Psyllium Husk is a bulk-forming fibre. It works primarily through mechanical effect by absorbing water, bulking the colonic contents and decreasing transit time.

If you take Psyllium Husks every day, it will naturally help the elimination of unwanted waste from your body to keep your digestive system clean.

Psyllium Husks will provide the bulk to the digested food which helps it move through the digestive tract at a normal rate, and relieves constipation.

Clinical studies have shown that 7 grams of soluble fibre from Psyllium Husk, as found in Premium Choice Psyllium Husks, taken daily as part of a heart-healthy diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may lower cholesterol. Reductions in cholesterol may contribute to reducing the risk of heart disease.

Psyllium is the husk of the seed of the Psyllium plant and is a top herb used in for general intestinal health. It contains a spongy fiber that can help reduce appetite, improves digestion and cleanses the system, making it an excellent choice for a healthy diet. Psyllium can provide the fiber that is missing on low carbohydrate diets. Every 100 grams of psyllium provides 71 grams of soluble fibre; a similar amount of oat bran would contain only 5 grams of soluble fibre. Psyllium is one of the simplest, healthiest and most effective herbs for that can aid weight control diet.

Psyllium has also been used to aid irritable bowel syndrome (a stress-related disorder with alternating bouts of diarrhea and constipation) and hemorrhoids and is often recommended following anal or rectal surgery, during pregnancy and as a secondary treatment in certain types of diarrhea.

Psyllium soaks up a significant amount of water in the digestive tract, thereby making stool firmer and, under these circumstances, slower to pass. Psyllium also has the additional advantages over other sources of fiber of reducing flatulence and bloating. It may be recommended by a physician to help soften stool and reduce the pain associated with hemorrhoids.
