We didn't set out to start a fiber company

We just wanted fiber that worked — without all the junk

The short version?

  • It started with unbearable gas
  • Psyllium husk worked (shockingly well)
  • The store-bought stuff? Hard pass
  • So we made our own without the junk
  • And our friends and family kept asking for more
  • Now it's Cour, the fiber we've been looking for

It started with some awful gas

After their second kiddo was born, Lauren's gas situation was bad. Like, reallllly bad (just ask Anish...).

Her GI doctor suggested psyllium husk fiber powder. She ignored the advice for months because, in her words: "I'm not constipated ... or a grandma."

But eventually she gave in. And it worked ... shockingly well.

Not just for poops, but for overall gut rhythm, comfort, and energy.

Then Anish tried it, mainly out of curiosity but also mild disbelief. Same outcome — and an 18% decrease in bad cholesterol too!

Neither of us thought we needed fiber, but we had no idea how glorious our poops could be.

Then we got stuck

Psyllium husk worked amazingly well, but we couldn’t find a version that tasted good and had ingredients we felt good about.

Everything on the shelf was packed with sweeteners, flavors, dyes, or other fillers we didn't trust.

Even the “clean” ones had stevia or monkfruit — which give us gut trouble.

We just wanted something simple, real, and effective. Turns out, that didn’t exist.

So we started mixing our own

Nothing fancy.

Just organic psyllium husk and real fruit powders in our kitchen.

We didn’t plan to make it a thing. We just wanted a delicious, clean version for ourselves.

Then our friends and family tried it.

Then they asked to buy it.

Then they came back asking for more.

Even our kiddos gave it two thumbs up!

That’s when we realized this wasn’t just for us. Lots of people want fiber that works without all the extra junk.

  • Why Cour exists

    Because fiber shouldn’t be neon, sweetened, artificially flavored, or full of weird ingredients.

    Because real psyllium husk works incredibly well when you don’t mess it up with other stuff.

    Because we all deserve a gut routine that’s easy, effective, and yes, even enjoyable.

    And because once you experience glorious poops, there’s no going back.

  • What we believe in

    • Real organic food, always
    • No sweeteners — not even stevia or monkfruit
    • No fillers, flavors, dyes, or preservatives
    • Science-backed simplicity
    • Joy in everyday rituals
    • Transparency over trends

Co-founders, parents, fiber lovers

We live in San Francisco with our two kids, spend way too much time talking about poop, and are building the fiber drink we desperately wish existed.

And no, we don't usually look this fancy ;)
