What is Psyllium Husk?

Psyllium husk is a natural source of soluble fibre derived from the seeds of the plantago ovata plant. It is often used as a dietary supplement by people looking to boost their fibre intake.

Benefits of Psyllium Husk

Psyllium husk supports digestive health as a source of fibre, helping maintain regular bowel movements and preventing constipation. As a natural fibre source, it enhances overall gut health by feeding beneficial gut bacteria.

How Does Psyllium Husk Work?

When mixed with water, psyllium husk forms a gel-like substance. It is believed to absorb water in the gut, and the resulting gel may have a beneficial effect on bowel regularity (as part of a balanced diet).

How to Take Psyllium Husk

Psyllium husk is available in different forms, including powder, capsules, and tablets. Psyllium husk powder can be mixed with water or juice, and should be consumed immediately. Capsules and tablets should be taken with a full glass of water, following the recommended dosage. It is strongly recommended to drink plenty of fluids while consuming psyllium to avoid bloating or discomfort.
