Whole Psyllium Husk

Organika Whole Psyllium Seed Husk, 454g

Psyllium husk is a soluble fibre derived from the seeds of psyllium, or Plantago ovata. Traditionally used in Herbal Medicine as a bulk-forming laxative to promote bowel movements, it provides gentle relief of constipation and irregularity.

Plantago ovata, or psyllium, is a seed plant native to India. The hulls of the psyllium seed are very high in soluble fibre. It’s the kind of fibre that bulks up and dissolves in water, due to its mucilaginous (or in layman's terms, slimy) properties. This slimy, gelling, mucousy fibre is not absorbed through the digestive tract and into the body, but instead stays in the intestines. Here it helps to slow the release of digested carbohydrates, provide bulk to stool for soft, consistent bowel movements and help to bind and pull toxins and excess cholesterol out of our colon and into the toilet. 

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Mix 1 tbsp with at least 8 oz of water, juice or your favourite beverage. Stir and drink immediately. If too thick, add more liquid and stir. Drinking an additional glass of water afterwards is advisable to ensure adequate hydration.

CAUTION: This product may cause allergic reaction in people sensitive to inhaled or ingested psyllium.
