Psyllium Husk Powder

Psyllium Husk Powder

Psyllium powder is produces from the seeds of a plant, most commonly grown in India. Although it is often called a laxative, it is not. It is, however, a rich source of soluble fibre. Soluble fibre becomes gelatinous and sticky in water and is not absorbed in the small intestine. It passes through to the colon where it helps to bulk up the stool, producing a larger softer stool which is easier to pass. Other good sources of soluble fibre include oats, fruit pectins and beans.

Contents: 340g Psyllium Husk Powder 

What are the benefits of taking Psyllium?
Psyllium is a bulking agent that promotes bowel regularity. It can be used regularly, as opposed to harsh stimulant laxatives which should only be used occasionally. It can be helpful in releiving chronic constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, diverticulosis and hiatus hernia. Taking soluble fibre may also help to lower cholesterol as part of a nutrition and exercise programme. One serving of psyllium contains only 15 calories.

How do I take Psyllium Husk Powder?
Once a day, briskly stir one rounded teaspoon (5g) into 200ml of liquid (children, one-half teaspoon in 100ml liquid). Drink immediately, before the liquid begins to gel.

Important: Take this product with the full recommended quantity of liquid. If you do not drink enough liquid, the product may swell in the throat causing blockage or choking. Avoid use if you have ever had throat or swallowing problems. Seek immediate medical help if pain or swelling/breathing difficulties occur.
