Psyllium husk is a type of fiber that acts as a gentle, bulk forming laxative. Possible benefits range from relieving constipation and treating diarrhoea to managing blood sugar levels and boosting heart health.
Psyllium, similarly to other soluble fibers, passes through the small intestine without being completely broken down or absorbed.
Instead, it absorbs water and becomes a viscous compound that benefits constipation, diarrhea, blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol, and weight loss.
Common dosages of psyllium are 5–10 g, with meals at least once per day.
