Product Description

PSYLLIUM HUSK POWDER

Botanical name: Plantago ovata Forssk.
Plant part used: Seed husk

Psyllium husk is naturally rich in soluble fibre. When mixed with water, it swells and forms a soft gel.

Potential benefits

Psyllium husk powder may help to:

• Support healthy bowel regularity.
• Soften and bulk the stool, assisting occasional constipation.
• Support normal digestive and colon function.
• Promote a feeling of fullness.
• Support healthy cholesterol and blood-glucose levels as part of a balanced diet.

How to use

Adults: Mix one level teaspoon—approximately 5 g—into at least 250 ml of water. Stir well and drink immediately before it thickens. Follow with another full glass of water. Use once daily.

Begin with a smaller amount if sensitive to additional fibre. Drink sufficient water throughout the day.

Important caution

Never consume the powder dry. Inadequate fluid may cause choking or an intestinal obstruction. Do not use if you have difficulty swallowing, narrowing or obstruction of the digestive tract, unexplained abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, rectal bleeding or a persistent unexplained change in bowel habits.

Take Psyllium at least two hours before or after medicines and other supplements. Consult a healthcare practitioner before use during pregnancy, breastfeeding, with diabetes, or for children under 12 years.
