About Psyllium husks

Psyllium husks are derived from the seeds of the Plantago ovata plant, native to regions of India and Iran. Rich in soluble fiber, they are widely recognized for their powerful role in supporting healthy digestion. When mixed with water, psyllium forms a gel-like substance that helps regulate bowel movements, alleviate constipation, and promote gut health. It is also known to support heart health by aiding in cholesterol management and stabilizing blood sugar levels. Psyllium husks are flavorless and versatile, often used in gluten-free baking, smoothies, and as a thickening agent in recipes. While generally safe, consuming psyllium in excess or without adequate hydration may cause discomfort, emphasizing the importance of drinking plenty of water when incorporating it into your diet. Psyllium husks are a wholesome, plant-based addition to a balanced diet, offering a natural source of dietary fiber for overall well-being.
