Enriched psyllium husk is an excellent source of fiber. It purifies, decontaminates and is 100% natural. Psyllium is a bulk forming laxative and is high in both fiber and mucilage. Psyllium seeds contain 10–30% mucilage. The laxative properties of psyllium are due to the swelling of the husk when it comes in contact with water. This forms a gelatinous mass that keeps feces hydrated and soft, provided it is taken with sufficient water. The resulting bulk stimulates a reflex contraction of the walls of the bowel, followed by emptying.
100% psyllium husk, partially ground, enriched with prebiotics eliminates toxins and waste from the gastrointestinal system slowly as it supplies healthy fibers.
Inulin or fructo-oligosaccharides (F.O.S.) feeds the probiotic bacteria population in the colon, which in turn, contributes to human health in many ways.
The F.O.S. is good for: proliferation of bifidobacteria and reduction of detrimental bacteria; reduction of toxic metabolites and detrimental enzymes; prevention of pathogenic and autogenous diarrhea; prevention of constipation; protection of liver function; reduction of blood pressure; production of nutrients.
Psyllium husk is excellent for softening the stool, preventing constipation as well as hemorroïds and colitis.
