Psyllium Husk

Description

Soluble Fibre

Psyllium Husk is a gluten-free, edible 70% soluble and 30% insoluble fibre that can be also be used in baking. It acts as a gentle laxative, maintains healthy blood sugar levels and helps regulate cholesterol.

Psyllium passes through the small intestine without being completely absorbed. Instead, it absorbs water and becomes a viscous compound that benefits constipation, blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol. Don’t forget to increase your water intake.

Benefits of Psyllium Husk:

Laxative

Psyllium is best known as a natural, gentle and non-addictive laxative which helps with constipation. It works by drawing water into your intestines, softening the stool thus making it easier to pass.

Pure Fibre

Fibre is more than just a regulator — it’s also delivers essential nutrients to the entire body. If we don’t get enough fibre on a daily basis we could suffer from constipation. It helps with diarrhoea and haemorrhoids (which are often the result of constipation).

Healthy Immune System

A healthy colony of good bacteria in the digestive system is essential for healthy immune function. Your body is better able to fight infection, reduce inflammation, and maintain healthy tissue and cells.

Blood Sugar Levels

Psyllium helps to improve glycaemic control for people with diabetes. Gel forming fibres in psyllium can slow down the digestion of food thereby helping to maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
