Cholesterol management · Heart healthy What is psyllium husk? Taken from the
seeds of the self-fertile Plantago asiatica herb, psyllium is a soluble fiber
known for its water solubility and absorption. When combined with water, it
becomes a highly viscous, gel-like substance resistant to immediate digestion.
Because of this, it is believed to help promote digestion and is frequently
used as the main ingredient in most over-the-counter fiber supplements. Read
more Digestion Studies indicate that psyllium husk can be beneficial for both
constipation and diarrhea relief. By binding to partially digested food as it
passes through the stomach, psyllium functions as a bulk-forming laxative that
helps keep bowel movements regular. Weight loss management Psyllium husk also
has the ability to promote feelings of fullness and decreased appetite. When
combined with a fiber-rich diet, it has been shown to have an effect on weight
loss and overall body fat. How to take As a dietary supplement, take 5 grams
(just under 1 tbsp) one to three times daily with at least 8 ounces of water,
or as directed by a physician. Due to its absorbency, psyllium husk may cause
choking if it is not consumed with enough liquid. Seek out medical attention
if vomiting or difficulty swallowing occurs. Read more
