Psyllium Husks
Psyllium Husk
What is psyllium husk? An excellent source of soluble fiber, psyllium husk is derived from the Plantago ovata plant and most often found in powder or capsule form.
The outer husk of the psyllium plant contains a gummy substance (known as mucilage) that expands into a thick gel when mixed with water. This gel contains fiber, which is important to fuel the growth of beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract. Psyllium husk benefits also include promoting overall colon health, the body's natural elimination process, as well as supporting healthy blood sugar levels already within normal range.†
Tip: To reap the benefits of this natural fiber, mix psyllium husk powder into a full glass of water, juice or other beverage of choice. If taking capsules, be sure to take with a full, 8-ounce glass of water.
