Psyllium husks are natural pure dietary fibre to help clear toxins, aid regularity and maintain bowel health. It is used by millions of people throughout the world as a natural alternative to some habit-forming laxatives.

Adequate fibre in the diet is considered vital for digestive regularity and good health. A well balanced diet with the correct levels of fibre will stimulate proper elimination. This is necessary for the digestive system to work effectively and ensure that the body can absorb all the nutrients it needs from foods. A 'clogged' system can accumulate toxins, which can prevent the digestive system from functioning properly. Fibre helps to improve the transit time of waste products through the system, which in turn can help overall digestive health.

Psyllium Husks are pure dietary fibres that are not digested in the small intestine, but are partially broken down in the colon. They act as a sponge, absorbing water and waste material in the bowels. This helps to clear toxins, preventing them from staying too long in the colon. Psyllium husks are very safe and are used by millions of people throughout the world as a natural alternative to some habit-forming laxatives.

Psyllium is a member of the plant family, Plantaginaceae, which is not related to wheat, this is particularly good news for those with a wheat intolerance.

Generally, the fibre in our diet comes from wheat bran, which can be irritating to the sensitive walls of the bowel. As it is non-abrasive, psyllium is ideal for sensitive cell walls.

Psyllium is a soluble fibre used primarily as a gentle bulk-forming laxative. It comes from the plant plantain which produces tiny, gel-coated seeds. Psyllium husk is derived from these odourless, tasteless seeds.
