Vilgain Organic Psyllium - soluble fibre to support the proper functioning of the digestive tract

Psyllium husk is a soluble fibre that is obtained by cleaning and then grinding the seed coats of Indian plantain. Our Psyllium is 98% pure, sourced from India and is also of organic quality.

How does psyllium husk work inside our body?

Psyllium has great absorption capabilities. It swells in liquid and forms a soft gel that absorbs liquids. Due to the fact that it increases its volume in the digestive tract, it gives us a feeling of satiety and is suitable to use it to enrich meals, for example, during weight loss diets.

Food for beneficial intestinal bacteria

In addition to the benefits mentioned above, psyllium also acts as a prebiotic, i.e. food for beneficial gut bacteria, otherwise known as probiotics, and promotes their growth.

Who is psyllium good for and who should avoid it?

Fibre is generally deficient in the Western diet, so psyllium husk is suitable for virtually everyone. People who suffer from digestive problems (either diarrhea or constipation) will appreciate it the most. Conversely, it is definitely not suitable for young children under 3 years of age. Although it is an all‑natural product, pregnant women should consult a doctor regarding the use and dosage of psyllium.

Drinking is essential when taking psyllium

It is important for the proper functioning of psyllium that you also follow a drinking regime. Adequate fluid intake will ensure that psyllium husk swells and forms a gel in the body, allowing it to perform its beneficial functions.
