About Psylium
Psyllium is a natural dietary fiber derived from the husks of seeds from the Plantago ovata plant, commonly grown in India. Known for its remarkable ability to absorb water, psyllium forms a gel-like substance when mixed with liquids, making it a popular ingredient in gluten-free baking and as a thickener in soups and stews. A staple in traditional Indian cuisine, it is also widely used as a health supplement to support digestive wellness. Psyllium is rich in soluble fiber, which helps regulate bowel movements, lower cholesterol levels, and maintain blood sugar balance. It is often consumed as part of a balanced diet to promote heart health and aid weight management. While psyllium is generally considered safe, excessive intake may lead to bloating, gas, or intestinal discomfort, particularly if hydration is inadequate. Always ensure psyllium is accompanied by plenty of fluids for optimal benefits.
