SAT-ISABGOL PSYLLIUM HUSK 100g

Psyllium husk comes from a shrub-like herb called Plantago ovata, which grows worldwide but is most common in India. Each plant can produce up to 15,000 tiny, gel-coated seeds, from which psyllium husk is derived. It also sometimes goes by the name ispaghula. What is psyllium husk used for? It is best known as a natural laxative that is commonly found in health stores.

What is psyllium husk powder? Psyllium husk powder is an edible soluble fiber and prebiotic. It’s often referred to as a bulking fiber because once it is ingested, it expands, forming a gel-like mass by drawing water in from the colon. It then promotes easy, healthy elimination by sweeping waste out of the colon more quickly and efficiently.

In addition, psyllium husk is known to have positive effects on heart health and cholesterol levels. Studies have also shown that psyllium husk fiber is safe, well-tolerated and improves glycemic control for people with diabetes. Unlike stimulant laxatives, psyllium is gentle and not addictive.
