Psyllium seed husks may provide effective constipation relief and may serve as an effective laxative. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also recognized that the soluble fiber from psyllium seed husks, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce risk of coronary heart disease. Psyllium may also support and promote healthy blood sugar levels. Another benefit may be a feeling of fullness, which could aid weight management.

As a natural source of soluble fiber, psyllium promotes bowel regularity and supports gastrointestinal health. Psyllium seeds may relieve constipation caused by lifestyle factors, but not caused by disease. Psyllium may also offer benefits for related health concerns, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), hemorrhoids, and diarrhea.

As a dietary supplement, take 5 capsules daily with an 8 oz glass of liquid or as directed by a physician.

Pregnant or lactating women, diabetics, hypoglycemics, and people with known medical conditions and/or taking drugs should consult with a licensed physician and/or pharmacist prior to taking dietary supplements.

Do not use laxatives when abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting are present or for more than 1 week unless directed by a doctor. If you experience a sudden change in bowel habits that persists over 2 weeks, consult a doctor before using laxatives. Rectal bleeding or failure to move bowels after laxative use may indicate a serious condition. Discontinue use and consult a doctor. As with any drug, if you are pregnant or nursing a baby seek the advice of a health professional before using this product. Keep this and all medicines out of children's reach. In case of accidental overdose, seek professional assistance or contact a poison control center immediately.
