Psyllium Husk

Psyllium Husk – available package 250gr & 1kg

The most common use of psyllium husk is as a dietary fiber supplement. Psyllium husk is derived from the seeds of the Plantago ovata plant and contains a high amount of soluble fiber. It is widely used to promote regular bowel movements, relieve constipation, and improve overall digestive health.

When mixed with water, psyllium husk forms a gel-like substance that can help soften the stool and increase its bulk, making it easier to pass. This is why psyllium husk is often used as a gentle and natural laxative.

In addition to its laxative effects, psyllium husk is also known to help regulate cholesterol levels. The soluble fiber in psyllium husk can bind to cholesterol in the digestive tract, preventing its absorption into the bloodstream and reducing LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels. This makes psyllium husk beneficial for individuals with high cholesterol or those looking to improve their heart health.

Furthermore, psyllium husk can aid in weight management. The fiber content of psyllium husk promotes a feeling of fullness and can help control appetite, thereby supporting weight loss or weight maintenance efforts.

It’s important to note that psyllium husk should be taken with an adequate amount of water or fluid to avoid any potential choking hazards or intestinal blockages. Always follow the recommended dosage and consult a healthcare professional before starting any new dietary supplements.
