should use 1/2 the normal dose (or less) for ongoing health maintenance, rather than the doses recommended as a "laxative". Read the label again.... does it have two sets of instructions by chance?
Remember, always drink lots and lots of water with your psyllium.... at least 16 oz or so.
