Psyllium Husk Powder

Psyllium husk is a dietary fiber derived from the seed husk of the Plantago ovata plant. 

Psyllium husk, which is native to Iran and India, is widely used in traditional medicine due to its rich dietary fiber content, mainly to treat symptoms such as constipation, ulcers and high blood pressure

Composition and nutrition

The main nutritional component of psyllium husk is dietary fiber, accounting for 86% per unit of Psyllium husk. Among them, the content of soluble fiber is equivalent to 14 times that of familiar oats. This high fiber content makes psyllium husk one of the highest dietary fiber substances ever found

Function and Effect

1. Relieve constipation and promote weight loss

Psyllium shells are rich in water-soluble fibers, which swell to form tens of times gel clusters when exposed to water. This gel blob increases satiety, reduces caloric intake and maintains the moisture and softness of stool, promoting normal bowel emptying. In addition, psyllium shells can also clean the gut and reduce the incidence of colon cancer.

2. Reduce the incidence of cardiovascular diseases

The soluble fiber of psyllium husk can bind with the substances that produce cholesterol, increase the excretion of cholesterol, and reduce the body's intake of cholesterol. It is of great significance to prevent hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, fatty liver, arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

3. Prevent intestinal diseases

Psyllium husk can promote intestinal peristalsis, make food debris pass through the intestine faster, and reduce the absorption of toxins and carcinogens in the small intestine. This has a good effect on preventing intestinal diseases such as constipation and hemorrhoids.
