Psyllium is one of the most popular and highest sources of dietary fibre. It has been used for centuries for the treatment of constipation, ulcers, colitis and as an aid in bowel management for patients with hemorrhoids. It has also been found that Psyllium can help decrease the bad cholesterolin the blood while it raises the good kind of cholesterol required by our bodies. This natural product that softens the stools and cleans the intestines is now easy to take in a new capsule form.

Pysllium Husks can be a convenient way to increase the intake of dietary fiber. It has the ability to swell up to 50 times its initial volume when added to liquid. This bulking action can play an important role in maintaining regularity and gastrointestinal health.
