Summary

All Benefits/Effects/Facts & Information

Psyllium husk is a fiber that comes from the plant Plantago ovata that is native to India.  Psyllium husks are water soluble and form into a gel like substance (similar to chia seeds).  Psyllium husk supplementation is mainly used to help treat constipation in a natural way.

Psyllium contains high amounts of both fiber and mucilage. The husks swell in size when they are in contact with water which keeps feces hydrated and soft allowing for easier bowel movement.

Other psyllium husk supplementation benefits:

• Relieves constipation
• May help relieve symptoms associated with diverticular disease
• Lowers LDL (“bad”) cholesterol.
• Helps treat diarrhea symptoms.
• Weight loss and appetite control
