Description
Psyllium is a plant with so-called "soluble" fibers, which can absorb several times their weight in water. Psyllium fibers help naturally regulate intestinal transit without irritating the mucous membranes and contribute to normalizing fat and sugar balances.
It is very important to drink plenty of fluids after taking psyllium capsules.
The active and interesting part of blond psyllium or ispaghul is the seed coat. This coat is rich in mucilages. Mucilages are plant polysaccharides that have softening properties. Mucilages form a gel upon contact with water, a viscous gel that can protect the intestinal mucous membranes, gently activate or regulate transit, and nourish the intestinal flora, as polysaccharides are prebiotics for friendly bacteria in the intestine.
Blond psyllium was already traditionally used in India hundreds of years ago. The seed is harvested and then separated from the seed coat, which is sorted, washed, and dried.
As a dietary supplement, psyllium is traditionally used to combat digestive disturbances and to increase general well-being.
Intestinal transit is gently stimulated by blond psyllium, without intestinal stimulation, only mechanically. It has no harmful side effects, only benefits.
