Solgar Psyllium Husks Fibre 168g

Solgar's Psyllium Husks Fibre Powder is free of corn, yeast, wheat, soy and dairy products and is formulated without the use of preservatives, artificial flavours or colours.

A natural dietary source of fibre, regularly used in cases of constipation or diarrhea. Psyllium helps to provide bulk to the stools, which can improve transit time and effectiveness. Often in cases of ongoing diarrhea or loose stools there is not enough fibre in the diet, which can be helped by the use of Psyllium.

Recent studies suggest that it might also be useful in reducing cholesterol levels and blood sugar levels.

Suggestions for use: Start with a teaspoon a day building up to a tablespoon a day, taken with at least 225ml of water or juice. If you wish you can take it in divided doses during the day, before meals.
Alternatively the powder can be sprinkled on breakfast cereals, or added to smoothies, soups or casseroles. This can make them quite thick so it may require some experimentation!

It is important to make sure that you are staying hydrated when taking extra fibre as this aids the transit through the gut.
If taken before meals it can make you feel fuller, and therefore may aid in weight loss. It can also help to balance blood sugar levels which can help to reduce cravings for sweet things, and again help with weight loss or control.
It is important for diabetics to remember that because of the beneficial effect on blood sugar levels, use of psyllium may potentially affect the amount of insulin they need and this should be carefully monitored.

Leave an hour between taking Psyllium and medications as their absorption may be reduced.

INGREDIENTS: Each level tablespoon provides approx. 5.8g of Psyllium Husks Fibre.
