Psyllium (Plantago ovata)
Synopsis
Psyllium is a soluble fiber derived from the husks of Plantago ovata seeds. It forms a gel-like substance when mixed with water, making it an effective bulk-forming laxative that supports bowel regularity and digestive comfort. Psyllium also helps regulate blood sugar, lower LDL cholesterol, and promote satiety. It is widely used for constipation, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and detoxification, and is gentle enough for long-term use in fiber support formulas.
