How Is NutraStat Different
Unlike Psyllium and other fibres that are naturally bitter, NutraStat is naturally neutral tasting making it incredibly versatile to use. Because it is naturally neutral tasting, NutraStat doesn't require any additives or sugars to make it palatable. NutraStat barley beta-glucan offers greater health benefits than most other brands.
