Psyllium husk is a natural and plant-based dietary fibre. It ensures a varied and balanced diet and boosts fiber intake. It supports regular bowel movements and enhances gut health. It also improves blood sugar management and helps with weight loss. This laxative supplement relieves the symptoms of constipation and lowers cholesterol levels.
Its source is the seeds of the Plantago ovata plant, a plant native to India. It has high mucilage content that absorbs water, forming a gel-like substance in the gut. This gel bulks up the stool and supports the flow of digesta in the digestive canal.
